Octeris Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I am getting very frustrated with getting very close to finally booting into the install only to have lock ups. My current hardware: Motherboard - ASUS P5N32-E SLI PLUS nForce 650i CPU - Core 2 Duo E6600 - 2.4 Ghz - 1066 Mhz FSB Memory - 2 GB DDR2 800 Video Card - eVGA 8800 GTS 640mb WD 74Gb Raptor SATA Seagate 500Gb Barracuda SATA DVD Drive - SATA Samsung SH-S183L I have tried Kalyway (burned at 1x speed), iAtkos v1.0ir3. Kalyway will not start into the installation, leaving me with a "Restart your computer" overlayed on an Apple logo. iAtkos receives a SAM Media Read / Write error, and also a "still waiting for root device" error (depending on flags I boot with). Leo4All v3 is getting me the closest I have gotten in a while. I am not getting any SAM Media errors, and no still waiting for root devices. Instead I get random hangups at different points (I only know specifics of two). One is at CoreRAIDServer not responding, and the other is IOATAController device blocking bus. If I boot Leo4All v3 with no flags, I get to the cloudy background, with a pinwheel continually spinning. Eventually the pinwheel freezes and no installer pops up, and I have to reset. Any suggestions are extremely appreciated, thank you. I'd really like to be able to run Leopard, but no dice so far.

Gujal Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 As you have Leo4allv3, all you need is to ensure you are only selecting the relevant drivers for your system during install, such as nforce kernel, nforce chipset mods. Dont even select nvidia to start with. You can add that later Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111193-help-with-leo4all-and-my-hardware/#findComment-787703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octeris Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Unfortunately I don't even make it into the installation. The furthest I have gotten is the install attempting to boot up and then hanging without the first window coming up.

kstephens98 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Try adding these flags at boot cpus=1 -v Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111193-help-with-leo4all-and-my-hardware/#findComment-787855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octeris Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have tried multiple flags with different combinations. -v -v cpus=1 -v -x cpus=1 -v -x -f cpus=1 The furthest I have gotten are "CoreRAIDServer not responding" hangups and "IOATAController device blocking bus." Without any flags, I managed to boot into the desktop directly before the installer window or the toolbars loaded. I had the cloudy background and a spinning pinwheel which eventually hung up and I had to restart. I should mention I have only tried Kalyway 10.5.1 in the past, I am about to try 10.5.2 this morning.

MiJKa Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 This is definitely NOT what you're going to want to hear but do you maybe have an old IDE drive laying around? I've had some issues on an ASUS M2NPV-VM (second PC) installing on sATA drives. I ended up making my life easier by installing there on my sole remaining IDE drive. nForce chipsets still seem slightly problematic in their support. :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111193-help-with-leo4all-and-my-hardware/#findComment-788352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octeris Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I do have an old IDE drive I could install onto. Should I unplug all the SATA drives when I try? Also, is it possible to copy the install from the IDE drive to my SATA drive after the install?
