AMD X2 7750 Phenom

Hi

New to hackint0sh, been using the iDeneb v1.3 dvd

My system is as follows:

4gig ram

either the first 10gig partition of a 40gig IDE
or at the end of a 500g SATA II
M/B is a MSI MS-7501 v1 K9A2VM

I have got through to the language selection about 3 times using iDeneb v1.3, oned got to the next screen vua keyboard(?) but the keyboard and mouse seem to not be going

applePS2Controller: Time out on mouse input stream

I normaly get "Still waiting for root device"

I am DLing the Lawless dvd as that looked to be suited to the Phenom X2,X3 and X4 but I have just seen this thread http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/f181/70971.htm, and looks to be the same problem as I have, I will try and find a iPC iso to try.

Any other thoughts?

I dont expect to get the sis900 by the look of things

Ok, I seem to have got iPC installed but can't boot the partition.
from opensuse the partition installed on looks like this:

Code:

/dev/sdb5 28828608 6804632 22023976 24% /mnt

Code:

so it looks like it is installed, just not bootable.

The dvd no longer boots all the way to the install screen, hangs after about 30seconds (possibly at waiting for root device - cant tell as I cant seem to get to the boot options via F8)

I got past the no keyboard/mouse in the install by using a PS2 KB/mouse for the boot and a USB KB/mouse for the install.

any hints on how to get it to boot? I think the boot error was "boot0: error" I will have to go back and reboot to see.

Did you check the FAQ? theres a solution for it, btw did you installed a patched kernel like voodoo or speedstep?

I have now, I should know better as I give support on another forum...

I have reinstalled iPC on the second partition on an IDE drive but cant boot as I get the "still waiting for root device".

The HDD is the master, DVD is slave and I have tried with jumpers set for C/S and master/slave. I have tried disabling SATA and setting to IDE/RAID etc to no avail.

I did read a comment on a forum post about if you can boot the dvd and install but get the "still waiting for root device" on a HDD boot to try and copy the .kext from the DVD to installed disk. Where on the DVD would I find the .kexts?
