hay Guys,
I'm trying to install Leopard with 10.6.3 retail disc on my P55-UD3.
When I try to boot with iBoot ATI and insert the retail disc the apple screen is coming, but after a few seconds a "lock" or something like that.. I have everything on AHCI and set my SATA dvd drive as first boot device? Please help me..
 
hm, well i forgot to set HPET Mode to 64-bit. Now there is just the apple logo and the loading icon but nothing is happening since about 15 minutes..

please help me!...
 
Please try and read a couple of guides.
Try booting with -v too see the kernel messages and then figure out where, and why, it is stopping.
But read some guides for setups like yours first.
 
thank you for your messege.
Do you know a good guide, which I could try?
I'm installing windows 7 atm. I will try it with -v after that.
 
after this, nothing happens, what now?? -please help-

I had similar stuff happen when the first GA-UD3R boards came out. I turned off all my peripherals, Ethernet/Audio/eSATA/USB3. Make sure your DVD is on SATA-0 to boot from. I could only use one stick of RAM and triple channel wouldn't even run in MEMTest86.

Once you get iBooted and install SL 10.6.x restart and enable the necessary Peripherals.
 
I have the same mainboard, but a different cpu and graphic chard.

I used this boot cd: iBoot-ati-5xxx-3

you also have to use the F11 DSDT and remove NullCPUPowerManagement. (after installation)
 
well which one is Sata-0?
Well, I will now try again with 2gig ram on second port and dvd drive on sata 0 and hard drive on sata 1.
see you soon and thank you guys!
 
okay, got it
now let's hope..

EDIT:
GUYS IM IN THE INSTALLATION!! Thank you!!
Will write my status soon

this are the last lines:

calling channelStart() for channel 0
PCMDIR_PLAY: Stream setup format=10000010 speed=48000
PCMDIR_PLAY: Stream setup nid=2: format=0x0011, digFormat=0x0001
VoodooHDAEngine[0x4303d00]::performAudioEngineStop
calling channelStop() for channel 0
VoodooHDADevice[0x42f5400]::performPowerStateChange(2, 1)
When I press enter, this is coming again.
PLEASE help me..
