Need some help...

Lawless PPC seems to be the latest install that would work for me (10.5.4) on my ASUS M2A-VM HDMI.

All the other distros are "Still Waiting for root Device" Idunno how long they gonna wait.

For fun I got an M2N-SLI iPC 10.5.6 installs fine but Voodoo 9.5 panics randomly even just before the finder loads and the system runs ever so slowly after the install.

Great install on the M2A with Lawless but I can't extract large packages it seems, it freezes near the end. Zeph's AMD Patcher suffers the same fate, seems as it's going fine then freezes near the end. So no ASU.

I downloaded the combo update (10.5.6) but can't extract or install or do anything.

I also suffer from the install freezing just near the end of the install with the 8GB RAM.
I removed two of the modules to install.

Curiously it only freezes with the 8GB if I Erase/Reformat before the install. If I leave the drive intact the install completes successfully and works well (what the heck is that)?

Another question - since I am running a Phenom x4 do I *HAVE* to use the Voodoo Kernel? It seems to be very unstable for me and the Universal Kernel Works well. Can anyone help with the freezing whilst trying to extract packages?

Edit: Oh yeah, one more does -v do anything beside verbose mode? It seems that if I try to boot (dvd or installation) without -v I get panic or error "You need to restart blah blah", but -v boots great every time.

I hope someone will help to get this running perfectly

As I type I am installing on the M2N whilst running the M2A nicely only without Hardware Graphics tho.
