I've checked the HCL and the processor and the motherboard should work.
Situation:
I've tried installing OSX with iDeneb's newest release (v1.3 10.5.5) and iATKOS v4a to no avail. I'm currently downloading Leo4All v4 to see if it's a distribution problem. I believe it may also be a matter of installing the right patches..
Questions: - Is there something wrong with my hardware? Drivers? Distribution/Release?
- How can I copy the error log that I get from the iDeneb install?
Thanks so much for reading, and thank you, moderators, for this community! |
What is the problem exactly? you can't boot the install DVD or you can't install to the HD? or you can't boot the hard drive after install?
Is your DVD drive an IDE or SATA drive?
I see the board has the nForce4 chipset so all that needs to be done to make SATA drives work is to make sure the AppleNForceATA.kext file is loaded at boot (for both the installer and the system). If you are having no problem booting and installing then make sure you select this option (I prefer the "nforce Test" option myself).
as for the error log... how is it displayed... in verbose mode while starting up? or in the console on the DVD? or in a text file?
if all else fails, take a small resolution (but not pixellated) picture of it and post it.

This part makes me think you are able to either boot into the DVD but not install, OR you have the ability to edit the .iso or disc image file. Please clarify. Thanks.
