dush2chele Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I am facing the same issue. I installed the Kalyway_Leo_10.5.2.iso image and now during the initial setup screen when I choose do not transfer data it just gets stuck in an infinite loop. Any solutions? I read the following from another forum: 1) Boot into Safe Mode by holding down the shift key upon boot... (wait, wait, wait... it will finally come up) 2) DO NOT LOG IN 3) Hit the back arrow key 4) Then hit the restart button 5) Wait, it will then run/rerun the updates 6) Wait, wait, wait and it will finally restart... I haven't tried this as of yet but will be soon. I shall keep you posted if this works or not.

MacProUser83 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting 2. Mount the file system when you boot 3. Change the root password using the command "passwd root" 4. Touch (create) the .AppleSetupDone file by typing "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" this is the real solution..... when u log back in ur default user will be root Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/121021-keep-restarting-in-migrant-assistant/#findComment-856671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
