Computer 3 : laptop hp dv9000z

i've only tried ipc on computer 2 and 3 . and my results are as follows

computer 2(used ipc 10.5.6 burned to dvd) : i was able to get to the installer and all, it didn't detect the internal HDD which i have xp on as u can see in the screenshot, so i put in a 2.5 usb hdd i have in an enclosure and it detected it , i formated it to hfs+ journaled in disk utility, i reasearched a lot to see what drivers i have to select, i wasn't sure what i chipset or graphics to pick so i didn't pick any , i picked the 882 for audio and 10/100 for the internet, all the apps , voodoo, and the usb fix i think , it installed and all in abt 20 minutes, restarted and it just went to windows xp that i have on the internal HDD, i tried to boot into the USB hardrive but it didn't work and booted to xp .

i tried installing again doing everything the same except for not picking voodoo and picking the intel chipset and a nvidia driver , i don't recall the name but it said it suppourted all geforce 6,7,8 drivers. no success, same thing happened

for computer 3, the laptop, same dvd:

didn't get to the installer , i got to this

extended

PLZ PLZ help me , any more info u need, i'll be willing to provide, Thank you

ps: no i didn't try anything on my first computer, its what i'm doing all my work on , such as this post, so i don't wanna accidently do anything and wreck it, i wanna make sure i can do it first .

bump

come on guys plz i need some help , lots of views but no posts ? help meeee

I tried IDENEB with no success,

Computer 1: went a bit furthur than IPC , this time it said waiting for root device or something like that

Computer 2 : It installed and all, took a WAY longer time than IPC, IPC took like 20 minutes to install and everything , IDENEB took like 2 hours , pretty dissapointed that it didn't work , when i restarted them without the disc in , it failed to boot , just gave an error, when i put the dvd in and hit -f i got an apple then i got a spinning wheel and just stayed like that for a while till i got a crossed circle.

Computer 3: didn't try ideneb yet on it, will post back with results

Author Update #2 @ramoz 2010-02-01

Some progress:

Computer 1: nothing, tried iDeneb again, still waiting for root device, what should i do ?

Computer 2 : Found an old copy of Kalaway 10.5.2 and it worked !
took me a pretty long while getting the ethernet working and graphics to work properly but its looking good i software updated everything (itunes, quicktime, iphoto) but the os to 10.5.8, should i or should i not ? what are the risks .

Computer 3: nothing

yes i did try kalaway on comp 1 and 3, nothing

Field Note #1 @Saulidava 2010-01-31

Im not a pro.. but the problem i had was that the BIOS setting wasnt set as Achi when i set it on Achi it worked
And before u install go to Costumize and choose the settings u need. And remember to choose a kernel
