Ok, here's what happened when I booted with -v to see what was causing it to freeze.
First, I re-installed and only selected 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel, and MCP67 Chipset, nothing else. Next, I then rebooted with the "-v" also tried "-v idlehalt=0" , also tried "-v cpus=1", each one resulted the same problem... "waiting for root" and it wouldn't go any farther. So I am taking this error as it's not finding my HDD upon re-boot after installing the OS?? If there are any suggesting as to what to do next, please say, I am open to anything to try. BTW: You guys are awesome in your help and patience!

Hi. Before you re installed did you reformat the partition to hfs+ journal extended? If not do that

Also check this FAQ at osx86. Has a few solutions for "waiting for root device"

Thanx yazz2020, I will definatley give that second one a try!
As for the first one, I am not sure how to do, since the kext's are all in the Extensions.mkext (which is packed of course, since I used iDeneb 10.5.7) :-) HP Pavilion dv6609wm | AMD 64 x2 TL-55 1.8Ghz | nForce/MCP67 Chipset | Nvidia 7150m/630m 128mb Video | 160Gb HDD SATA | DVD+-DLRW Slimline PATA | Broadcom 4311 802.11 g/b Wifi | NForce Ethernet | OS X 10.5.7 Last edited by PumaSpeedDrift; 09-03-2009 at 09:07 PM.
