greggdaly Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 hmm, new issue installing OSX Ok, so I have gotten theu the OSx install process, but now when I boot I get the blinking cursor in the upper left corner. I have followed Djx18 instructions on making the partition active, but still not working. My disk name is disk0s1, do I need to use rdisk0s1? I was thinking about going back and using the Darwin bootloader instead of the EFI bootloader. However, I have a dual core cpu, and I wanted to know if going with the Darwin bootloader will that affect performance? Also, if I use the cpu=1 to install, will I still have full use of the dual cores after install, or after installing the patch will that get fixed? Thanks for the help Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VasH Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Ok, the r2 iso i've downloaded works better. At least I've made the boot. and here comes new problems: -my keyboard doesn't work (I can't write a name for the partition I had to create, however I don't think this is a major problem). -The installation has stopped after few seconds (I have tried only once.... I had to work now ) [*] For 8800 Series Users: Select the AMD/nForce fix driver I've not this option in the "install options". where is it?

VasH Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm givin' up, after several tries.... With -v cpus=1 I get still waiting for root..... With only -v I reach the install costumization, but the installation freeze few seconds after it starts. The DVD simply stops, and after 1-2 min. even the mouse freeze. If someone has advice or ideas, thanks in advance.... or maybe I have to wait for 10.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggdaly Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 do you have a SATA DVD drive? I had the same problem ("waiting for root") when I used a SATA drive to install. I switched to a IDE and it installed fine. However, Im still having the blinking cursor problem after the installation. -Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talrico Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It seems no matter which distribution I use I can't get past the loading screen (the grey apple with the spinning lines below it). While the lines continue to spin a circle with a line through it appears. I have this motherboard and have done the steps up to booting from the DVD but now I'm obviously stuck. Anyone know how to solve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surenix Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I am trying to install Leopard on my PC but I can't seem to get it pass the first stage. I have an ASUS P5N32-E SLi 120 IDE Hard Drive IDE DVD rom 2gb Ram Gefoce 7600 Everytime I boot with the installation cd I just get to the part where it ask to press any key to continue installation or press F8, I tried with any key and with F8 and typed -v and -v cpus=1 but it keeps restarting the computer over and over again. so I tried it again and now I get this message over and over again: EBIOS read error: Device Timeout Block 8939864 Sectors 64 I am using KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3 iso but when i load the DVD it says Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 at the top, is that what its suppose to be?
