You generally want to choose the bare minimum of options when you install from these prepatched distros. You can than address each problem one by one from the comfort of OSX.

Try to look up your computer's specifications and post your motherboard model number and chipset. You can also place this information in your "Signature". It will then appear on every post you make. Please keep your signatures reasonably sized. We do not want to see full page specs. Edit your signature here: http://www.infinitemac.com/faq.php?f...atures_avatars

Get a sheet of paper and write down exactly the options you chose when installing and which boot-flags you used on startup. Every time you try something new write it down and also include the result. Once you make it completely into the OSX gui you should backup your install or at least your Extensions folder /System/Library/Extensions At this point each of your problems can be addressed one by one without a complete reinstall.
