Which release to install? Have had previous problems!

Hi all,

I have a Laptop that i've been trying to get OSx86 on to but i cannot get it to work. I tried heaps of releases but allways got the same problem.

This thread was made on the original forum before the update and there are many details within it about the versions i tried etc.
http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/immedi...rnel-and-t435/
And some more information here:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=89282

The rundown:
Hardware:
HP Compaq 6715b laptop
AMD Turion64 X2 [2.2ghz] [supports SSE,SSE2, SSE3, MMX, 3DNOW and x86-64]
2GB DDR2 667 [5-5-5-15]
ATI X1250 graphics card
ATI RS690 Chipset / SB600 southbridge
SATA 250GB Samsung HDD
DVD-RAM burner
Other usual laptop hardware [card reader etc]

My BIOS is very limited, no RAID/ACPI options, overclocking or any thing other advance [unlike my quad core gaming system]

I have tried iAtkos, modded iAtkos, Zephroyth 10.5.2 - and modifyed version of it, kalaway and others - i realise that kalaway wouldn't work as it's intel based - but i thought i would try anyhow, and i always got the same error:

"immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components, use only one style"

Just wondering if there is a new release i should try - 10.5.5 out yet on the Hackintosh? as it's my download night tonight so i have a bit of downloads to waste.

Any suggestions welcome!

Well Leo4Allv3 had a great assortment of customizable drivers but it is 10.5.2. They are going to be making a new 10.5.5 soon (not the Server edition). iDeneb is another one... if you're looking for a recent 10.5.5 thats the way to go with driver support, but beware it has been customized from the beginning of the Installer so it doesn't have the native feel to it as much. Still works though. If you can wait a little longer, iPC is going to be debuting soon. That should have the newer kernels and everything.

Well i can download tonight or in a months time......

I tried inserting custom drivers but couldn't find th right ones - and the ones i did find didn't fix the problem......
So i should look for a 10.5.5 edition now?
What do you mean by "Non-native" feel?

I tried Leo4All also - that didn't work wither - i cannot get the disc to boot with any of the editions - let alone get to the installer

Bootloader starts then goes for about 4 seconds - then stops
If i don't have verbose on - the apple logo comes up - the spinning thing spins around maybe one then it keeps spinning but the HDD stops doing, disk spins down and just sits there.

EDIT: also - just added my system details to my SIG - and they are not appearing????

Bump - will not be able to download the disk till next month now - any other suggestions?
Is there any new releases suppost to come out in the next month?

when you are booting the install DVD up, use the boot flags "-f -x -v" as this will force the Extensions folder to be read, boot into safe mode (for the installer you need nothing more), and verbose mode so you can see what is going wrong.

when you are done customizing and installing follow some procedures on this page of the old wiki for some major help. This was the biggest help to me when I was first getting started.

I have tried with every single flag i could find on the web - i will try it again in ~30 minutes - but i would think it will be the same result.

As i said - i cannot even get to the installer - no matter what parameters i try
