Bumppo Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I burned the ToH DVD using an actual Mac, and it appeared to go well. However, when I insert it into my laptop, it goes through the process of loading drivers, and then comes to some sort of Linux-looking screen and hangs indefinitely. There's some sort of message involving MAC framework, and then it just stops. Any idea what's happening? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etx Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I just installed it (RC2) burnt on my hackntosh and I'm running it right now. Could be a hardware issue. I cannot get CI or QE to work tho. :censored2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumppo Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yeah, maybe that's it. Oh well, I'll try with the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junjunkie Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi, I tried at least 10 times before I got it installed. It looks that every time the DVD's system loads, it loads someting different. Well, very strange, but it works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 make sure you burned the disc on the slowest speed possible (1x) to prevent small burning errors. I think that can cause that problem sometimes. also always list your detailed system specs for the computer you're trying to install onto (especially if the processor is SSE2 or SSE3) otherwise people might look at the thread and move on without replying because they don't want to wait for you to post the relevant info...goodluck!

Bumppo Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks for the replies. It's SSE2, I'm not sure of the exact processor but I ran the tool and it was SSE2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theakseffect Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Do you have Realtek 8139 network card? I'm having the same issue and I actually do have a Realtek 8139 integrated network 'card'. Why, is that causing the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlyX Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hey out there... @theakseffekt: yeees, this is a problem. Had the same problemt: Installer's crashing before starting the installer... I just disabled my network card in the BIOS an it worked perfect... BUT: I can't get network working afterwards. I tried it several times... Once it worked. But I had to reinstall Leo again and I didn't get it to work... Don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakseffect Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Wow, really, thnx I'll give it try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlyX Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yep... But don't smile too early... as said: somehow it won't really work if you activate it again later and if you want to configure ethernet, Leo freezes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakseffect Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The good news is I finally booted into the dvd successfully . Unfortunately I get a black screen with an underscore (_) after leo reboots after installing . I'll try installing it now using my IDE dvd drive and my OSX hdd on primary boot device *fingers crossed*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakseffect Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 bump [edit] After: not getting in the leopard install menu (dvd: stuck @ kernel panic (mdnsresponder/coreraid/com_apple_rtl8139)) getting it installed, but not to boot in2 Leopard (from my hdd: stuck at black screen with blinking underscore) getting it installed, but not getting passed the grey screen with the apple logo (another hang), I finally got Leopard installed . It obviously took me a while to get there. First I had to reinstall Tiger on to 1 partition and then I had to install Leopard to another (after disabling my onboard LAN in my BIOS settings & after which booting in2 Tiger somehow no longer worked & -having my onboard LAN enabled to soon to boot successfully in2 Leopard, meaning I had to disable it and boot again). Now I have to get my internet & sound working *fingers crossed, again*. What I'm trying to say with this is to my fellow osx86 fanatics trying to get Leopard OSX86 installed unsuccessfully: keep trying as soon as you find the smallest difference in successfull install methods on here (or other places on the internet). That and good luck! [/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asapreta Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Here it only works if I enter -LEGACY as a Kernel Flag. And also needed to do the post patch installation to have it boot on my RiG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGHammer Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 ToH > full working but needed Darwin Bootloader instalation on my comp. You can use the Kalyway Boot Patcher for Leopard to fix the no-boot issue in ToH (either pre-install or post-install). I keep this DVD (burned the ISO to DVD) handy because in addition to DU and the patch, it includes iDefrag (similar to SpeedDisk or Diskeeper, but for HFS+ volumes), and works in Hacintoshes as well as real Macs. Now I just need to get resolution-switching fixed (I have QE/CI working; however, resolution-switching is busted) for my X6150PRO AGP-based Hackintosh.
