    its a laptop so i dont have many (if any) options for the graphics card
    and when i try booting into any installer the apple grey screen pops up
    and the computer restarts.... without any panic notice
    i got one installer to work ihazard but i had to put in
    cpus=4 busratio=19 =arch=i386
    installer worked fine but on the restart it gets the the loading screen
    and just stays there (grey apple and spinning wheel)
    and i left it there for hrs
