Hey - had a look through my bios nad these were the only options i found that "could" have some relevance to the HDD....

Bios DMA Data Transfer (Enable/Disable)
Windows Vista Direct App Launch (enable/Disable)
HDD Translation mode (LBA-Assisted/Bit-Shift)

I tried a few variations of the 3 settings with a properaly burnt copy of Leo4All v3 with -v and -s parameters and still stopped at the same place......

Any further ideas?
What kexts should i try injecting and into what release (any new ways to inject kexts? the old way is a little long nad i probably screwed it up somewhere)

Anyone else got an idea or can help with this bit:
