Dont feel too bad, I can't get my other computer (this, the primary one) to boot ANY distro (Hey! We're going backwards! is the error).

I used the legacy fixes as *I BELIEVE* they have more IDs in them, supporting more types of hardware, specifically older hardware. I could be wrong and stand to be corrected by anyone who knows better.

I never used the SuperViaAta as I commented on a different forum that it never worked for my hardware. One step towards resolution would be to remove that, maybe?

As always, if you're able to get the DVD to boot, try with the most minimal options first. i.e. SL 10.6.0 (not patched to .1 or .2), amd options. If that works (it sucks, I know), then reinstall with a few more. Honestly, some kexts are just b*tches to get working properly on certain hardware.

Good luck, and feel free to come back and let me know how it's going.
