Uncheck first the []Graphics Driver box, and when you have a successful installation, download Intel IGMA drivers for 10.5.2 and install it.

I recommend using kalyway 10.5.2, download the torrent file http://www.mininova.org/tor/1305803. My officemate's laptop encountered same problem like yours at boot up. When she borrowed my Kalyway DVD disk, the installation went fine and its ON and working right now.

ShyBoy Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 thx for your reply. yes I got the iso for iATKOS_v1.0i which I burn a dvd and installing from that DVD. I did have kalyway one which I was trying in the past (on my desktop) and it didnt' work so thought maybe this is not gonna work on this. but yes I will definately try kalyway from the new download this time. Is there anything I need to include in the custom installtion or uncheck something from the standard install? or just standard option would be good? Also if I try to do the install from kalyway on my desktop again, should it be any AHCI HDD option needs to enable? the iATKOS one installation went fine on my desktop and after reboot nothing happen, it was not booting from HDD at all, I wasnot sure what did I do wrong on that one. thanks for your help once again. Will post the results after the kalyway installtion on my laptop.
