I'm posting for a friend, he only has one computer and he is on the phone with me trying to get his setup going.

He has just install Mac OS X through the Leo4all4.1 method.

-AMD Athlon X2
-SATA hard drive
-IDE DVD drive
-ATI 2600HD PCIe.
-a33g motherboard from pcchips

I apologise if this isn't sufficient info, I can get more from him if needed to help any further.

His problem is when Mac OS X begins to bootup it shows the regular gray screen with an Apple and shows that it's loading. But there is an additional symbol of a cancel sign. A circle with a slash going through it and no matter how long the wait, it still doesn't boot.

Here is what it looks like


Sometimes it doesn't even go that far and it would just show the Apple and the gray screen frozen and the cancel sign doesn't show up.

We have attempted changing the BIOS settings to defaults and going further modifying the settings as recommended on an insanelymac post. Didn't help at all.

PS: I am reading the forums now to see if there is any previous posts on this issue.
