It worked !

But after alot of trouble...

Had to add the a SMBIOS thing.

And x 86 ACPI for my keayboard to work. Not needed if you have a USB keyboard I think.

I have a 9500GS NVidia card, but it wasn't in the available choices.

Also at first, after a successful install, it rebooted with the mDNSResponder problem.

The only way to make it work was to boot in safe mode.
Reboot with options (F8 when countdown starts)
root : -v -x
To boot in safe mode

It seems the computer tries to contact Apple? Well in safe
mode it tries but if it fails, it will continue.

Still need the graphic card to work now 9500GS anyone?

Thanks icchansan for a great (how to) tutorial.
