To use kernel vanilla on ideneb, dont select any kernel on the list, try and good luck

Hi!

thx for replying

jus tried that, still the same thing :/

ive changed the NVinject to NvKush (now it picks up my 9800GX2)

i tried another way, which boots it up, using the BOOT-132 loader it gets upto "set ur password" and crashes :/

-a.

Did you try another distro? like leo4all or kalyway

Hey

i did try Boot-132 with retail dvd, that dint work

iv manged boot up iDeneb using the boot-132 loader, buts its unstable,

its Recognised

CPU
Ram
GFX
Ethernet (internet works)
CD Works

No Audio
HD come up as orange with-out usb sign, not grey :?

but i try to set screen rez in System preference it crashed.
playing around with itune crashed.

what is ACHI?

Here: ACHI info

If you have SATA ACHI Support in your mobo, try set your SATA to AHCI and Install again

Hey

thx for the help... iv give'n up on iDeneb gonna try Kalaway next.

-a.

Dont know if this will help you but i have installed ideneb 1.4 and i found that after install the boot parition is not active. i checked this by booting into my vists install. and going to disk manager if yours is the same you can active it useing diskpart like this if you dont already know how to use it.

check disk no where you installed leopard

Start diskpart (START / RUN / DISKPART )
TYPE ( Select disk ? Enter ) where ? is disk no
TYPE ( Select partition ? ) if you installed leopard to clean disk ? will be 1.
TYPE Active should say that disk ? marked active
TYPE EXIT

Try and boot into leopard with the install disk in and boot from your rom . when you get start up options hit f8 you will get a prompt saying boot type rd=disk?sX where ? is the disk leopard is installed to and x is the partiton on the disk

hope this will get you up and running as it did me( then your real troubles begin

installed ideneb v1.3 10.5.5 successfully(i used all defaults, changed nothing) but when it restarts it says "hold the power button or press restart button"

please help me....
