during the install everything goes well until about 2 minutes left when the dvd has to bless the system and mount the drive and make it bootable. it doesn't make the drive bootable or mount it. whats going on? im confused. I have tried installing with kernel 9.2 and 9.1 and 9.0. This was my setup:

ToH kernel 9.2.0, AC97 audio drivers, nforce 2/3/4/5 drivers, nvinject go, broadcom wireless, forcedeth lan, x11, efi v8 for mbr.

So after the install i just get "_" flashing which really is sucky. i installed with guid and got to the apple screen with the loading circle below it but thats as far as i got.

I think I've found the problem.
The script can write boot0 on the first sectors of the disk only if all partitions in the installation disk are unmounted.
I cannot test as I don't want to lost a dvd just for this little fix but if you want to test I can upload the file to rapidshare so that you will be able to test.

You must edit the ISO using Transmac.
Remove FixGUID.pkg which is located in "/System/Installation/Packages/Bootloader"
And replace with the one I uploaded.
