00diabolic Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I have this old system currently running tiger 10.4.11 with a radeon 9600 pro card. I have been told that system could easily run leo if you got a nividia card. So I did that but its proving to be harder then i thought to get leopard to run. I cant even get to the installer. My specs are: Gigabyte GA-8IP900 p4 titan Intel 865P/ICH5 chipset Link: http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/Products/Mothe...?ProductID=1641 AGP- BFG Geforce 7600GS 512mb DDR2 ram Realtek ethernet card. unsure of the model but it is 10/100 works in tiger should in leopard. Onboard realtek sound works in tiger, should in leopard My problem is: I am completely lost here. I get an instant reboot with both kalyway 10.5.2 and leo4allv3 10.5.2. I have tried -v and -x together with no luck. Hyper threading is disabled in my bios. There is no AHCI mode in my bios. I have tiger 10.4.11 installed on this system and it works perfect. The only difference is I am using a radeon 9600 agp card. The drivers I am using with that card are castelio v3 and they are old and not updated for leopard. So I got this geforce 7600GS agp card in hopes of getting leopard on this system. Can anyone help? THANK YOU!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitallysick Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 What do you mean instant reboot? you put in the kalyway disc , install leopard and reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00diabolic Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 What I mean is I get to the darwin screen type -v -x and it starts to run. At some point in the install it stops and the system reboots back to the bios. I never can get to the setup. Tigers 10.4.9 setup never did this on this system. Is there something I can do to get around this? Usually there is a kernel flag to try. I have tried all the ones I know of that might work to see if I can get it to boot into setup. So far nothing has worked. -legacy, cpus=1, -v, -x Any other ideas out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I suggest you try with JaS 10.5.2 Beta as your system is an old SSE2 CPU based and JaS puts extra effort for SSE2 support on his releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'll have to give Jas a try. His disc has so many options and not organized very well so its hard to figure out what to use. But Ill try it. Anyone else have a suggestion for me with these system specs? THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Other option is 10.5 ToH, lot of people had success with that on old systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
