[SOLVED] Vista + Leopard, restarting woes.

Apologies if this is a noob-esque question, for see, I am a noob.

 

Now, I installed Kalyway's Leopard 10.5.2 on a partition on my HDD (format to the 'Extended (Journaled)' format), and patched up my Vista's bootloader with the DVD so I could use EasyBCD to set up my Dual-Booting needs.

 

So thats all hunky dorey... I google about, find the 'Chain0' method, and give it a spin. I end up with this setup (taken from EasyBCD)...

 

NOTE: I also have the chain0 file in the root of C:\

 

There are a total of 2 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader.
 Bootloader Timeout: 15 seconds.
 Default OS: Windows Vista

 Entry #1

 Name:  Windows Vista
 BCD ID:  {current}
 Drive:  C:\
 Bootloader Path:  \Windows\system32\winload.exe
 Windows Directory:  \Windows

 Entry #2

 Name:  Mac OS X Leopard
 BCD ID:  {d849e58c-60e1-11dd-8b3b-001731786a13}
 Drive:  C:\
 Bootloader Path:  \chain0
 Windows Directory:  \Windows

 

It Looks ok, so I reboot, to test out what'll happen.

 

I select the "Mac OS X Leopard" selection, and it pulls up what appears to be the darwin bootloader, it goes through about 10 lines of text, then my computer restarts itself.

 

I'm confused at this point. I try it again, and at the darwin bootloader I quickly hit F8, and it asks me which partition I want to boot from. I select the 'Leopard' partition. Same thing.... it restarts.

 

Any help?

I ended up doing a fresh installation. While reinstalling, I figured out I had selected 2 patches that weren't supposed to be used together, and I also selected a different kernel. So it's on of those two things (or both) that fixed my problem.... Now if I can only get sound, and network working.... :wacko:
