Eureka! Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi, I downloaded and installed the kalyway 10.5.1 leopard disk but I'm having some issues with boot up. When I pop out the cd and turn on the computer it goes into the Darwin bootloader, when I select the partition that has leopard installed on it it shows the apple loading screen for maybe 10 seconds and then everything goes blank and the computer restarts and the process continues. Thanks a lot for any help, Greg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116234-not-booting-properly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Dont Use Kalyway. Use Leo4all or ToH RC2. they should work fine with giving you the reboot loop. I recomend Leo4all because its easy, letting you choose to install EFI and Vanilla kernel and kext right from the installer.

Btw, I'm using a 6 year old IMB think pad with 512mb ram so would this have anything to do with it? ~Greg UPDATE: ok, while the Leo4all is downloading I tried reinstalling kalyway this time with some different settings. Now, instead of seeing the loading screen and then restarting it just shows the loading screen (I can see the little thing spinning under the logo) I don't know if theres something I should do at this point or if I should just keep waiting. ~Greg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116234-not-booting-properly/#findComment-823323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Ya, just keep waiting. I'm pretty sure OS X was written specifically FOR 6-year old IBM Thinkpads... They're just a little slow with 512KB of memory. (and if you weren't just pulling our legs with that post, I sincerely apologize for being such an a$$hole...)

Its been sitting there "loading" for the last 3 plus hours. and the leo4all is 6.7% downloaded after the same amount of time. grrr....

noob766 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 ummm 512 KB of memory wasn't even six years ago....... You sure it isn't 512 MB? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/116234-not-booting-properly/#findComment-823503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 i dont know if Leo4all eill work on your think pad, because It wont support PC EFI. But its worth a shot i just have not been able to get it to work on any system thats not Core 2 or What ever the AMD Dual core is called based. But i Know ToH Toh will work just fine on it.
