XoDeus Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 What DO you have? A blinking cursor? Black screen? screen no signal? Disks spinning? Computer turned on? Any messages?

Malien Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I just finally got Kalway 10.5.2 installed as well... having the same problem. But when I try to reboot, it just takes me back into the installation DVD from the beginning again. And if I take the DVD out of the drive, it hangs on my BIOS at 'Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key' Also, I'm pretty sure my BIOS won't detect my USB keyboard anymore... Any thoughts? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100663-need-help-leo-does-not-boot-after-installing/#findComment-718265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But without my keyboard being detected, there was not much I could do. Can't even get into my BIOS anymore, so I stuck in an XP CD, blew out both my Leopard partition and my XP install (which I can no longer get to boot either, and no usb detection even after I blew out the Leopard install) and am now in the process of reinstalling XP. After that, I'll want to give all this a try again. But I'm a bit of a noob about all this. How do I get to boot from MBR? (And what is MBR?) And everytime you have rdiskXsY listed, does it mean rdisk(disk number)s(partiton number)? I think I might be able to do this, but I am a terminal/command line novice, at best!

MBR = Master Boot Record/MBR Partition table GUID partition table is standard for mac os, but u will have to install pc_efiv8 to get it booting up on a guid partition table And everytime you have rdiskXsY listed, does it mean rdisk(disk number)s(partiton number)? correct Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100663-need-help-leo-does-not-boot-after-installing/#findComment-718330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything different to this process?
