erasmix Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hello, I'm new to this. I just build a new box to install MacOS Leopard: ASUS P5K-VM CPU INTEL Core2 Quad Q9550 2.83 Ghz WesternDigital Raptor 10K RPM 150G XFX 8600GTS 512M Graphics card My install type is GUID, since the machine will be dedicated to Leopard (no dual boot). First time I installed I didn't choose options and let the installer ran. When I boot it, I get the apple logo with a disabled symbol on the stem of the apple. I made sure my OnBoard device is AHCI. Still get the same problem. I don't want to try ATA, since this is an expensive and fast hard drive and ATA will just lobotomize it. Any other ideas? Second time, I clicked on Custom install. I selected the options that I think apply to my hardware, then when I boot, I get the Darwin/x86 boot: prompt. No matter what I type: -v vanilla, toh, it comes back to the prompt with no messages whatsoever. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, Erasmo.

RobLaw0304 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 there have been issues with nVidia cards and they take very specific settings...i think this is where your problem probably lies. do some research on your exact video card and see if any solutions arise.
