“You may be on to something. I'm new at this so I don't recall which bootloader I selected. Given my specs which bootloader would you recommend? the EFIv9 is (supposedly) the new chameleon but I haven't verified this myself. I think the old …”

“boot.efi is the file used by real macs to boot to that volume. It sounds like the bootloader you selected didn't install correctly. Either this or you selected the wrong one. How did you customize?”

“sounds like a kernel drop. have you checked the proper customizing options? (you can still use voodoo with pentium D) Also, check the BIOS out for better AHCI support, etc.”
