Does anybody know of a working distro for the specs below?

Intel Corei7 965 Extreme Edition, Nvidia GTX295, DDR3 3x2GB RAM, ASUS Rampage II Extreme, Pioneer BD-Burner, 1TB HDD SATA unformatted.

Tried iAtkos, iDeneb, and iPC all latest versions and keep getting a reboot at the 'press F8' screen... also tried the -x -f -v prefixes in different variations and it still reboots

Semi.

Leo4all worked really good for me, in fact i kind of regret switching to iPC.

also try removing some of your RAM (like have 1 x 2GB), and then putting it in if you get OSX to install successfully.

Since last time i tried using XxX and although it wouldn't install unless i used boot commands:
busratio=20 cpus=1 -v
it installed and i did not choose any extras ie. the bare minimum as i thought i could install those later, but if i leave the install DVD in the drive it automatically goes to reinstall after installation already completed, so of course i removed the DVD and the boot screen came up but it wouldn't let me boot in, it just kept restarting (even trying the same boot commands to install eg. -x -v -f etc.)
Can you suggest what i can do?

ps. took out 4GB DDR3 and still keeps restarting.

i finally got an installation to complete but when i went to restart and boot into the installation it kept restarting, so i used busratio=24 cpus=1 fsb=133 -v -f and then it gave me the error "using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers"....
Can someone please help me with what kexts i need to replace and where i can get them from???

I've installed and booted iPC 10.5.6 voodoo 9.6.0 and Chameleon 1.0.11 on an i7 920 using busratio=20 every time.

But after you update to vanilla 10.5.7 you won't need that.
