Not booting after Leo4all V3 install :(

[JustinAiken]

Board: Abit IP35 Pro

CPU: Intel Q6600 cooled by Artic Freezer 7

Case: Antec P180

Video: Asus 8600GTS Passive Cooled

Ram: 4 GB of OCZ 800mhz

DVD: Samsung IDE

Audio: Digidesign 002R

Mouse: Logitech Revolution MX

Hard Drives:

 

300 GB SATA (win Vista/win XP)

500 GB SATA (audio samples)

750 GB eSATA (my mp3/flac collection)

200 GB USB (downloads)

500 GB IDE (Leopard)

 

 

 

 

Okay, I just gave it a shot... removed all my RAM except for one 2GB stick (I heard the jmicron chipset will crash if you have more than 3GB and an IDE drive), patched the leo4allv3 with the jmicron fix, and installed...

 

It went perfect... formatted my blank IDE drive as HFS journaled, chose MBR as suggested, installed to that; for options I chose AC97, ICHsomething, and ninject, because thought I'd need those; didn't know what ethernet to choose..

 

Anyways, after the installation, computer reboots, I set that drive as the first boot priority, darwin loaded up, I chose Leopard (only choice of course)..

 

And then it goes bad... after loading up some stuff (I saw it see my other hard drives and some stuff about ethernet), my monitor loses connection; not just a blank screen, but no communication between the video card and the monitor ... it may be restarting or turning off, I'm not sure...

 

Any ideas?

Try using the -v option at startup (verbose mode). When you see the darwin bootloader screen, hit F8 and it will let you enter a boot option. If you type a question mark, it will give you a whole bunch of options. Try -x first, and it might let you boot. If that doesn't boot, then use the -v option and post any errors you see (kernel panics). Someone can probably help you if you post the errors, or you can search this forum for answers. Best was is to do a google search, and add site:insanelymac.com at the end of your search string - that will limit results to this forum.

Best of luck.
