Hey guys, thanks for the reply.. I've tried the iDeneb distro with no luck at all (wouldn't even boot into installation). also, how would i go about installing kexts after its installed? Cause like i mentioned, if i choose just to install the kernal and chipset drivers, i can get it to load without any problems.

I have USB Keyboard and mouse, (I also have PS/2 set that i have tried) and have tried changing ports and everything else. And I believe i am in legacy mode because i was able to use them with the successful install i had with the bare minimums.

Thanks for all your help!!
