I will start off with my computer specs. Its a upgraded acer Travelmate 2450 notebook.

CPU: Intel Core Duo T2450
RAM: 1.5gb DDR2
Chipset/video card: ATI Xpress 200m
Hard Drive: Hitachi 60GB 5400rpm Ultra-ATA/100
DVD Drive: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K16RS ATA Device
External DVD Drive: LG External Super Multi DVD Rewriter



I have tried many DVD versions of Leopard from Leo4all to Kallyway 10.5.2. When i try to install it off the DVD drive I get a "still waiting for root divice" When I try to install it off an external DVD drive it boots into the install screen but no hard drive is recognized. I really need OSX for application purposes but I dont have enough money to buy a mac right now. If there is anyone who can help me solve my problem I would be greatly apreciated. Thanks for the Help!!!!


P.S. Someone mentioned that I might be lacking a proper kext for my sata chipset.
