no problem you're welcome
hmm thats really strange...
it sounds like there must be a sata problem or something...
bcs of you are not able to boot via -s or everything else
is it possible to borrow an old IDE hardisk to check that out?
if i had and SATA hardisk i would check it out by myself... but i have none
of course you can try to update your bios but i think it wont fix that kind of problem you have... cause of Asrock only made CPU specific updates in the new bios revision!
sorry but i cant help you for now, maybe other users have an specific workaround for this?
but u see it runs with my configuration the only difference between mine and yours is the SATA drive RAM CPU and maybe your videocard
not so far away from a working OSX :P
