I will discuss 2 machines in this thread:
1. My primary acer aspire x1700. (nfo (inf oftp.co.cc/misc/palznfo.zip))
-OSs: 7, Vista, XP
2. My revived Dell Dimension 8400
-OS: Ubuntu 9.10
My acer boots the CD, I press enter (or -v, or cpus=1, or anything else), and it restarts. Doesn't even get to the installer.

No hackintosh forum has helped me (they just ignore me :' so far, so I hope you guys can.
