“Okay man i wanna thank everyone for trying, but im gonna throw in the towel with mac, gonna just install Ubuntu and call it a day. my comp has been down too much trying to tinker with this. Unless theres some major break thru that happens, …”

“Im not sure what you mean with QE/CI i googled it but i don't know how to see if thats enabled/working ? is it some unnecesary term for graphics? if so then no it's not working Wifi isnt working outt he box but the drivers you gave me solve…”

“No audio selected -v = still waiting for device arch=i386 busratio=16 -v = last line says identified as RTL8168D/8111D Still waiting for root device busratio-16 -v = last line says **Device in slot : SLOT-1** then Still waiting for root dev…”

“You got it… I have yahoo if you're willing to use that. Reinstalling it now tho give me 25 mins to finish”

“wait=yes busratio=16 -v gets me here press a key and then kernel panic -f -v gets me to a still waiting for device :'( lmao, maybe it's just not meant to be?”

“do you mean busratio=16 wait=yes -v or simply wait=yes ? with busratio=16 wait =yes i get still waiting for root device with wait=yes i get this gear is still spinning tho.”

“with busratio=16 -v i get a diff hue of gray sreen with white text, last few lines are ACPI table not found DSDT.aml No DSDT found using 0 as uid value Using PCI-Root-UID value 0”

“ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse input stream Still waiting for root device. going on 7 minutes now. ======== rebooted with flags and it doesnt say still waiting for root device but it does have ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse …”

“Can you try a flash drive though? And do you have any way you can add files to it, like kexts, or run installers? That would require probably another OS X install somewhere. If not, I would install the other one, without the qe/ci, and we c…”

“okay ill give it a lot of time. and when i got to the screen nothing worked, the USB had the caps light on the mouse had the optical light on but wouldnt move.”

“OKay i get ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse input stream. ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse input stream. ApplePS2Controller: Timed out on mouse input stream. still waiting for root device. ps2 keyboard and USB mouse.:'(”

“USB keyboard and mouse If need be can i setup using a ps2 mouse and then down the line get my USB stuff working? Ill try what you suggested now tho.”

“YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I just tried the Harard SL cd with nawcom like before , booted with arch=i386 busratio=16 (JUST LIKE BEFORE) and it booted! But:'( it plays the intro that i never seen,and my SOUND even works, but it says my …”

“Tried to install with Hazard 10.6.6 with Nawcomm and it doesnt work Tried nawcom with 10.6.2 it wont boot at all even without it. I get a "double kernel panic" when i select IDE mode on port 4-5 in BIOS”

“Buying a mac is out of the question, they're too expensive. Tried restoring a retail DMG using the disk utility and even that didnt work. I tried at least...thanks for everyone tryin to help..”

“Well that was short lived. Trying to install it with my port 4-5 in IDE reulsts in a "double panic" Im gonna try the retail disc, if that doesnt work im giving up on mac =\”

“sigh. Just tried booting with the nawcomm CD. Heres the thing, i can boot from a CD with all my ports set to SATA in my BIOS with no problem, when i install a OS it won't let me, but if i change it to IDE i can boot into the CD So, i instal…”

“How do you boot with the nawcomm CD When it usually starts up i have the option to swap out the CD with leopard and a few other things that i never tried. Do i use boot flags?”

“Heres what im doing. I burned the Hazard 10.6.6 DVD , when i put it in no matter what flags i boot with nothing will get it to the installations screen. I put in the nawcomm CD and it gets my to the installation, has stuff preselected too (…”

“Gonna try this again tonight just as soon as my files are done backing up.”

“Well i've been at this a good 7 hours straight trying to figure out how to make a USB bootable with Hazard… *shrugs* bout ready to throw in the towel on mac.”

“This is a wonderful time to be out of blank DVDs..just AMAZING timing..like only me. Is there any way to install this from a USB, i downloaded Hazards DVD and am ready to try it...but...no blanks! EDIT: found a guide, gonna try and restore …”

“I'll try hazards. Had a problem with my external that has a lot of data that i need on it, so all my attention was on that sorry guys. Will be sorted shortly.”

“thanks for the tip, will try it once i get it working again...i did something wrong and now im hving issues lol EDIT: man this is pissing me off. My 4th time today installing, i DON"T know what i enabled/disabled at first to get it booting …”

“No it boots just fine. I had to put my CD drive in the correct sata plug tho, for some reason it only works on port 4 and 5, and theres a option in my BIOS that says port 4/5 IDE or as SATA type, CD drive only works as IDE mode. Anyway back…”

“Yes i could actually get in but i had to use some flags to boot, thats why i asked would i have to type that every time, but you answered it perfectly. Issues i had was wifi and itunes crashing with no sounds, hopefully the drivers you post…”

“Ive always picked the ACHI mode thing. (Even went thru the trouble of switching my windows 7 to aci since it wouldnt boot at first) But i'll try and install it again within the next two hours. Gonna try the links you showed me with the wifi…”

“lol man I have no clue. I only picked that AHCI because it looked like something i need lol Now i wish i had gotten a Intel CPU, because all the tutorials and support threads seem to be about those. And the guy i got iAtkos has it running o…”

“Hm. Sometime if you have that back in, can you tell me the description for ahci sata? I'm trying to figure out which to use. And do you know your chipset type? And let me know if you need more help. Said something like turns on ACHI from bi…”
