hdd not found

[gnou]

hi dudes

i m running an A64*2 3800+ proc and wanted to install this wonderfull os that is mac osX but here are my problems:

I have 3 hdd, 2 ide, one sata, i made a partition through PM on one ide.

i followed instructions displayed in this page http://www.nedprod.com/Niall_stuff/MacOS%20X/index.html

and when i want to check if there s any prob with booting on rescue mode and typing fdisk/dev/hda with linux it simply says that it can't open the folder...

Besides I tried to skip this step booting on mac os installer. It worked pretty well until nothing was detected in this partition selector.

 

any advice ? Thanx in advance

What type of HDD - ATA or SATA? What chipset brand?

What type of patrition: primary or logical?

Which version of OSx86?

I create an unformated partition on an ATA drive

Im running a DFI lanparty ultra D (Nforce 4)

it is a primary, as asked and this is the last version of osX (10.4.6 i386)

oK it was a mistake.. i found out what was wrong and i could install mac os, but i face a new problem now :

it simply doesn't boot displaying a little panel on the loading screen. My proc should be compatible with SSE3 but i tried the tips in the step 11, but nothing happened.

ant ideas ?

What was the problem? I'm running the exact same DFI board as you (although with a seagate 300gb SATA2 drive). I can't get the hd to show up during instal process. Did you use an AF partition, or what?

Thanks...
