Ok, I discovered that the installer app on iPC 10.5.6, can run in OSX and install the new OSX setup to an external drive. So I used iPC, and installed OSX to my external HDD so I could just take it upstairs, plug it into my media computer and set it as the boot drive. I was able to get thru install, apply all the fixes, select the voodoo kernel etc etc.

All this worked fine, until I tried to reboot the system, I started with -x -v and -f just to be safe, and STILL I get stuck on this f*#king "waiting for boot volume with UUID...."

Could this be a BIOS thing? Should I just give it up for now and wait for a future release? This project is taking years off my life lol...im so pissed off.

peace,
