Supersonic Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I have had Leopard installed for three days on my iPod now. Everytime I go to boot, I get the blue screen of death. Safe Mode does not do anything. Any tips before I do a fresh install? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoM Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I've had the same problem but just recently it fixed for whatever reasone after an install. Do these things to ensure that you might get a working copy. 1 - Write Zero's to your iPod using Disk Utility 2 - Partition using the Intel Map "in options." 3 - After all your formating is done, get info on the volume you will be installing Leopard on and disable "ignore permissions." This f***s OSX up bad. 4 - When you install make sure you select Airport as your network, even if you use E-Net, because for some reason it fcked up otherwise. 5 - When you get logged in for the first time, diable auto-login. Tell me if you experience more problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazuran Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I can confirm what GoM said about the installation procedure and selecting ethernet. I did a full reinstall since my ethernet wasn't working, and with Airport selected, there are no problems. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoir Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 mingistech-this wont install on any G3, according to the 'before you install' info. mvv- try this with the ipod- In disk utilities, give it 2 partitons. 'Restore' the dmg to 1. Then start the install process from the first partition. It will act as a 'dvd install disc'. When it re-starts, choose the partition #2 to install to. Install as normal. This worked great for me with a firewire drive. Using it now. The bonus is having the 'install' disc right there, ready to access the optional installs like Xcode, if needed. I can also unplug it and see how it does on my G4 imac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
