Hello there...

after i got a kernel panic when starting from DVD, i found out that i have to remove the AppleNForceATA.kext and rebuild the .iso because i have nforce3 Chipset (http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=358&page=1#Item_0) - after a long night i managed to do that and t i went through installation.

When i rebooted after installation system hang on "waiting for root" (blinking cursor), so i tried to fix booting for GUID + EFI as described in the following post: http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=140&page=1#Item_0
I couldnt fix that problem - so i decided just to change the system disc from GUID to MBR.

Now i have that freeze about 1-2 minutes before end of installation - i tried to reinstall (do i have to choose drivers etc. again?) as written in the "known issues": http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc0 - but still the same problem.

One time i rebooted and tried to start without DVD - and (big surprise!) Leopard started and worked. I played around a little and everything seemed to work fine - only i had no audio (AC97) and no LAN (but maybe i have to choose different drivers). As i wasnt sure if that system is ok after that "freeze-1-minute-before-end-installation", i decided to install again.

Then i found this post and tried to move the mouse like written above - but no success.

Is it maybe better to get GUID working? Or is it ok to use MBR? Has it something to do with EFI? (Or maybe with the actual moon phase?)
And: is it ok to work with a system which was installed and worked after i rebooted after the freeze 1 minute before end of installation?
