this is an asus m3n-ht deluxe
i have a amd2+ phenom 64 quad core
nvidia 9800gt 512mb
i use a usb mouse and keyboard

ive tried some bios settings ive seen on the forums
ive tried kalyway and idaneb

recently with idaneb i got it to install last tried the voodoo driver

i think my problem is im using the wrong combination of drivers in the list at the times ive tried

can someone assist me with a release, and which drivers to use based on my system?

bare in mind this is an AMD with a nforce chipset, normaly is unusual but its getting normal now days

I suspected it already WAS normal (albeit not as OSX-friendly).
OK, so you got it to install via iDeneb and the Voodoo kernel? What kind of problem are you having then, post-install? The "not allowed" sign over the Apple at bootup? It appears to boot but then goes black and you have to hold down the power button? "Please reset your computer" (Kernel Panic)?
We need more information on the problem you're having before we can resolve what you need. Aside from that questionable nForce, it sounds like your drivers are in order.

Custom Hackintosh...AMD Athlon X2 5000+ (2.6 GHz) on GA-MA78GM-S2H...Linksys WMP300n Wireless...ALC889a sound...ATI HD 3650 PCIe...1 GB DDR2 RAM...320GB Western Digital SATA + 200GB Seagate IDE HDD...Rosewill DVD-RW IDE...Running Kalyway upgraded to 10.5.7...All Fully Functional

Yea all i selected was the voodoo kernel, should i be selecting chipset drivers and all sorts of other stuff?
and it booted up to the apple logo, and the spinning circle, and that was it, i left it there for almost an hour no luck
