Alright now my computer is really bugging me i have tried to install OS X now 5 times and each time ive had a problem:
1st Time:
Couldnt format the IDE Drive, i just fixed that by replacing with a SATA disk and that all worked out.
2nd Time:
I partitioned it into 2 partitions, one was fat32 the other Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled) Format, then when i went to install with the minimum kexts (NVinject 0.2.1 and Vanilla Kernal) It froze at 2mins left of install
3rd Time:
I reduced the HDD to just one Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled) partition with the same kext and the install finished! then i got the "still waiting for root device" error, i tried many of the troubleshooting techniques in the "still waiting for root device" sticky thread. but still nothing, i tried booting in -X -V, -F -V, rd=disk0s1 -v, and none of them worked however i later worked out that it was actually disk0s2 that i was supposed to be trying to boot from but i had already reformatted my disk at this time :@
4th Time:
It froze at 2mins of install remaining AGAIN! even though i only had the one Mac OS Exteneded (Journaled) partition. Then i got fed up and went to sleep.
5th Time:
I tried again, and now when i put my install disk in i get this error before it enters even the install setup:
Code:
Debugger called: <panic>

I dont know what to do, i get that same error with both Leo4all install disks i have, im lost now. can someone please offer some guidance?
