eddie11c Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 what chipset driver did you install? or did you not install any? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102324-leo4allv3-installs-but-wont-boot/#findComment-729638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
x986123 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I tried non, and Intel SSE2/SSE3 and the Vannila version too. I dont think Leo4all comes with a chipset driver, it might, but do i use NforceOld?
