DFI Bloodiron P35-T2RL (supposed to work OOTB)  
Core2Quad Q6600  
8800 GT 512mb  
2 IDE DVD-RW’s  
1 SATA Blueray/dvd rw  
1 SATA WD Caviar 300Gb HDD (for OS)

everything else is onboard or unplugged.

I got it installed last night, but when I tried booting into OS 10.5, it would get to a point and give me the “waiting for root device” error over and over again.

The release I used was iatkos 10.5.4 (for intel chipsets). I was just reading about PC EFI and don’t think it was ever installed (at least not that it told me). Do I need this? Or is it just a different way of installing it?

I gotta admit that I’m a super noob to apple file systems, so this is making me want to bash my skull in with a hammer

would I be better with Kalway or a vanilla leopard install DVD? (or Jas? Pretty sure the Tiger DVD is a Jas disc)
