hi there,

I've got a lenovo think center intel core 2 duo desktop. The install went ok and I've installed multibeast userDSDT plus the update. This was an old work pc.

The machine will only boot into safe mode with the iboot disk.

If I do a -v I can see that its waiting for root device. I've checked the bios and I dont have the settings available from the install guide. In safemode I have no ethernet, usb or audio support.

When I try to boot I get the white screen with the grey apple and a circle with a cross through the middle.

I'm trying to diagnose the exact hardware issues. Is this a typical symptom?
 
just an update.

I can now boot up when using the iboot disk and booting the hard dive using -v verbose.
Once its boot up everything is working except the Ethernet. Its on board Ethernet. How do I find out what ktext I need to find to get the Ethernet running?

Re the boot issue. I've set the dvd in the sequence before the hard drive which seems to have helped and I no longer get the waiting for root device.

help much appreciated.

Cheers,
