Leo Hangs up On Info Transfer

[maksu]

I've installed OS X several times on different computers and always gotten rou

d the problems I had.

Usually I dont have problems after I finish the installation, but this time the following thing happened;

I installed Leo on a modded 80GB lacie external hdd and selected the right packages to be installed with it.

After installation i went to bios and changed my hdd boot priority, so that it boots os x from the external always

when the lacie is connected. The installation went fine (i monitored the log during the process) and it booted to

os x for the first time. After the nice intro animation it asked me to press a button so that it could recognise my

keyboard and it did that well, but when i got to the "wanna transfer your info from an old mac" -part I selected

that I dont want to transfer any info and it just froze. Then after five minutes it starts the whole thing from the

beginning again and freezes on the same exact part of the installation.

 

Any way of getting around the info thingyy?

I'm 90% sure my selected packages are the ones I need and I have installed leo three times now and the same result

every time. I used leo4allv3 and i have had two different versions of tiger running on this pc, so hardware shouldnt be a problem.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated since i cant run the settings in verbose (or even get a log of what happened)

and i dont have any idea why it hangs. I'm not going back to tiger anymore, so this may very well result in me starting to use

XP+PCLOS combo again

 

Thanks again.

Sounds like your lan adapter isn't working.

Sounds like your lan adapter isn't working.

 

Just wrote a LOOOOOOOONG message but somehove I managed to wipe it

Whay I was saying was that I'll try to disable my wlan card that sits in a PCI-slot

and if that doesnt work i'll physically remove it. I have integrated LAN on my mobo,

so i dont think that it would be the cause on the hang up, on the other hand the

wireless might cause it.

 

Just out of curiosity Vapor: what makes you think it's

a LAN-problem?  It tries to check my connections for information transfer?

Or does the next step of the setup contain some LANstuff?

 

Thanks alot Vapor!

Hello,

 

I´m having the same problem. My network adapter is a VIA RHINE Chipset. Unfortunately on the Install-DVD there is noc driver for this adapter.

Does anyone know a possibility to skip this part and later install the driver or is there a possibility that I myself insert the driver in the installation image via another mac?

 

Many thanks for hints, tipps and sugestions ;-)

 

Bye

disableing the wireless card worked for me, but i had to install os x again because my hdd needed partitioning.

This time I checked my packages again and found a general driver for wireless cards and for my integrated

LAN-circuit, so everything works now. I think you should try the leo4allv3 install-dvd and check all the packages,

as it seems to have alot of useful stuff.

Yes! Turn off my wireless card works for me!

 

Thanks
