crap! Well this is going to be extremely slow then. Too bad this motherboard doesn't let you boot from firewire...

seems to be hanging on the "time remaining: calculating..." screen. I'll wait 30 minutes and if it doesn't look like the bar has moved at all then I'm giving up.

EDIT:

It's installing now.... finally. Let's hope this time everything is cleared up.

Btw, roisoft, do you think it's a good idea that my leopard hard drive is my slave drive, and is booted from pc_efi from my linux/grub installation on my first hard drive?

can somebody explain, how to do this?...if it is possible, without an installed Tiger...

With Sata drives, no problem but with Ide drives i think it´s better Mac Os like a master drive, but maybe i´m wrong, you can try add Mac OS to the grub list but i don´t know if your slave drive can boot properly.

thanks roisoft. Yes, as I've explained earlier, I've installed zephyroth from DVD-ROM before, and I booted it from grub installed on my linux partition on the first hard drive. I could get the login screen and it would let me fill out my account information, then it would crash. When rebooted and tried to login, I kept getting kicked out of the desktop and back to the login screen again.

I'm trying the install from my external hard drive as of now, so I'm waiting to see if it fixed the problem. If not, I'll try the iATKOS amd patches, because some people have reported success.

ok. Tried the whole stupid external hard drive install thing. DID NOT WORK. I'm going to try the iATKOS.

Same motherboard here and everything went pretty smooth. Didn't have the 1 minute remaining issue or anything like that and I transferred my info from another partition and logged in straight away. I'm using an X2 3800+ with PATA IDE hard drive and Pioneer DVR111 dvd.

My BIOS options are below:

IDE
Sata enabled
Sata raid disabled
Silicon image sata disabled

USB legacy disable

Both LAN enabled
LAN bootrom disabled
Audio auto

ok, I got it to install using iatkos, with AMD patch and then new kernel and other patched files. Was a hard run, and I had to do the single-user root passwd touch applesetupdone thing to get into the desktop, but it works now.

I have not gotten the MarvelYukon to work, but I'm working on it.

Ok, everything works so far, just have to edit the marvelyukon vendor id and hopefully it will speed things up. For now I'm using my Leopard install as of writing this with my firewire shared connection.

Full 3d, front row works, itunes works, optical audio out works, everything works.

I will write a guide and post it.

Thanks for your help roisman, even ethough I ended up using anotehr DVD LOL

So you didn't have any booting problems? Did you boot without bootflags?
?f so maybe it is because of that you use different CPU (X2 3800+) a dual core one..
