    You wont be able to run Leopard (10.5.X) on this machine....

    You need at least Snow Leopard (10.6.5) to run OS X on this machine...

    Try a Retail install following this guide if your MOBO is Gigabyte > olarila.com • Exibir tópico - Snow Leopard on Gigabyte Mobos

    Or this if Asus MOBOS / Notebook / Other MOBOS > olarila.com • Exibir tópico - Snow Leopard on Asus Mobos/Notebooks

    And if you want a Distro Install, try Hazard 10.6.6i...

    I tried it with hazard 10.6.6i. I still get the same 'still waiting for root'. Also I have a bios with no AHCI option.

    If you have Windows installed in the same machine that you want to install OS X, run this app (Java is needed) take a Screen Shot
    or picture of the output window, place at any image host and paste the link here > elconiglio_SystemInfoWin.zip

    With this machine, i think is better if you made a Retail install using this CDBoot > Nawcom OSX ModCD - Downloads - Kexts.com

    And following this guide > olarila.com • Exibir tópico - Snow Leopard on Asus Mobos/Notebooks
