fULvI3ttO Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've trayed to install Leo4all 10.5.2 on a HFS partition of 11 GB. When i try to run the OS for the first time in verbose mode with cpus=1 platform=x86pc it says : "still waiting for root device", there's no way to run Leopard and i can't figure out why.. Has anyone installed Leopard on a Pavilion dv6000? Can anyone help me, telling me which third party drivers choose to install according to my hardware configuration? I'm downloading Kalyway and Iatkos too, hoping to solve my problem with another package.

iMotox Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 It's probably HP's fault. I am still running the piece of sh*t vista on my DV9627cl because it can't find a harddrive and nothing really works. I'm thinking I need a kext file into the .iso, but I don't know which one.

fULvI3ttO Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 i've been searching a lot for the problem to past the section "Do you already own a mac". But i can't activate firewire and serial port from my notebook, its bios is blocked. I can't unplug my nic, i can't figure out how to do.. I've read to copy a mac profile from someone to mine, in order to skip this phase..but where to get it?

Memorial Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The AMD guys can try Zephyroth's DVD, he focuses only on AMD and makes a pretty good DVD I hear.

The Big H Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I am having the same problem with my DV8000 AMD. I've been trying to locate the Zephyroth version, but so far I have been unsuccessful. If anyone knows where I can find one, please point me in the right direction.
