Help with installing iPC. Not getting past 'cross' screen.

Akumara · #1 01-18-2009, 06:52 AM

Hi there

My PC Specs are as follows:
Motherboard: GIGABYE S-Series EP43-DS3R
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600
RAM: 2x2GB Kingston DDR2
GFX: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO
HDD: 2x1TB Raid 1, 2x320GB (WinXP on 1, OSX on other), 250GB.

I'd downloaded the latest iPC and patched it with all 3 PPF's and checked the MD5 checksum. I get this image when trying to boot the installer.

Any ideas? would be greatly appreciated.

Boot with -v at the f8 prompt and we can help u from there. ( v is for verbose or text mode)

Sorry i couldn't get the whole screen. Any ideas from that though?
If you need the part at the end then I will try to get it all.

This was the msg I got after I changed afew settings in my bios. (Stuff to do with my CPU) I think the first time i did it there was a different msg...i'm unsure.

put your cpu settings in bios back to their defaults
boot with -v -x
If it doesn't boot post results

i already changed most of them to the standard setting. I'll try changing some more settings around later and post my results! thanks

"Still waiting for root device"

is the message that comes up after a bunch of other gibberish.
I tried disabling my raid, disabling the multi-cores, and disabling alot of the bios features.

Anyone have any idea on how to get this to install on my motherboard? (like the exact bios settings?)
