You could try switching the SATA mode to legacy IDE or enabling AHCI if you have those options in your bios?

Alphaman - The power cord issue isn't a big deal... The computer froze and you needed to restart it so either way, it worked. The as the computer scrolls through verbose mode, do you notice that nForceATA recognizes the drives after their initial "restart"? if this is the case, then the second time you see the series of nForceATA "errors" is normal... it is hanging on something else being loaded.

How did Vonyx's Bios-change work out?

the reason I think it is the graphics is because when I first started dealing with Leopard and using the SATA fix ApplenForceATA.kext my system would hang for almost 2 minutes at the last nForceATA: found 0 units... and come to find out, my graphics weren't loading. So I stopped installing graphics fixes during the install and it worked...

Keep up the hard work with this... at least you will know your machine through and through after all this.

nfoav8or my video card is a intregrated nvidia geforce 6150 LE 128MB and I used to choose nvinject 128 because of my video card and my mobo chipset I chose nForceATA so should I shouldn't choose either?

you should chose the nForce ATA fix but not the NVinject... just for now... We can worry about getting proper graphics support later... (default graphics will let you get into the system just fine... you won't have CI/QE or any resolutions other than 1024x768)
