help installing lawlessPPC 10.5.4 on phenom AMD
I'm pretty lost on how to install this so i really need some help.
i seem to get stuck at "waiting for root device" i never get into the install.
i have tried -v -f -x -s but i remain stuck at the same part.

I have a

AMD Phenom 64 8450 X3 2.10GB
3GB DDR RAM
SATA 500GB
GEFORCE 9600GSO 768MB
DVD-RW (bio not telling me if it's master or slave it is the only disk drive i have)

i have vista currently installed but i want to install leopard on another partition which i named leopard (right now is a logical drive, i'm not sure how to switch to primary)

anyway i'm not sure what i'm actually suppose to do, i was really hoping that popping the cd would of been enough =P

thank you for the help.

still waiting for root device means a problem with the ide or sata usually this is because there is no driver for your chipset on the dvd or possibly a swap of the master slave config of hd and dvd around if on ide

you need to boot in safe mode and then install the correct drivers for your graphics card. I can confirm the drivers on that disk work. Just check my sig. Failing that just have a look at netkas site
