Help Needed with Dell Inspiron E1505
 

I'm trying to get Mac OS X to run on my Dell Inspiron E1505. I tried installing Kalyway 10.5.2 on her and the installer runs beautifully but when I reboot and try to boot OS X, after the grey apple logo I just get a screen with black and white lines going down the front. Anyone have an idea on how to solve this or what other distro I should try? Here's my system specs:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83Ghz
Instructions MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T
Motherboard: Dell Inc. OXD720, Chipset: Intel i945PM
RAM: 2Gb DDR2 Dual Channel 266.0Mhz
Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
NIC: Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller
W-NIC: Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card
Sound: SigmaTel High Definition Audio

Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! :)

Have you tried to boot with -x ? And did u select any video drivers during the installation ? If so, boot with -s and remove them. I`d start with those two things.

Well I tried with -x and that cleared the line problem but now it keeps rebooting. Any thoughts for that?

ok, type -x -v and say when it does reboot.

It'll get to these lines:

BSD Root: disk0s1, Major 14, Minor 1
Unknown SIGFPE, code 1, subcode 0
Synching disks.....Killing all processes

continuing
done
MACH reboot

After that there's an Error line but it flashes so fast that I can't catch what it says before the computer reboots.

Hmm, ive found a whole, nice tutorial for you :

Your problem was meant there so there`s a solution aswell. But still, i think it would be faster and less painful to try newer distro like leo4all v4 or iPC 10.5.6.

Thanks for your help. I'll look into it. I'm dowloading iPC OS 10.5.6 now just incase it doesn't work. :)
