you do not have the drivers on for your chipset or there were not installed properly

Sounds like your chipset isn't configured... I agree with Lawless. What kind of chipset are you running? nforce? Is your hard drive connected via SATA? When you installed, did you choose the correct SATA controller?
I would recommend rebooting into your install DVD and checking out these Customizations first... after that you'll have to rely on the terminal in your install DVD. The file I've attached is MeDevil's kext to help get SATA drives to respond. To manipulate this you need to unzip this file and place it on a flash disk with a known name (I will use "flash" in this instance for the name of the flash drive and "Leopard" for the name of the drive you've installed to) and do the following in Terminal: <b>cp -Rf /Volumes/flash/AppleNForceATA.kext /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/</b> <b>chmod -R 755 /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/ && chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/</b> <b>rm -rf /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions.mkext</b> (each of these is all on one line with a space separating the ones that were split) Then reboot your drive and try it out.

No I'm not positive, but I have searched through InsanelyMac.com and a few other Hack forums (as well as a Google search for your chipset) and have found nothing that has worked so far. (although I cannot understand Italian so that might not be the case either)
The hangup with your installation has nothing to do with your CPU properties... it simply doesn't have the correct kext installed (or installed correctly) for your system to realize it has ownership capabilities to the root drive. I am using Leo4Allv3 because of its custom install abilities. This might be the easiest version for you as well because it will allow you to install to a GUI partitioned Hard Drive and it will set all the proper boot permissions itself as well as including a few more chipset drivers. 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
