Thank you.
It's 3 AM here. I need some rest
I love Spanish and would love to learn, but just too busy for now, maybe later

Yes, keep trying. You will get it soon.
Cheers,

I would check those SATA connectors in your motherboard again (look at your board manual), and try to change all SATA connectors to number 1,2 and 3.
And then you can retry settings to AHCI.

Let me know.

Good luck.

I do not understand about slots and connectors. I just cannot handle hardware!

but well, ok, I switched something (maybe a connector) on the motherboard.
and then, changed the settings to AHCI. tried to boot with the iDeneb DVD...

there is NO way to boot from the DVD in AHCI (again)...
as I am stubborn, changet it to IDE...
IT BOOTED!!!

from the DVD and recognised the HDD (the 320GB - as switched)
I selected the 100GB partition and I kept on with the installation



and it finished!!!



but then...





in fact, if I change back to IDE instead of AHCI the bootloader lets me boot in windooze XP (as now)
I dunno, I will try again but, ¿can anyone tell me what is wrong?
¿can anyone help me?

¿would it be something from the customization process?

many thanks in advance

Hi there,
Good job
At least it recognized your hard drive and finish the installation.
Keep your BIOS at whatever setting to make it through first.

That KP could be from your selections of customization.

AMD can not run vanilla kernel, so select 9.8 Voodoo kernel to try, and only one kernel at a time, as well as one item per group.

Boot with -x -v cpus=4 (and/or busratio=20) to see if you get any further.

If not then post your custom selections to see if anything is missing.

Good luck.

and I have formatted my 1st hard drive assigning a fat 32 100Gb space for this OS.

OK, here we go again, then.

I am sure to have selected Vodoo as Kernel.
and tried with the wireless card.

just found this:

PHP Code:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=206008&view=findpost&p=1469736

Voodoo Kernal
AppleATIATA
Seatlbelt Fix
IOUSBFamilySlice
AppleHDAudio
NVInject 


I do not want to make crossposting, I just want to make it work.

anyway, should I try this? (without the NVInject) or lesser settings?

thanks for being there

Hi there,

That list looks very good.
Unless you know the video and wireless kexts for sure then leave them out for now to prevent conflict and KP as the main objective is to get into OSX with the least trouble. The minimal approach is sometimes the best one.

Once in there, you can always install kext/driver for the rest of the hardware, one by one.

Good luck.
Edit : addtl selections:
OpenHaltRestart, voodoousbehci.kext
DSDT and don't forget to try boot options upon reboot.

ouch!, KP again...

I had set up:

PHP Code:

Kernel: Vodoo
AppleAtiata
IOUSB Family(something) 


so, I tried again without the video or wireless drivers.


I don't know...
I guess I will try again with only the Vodoo Kernel

I did not quite understood this::

where is OpenHaltRestart?
where is voodoousbehci.kext
where is DSDT?
and finally, how do I try boot options upon reboot?
how do I input them? (shortcut or something)

thanks again

Those are customization options in Ideneb 1.6, select them if they are there

When chameleon counts down, press any key, type boot options, then press enter.

-x -v busratio=20

If needed, add in cpus=4

Your busratio could be different and I don't have the exact number but just try those first to see.

thanks, I am now going to try with the boot options

hope it will work... if not, I will try installing again with new options

this is sad...
it does not detect the keyboard... it is a PS2 keyboard, can I solve it?
one of theese?

PHP Code:

voodoousbehci.kext
AppleATIATA 
Seatlbelt Fix 
IOUSBFamilySlice 


oh, and there was no countdown, so I just pressed F8 and typed in the boot options (htanks!)

we're sooo near now

Yes, very close.

There is a PS2 selection for keyboard and mouse. Should use VoodooPS2.
But for now, to go through that screen you can use USB keyboard/mouse and finish account login.

Good job
