well I am new here, but not exactly new to osx86....
I have been successful in installing mac os x on my laptop, a toshiba, its running kalyway 10.5.2 with a few minor adjustments...

Now, I cant seem to find any support for my desktop Hp Pavilion a6530f...
I was hoping on putting a retail version on, but i dont have a single clue as to if its compatible, because i can not find a single "retail compatible" thread, board, or simply forum. Anyhow, I would now prefer to get mac up and running again..

Yeah, i said again, as it would seem, i installed Ideneb 10.5.5 about a month ago, give or take a few weeks....Now get this, i try to re-install os x, because it had vista on it, with the same DVD i used before....Partition, select amd patch and install....restart and i get either an infinite reboot, or this "stop sign" ok, so i scrounge around for an answer, even try other distro's like leo4all, kalyway, etc. etc. even IPC 10.5.6 wont work....

I read around tried a few solutions and no luck, bummer eh? well maybe not, i may have some sort of luck if i was given appropriate help or direction, mind helping me?

If so here is my hardware (in short)
A full list of my machines specs can be found here- http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...roduct=3740336


Hp desktop:
Phenom-8450 (T) 2.1 GHz (95W) 3 cores
GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 nvidia graphics
Asus motherboard:M2N68-LA aka Narra3-GL8E
4 gigs of ram DDR2 SDRAM...
HD: 640 GB SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec) 7200 rpm
16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA drive


built in sound, graphics....

All in the same mobo nothing replaced/touched....

Now i did add a few things -an old atheros wireless card, that is confirmed to work on a 32bit vista, with TrendNet drivers....and an even older 12 Gb ATA maxtor (i believe) HD which is holding vista.

When in installing anything this is my setup:
12 GB Maxtor HD is unplugged fully.
Insert burned DVD-rw or dvd-R I tried both disks, both failed...
Turn pc on hold Esc, load boot menu, select cd/dvd wait....
let osx load, and install with a bare AMD patch and xnu kernel...or i have tried without anything and also once without the kernel.

Nothing works...well it appears to install, then an annoying sign comes up....

Using -v the still waiting for root device is showing up.....

With this same dvd as i used last time i am getting this sign and root device error...

I have tried mostly everything kalyway,ideneb,iatkos,IPC, etc.....and all either never load (just restarts) or fails.....

Any help would be most appreciated, as i have but alas no luck....

Thanks and sorry for the long post....
