Its not a great solution but it worked for me. It happened on my USB Drive Leopard installation (maybe this helps) But i have a problem, Leopard cannot detect the airport hardware nor the sound hardware on my macbook

Never actually boots into Lepard. Ive tried a few times, letting it sit there for a while as well as holding Shift while booting. I cant get past the start up screen. This is getting annoying, nothing I try works.

I can't get it to boot on mine, either, without safe mode. I thought maybe Apple dropped support for my G4 with Leopard, but I guess not.

I was seriously looking for another Mac to replace my G4 until I saw your post. Then I just decided to get a PC Laptop and wait for a better Mac to come out later (linux is a fine replacement for OS X if you really need it to be).

I'm guessing there's some flaw with the Leopard install DVD.

I have the same issue as Jaffa had.
Formatted my external hard drive Mac OS Extended (journaled) but it won't let me install it because it says that I can't boot from it.
Jaffa or anyone else, do you know what the problem can be?

Has anyone managed to solve this issue? I have the same problem here...

My second partition is formatted Mac OS X Extended (journaled)

Apple has compressed the packages using "xar" and created "flat" packages. The DVD seems to be the easiest way now (besides iPod installation that is).

Only problem is that with the release of 9a321, that method no longer works. See my above post for why.
