Ashok0 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 If you have this problem, install Tiger first, make sure you BOOT INTO IT ONE TIME and create a User Profile. Then reboot and install Leopard on top of Tiger without performing and Erase. When Leo boots it will use the Tiger profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kykc Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 No other way to solve this problem?.. Will be nice to have "clean" Leo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kykc Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 For myself I've found alernate way. My serial\paralel ports are always disabled in BIOS, because I've never used them. And then I've enabled them Leo goes to create user and so on. Also I've seen somewhere on this forum that same problem may be if you have bluetooth, IrDA disabled. So try o enable all of your built-in hardware.. Also I think that maybe you can try to create user in single user mode (but I don't know how) or try to boot in safe mode.

airrage Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I had the same issue installing on a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop. For me, the problem must have been rooted in an issue with my GeForce 7300LE or onboard Intel 10/100 VE LAN, because after removing the GeForce from the box (using onboard Intel GMA X3100 for install), disabling on-board ethernet and throwing in a generic 3com NIC, was able to get past 'Do You Already Own a Mac' screen without issue. Put the GeForce back in after initial setup and runs fine now with NVinject for Leopard. If I end up having to re-install, I'll try narrowing it down to one or the other and post my findings here.

bml104 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I took my HD and slaved it to another mac. I then copied my /User/Useraccount to the new mac HD. Booted up right into my profile. I created a new profile before i copied it. The transfer was like 15MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patoko Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 turn off the built-in network card, then your done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dense Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Problem is totally related to the network card drivers. Don't believe me? Go read the logs in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter. You'll see a log there, scan thru it looking for the thread that crashed. Now look at the text in the square brackets at the end (read from the bottom up). It'll all be talking about wanting network access. While you can get passed the problem doing a lot of tricks, you will still not having a working network card. Fix the root cause of the problem and then you will get passed this stage. This is a very common problem with systems using a Marvell Yukon network card.

Chaos Storm Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 You can also do a Time Machine backup using another Mac or Hackintosh and transfer an account that way. I've done this a few times and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apoc112 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Dell Inspiron 530 user here, and simply unplugging my network cable did the trick. I have on-board LAN, but did not bother turning it off from BIOS. edit: after several attempts to get my on-board LAN working, i went for a fresh installation. using the exact same options during installation, i'm back at the loop, but this time, leaving the ethernet cable unplugged and/or disabiling the on-board LAN from the BIOS hasn't done the trick. seems as though there are special circumstances or timing that allow the tricks to work...
