madmoo Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 i am trying to install leopard on an amd 64 cpu. i have tried: "LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD" when i try to boot i get: "install failed. the installer could not install some files in "Volume/MACDRIVE" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok i just erased and partitioned the hard drive to macsomthing journalised format, using the disk utility after the apple cd boots up. now i am getting a new problem. the install seems nearly complete, then i get stuck in a screen showing: a big apple in the background, a spining clock-like icon in the middle-bottom of the screen, and a white square with a caution sign inside, in the centre of the sreen. (does it mean it can't acces the hard drive or cd?) . and that's where it stops. what shall i do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ now i am re-downloading lawless, and juilius has said "I suggest iDeneb since it has 10.5.4, but i would add on Stage XNU Kernel afterwords." so i am d/l iDeneb as well, but i don't know anything about kernels. how do get it and what do i do with it? please can some one suggest something. which version shall i try next? nice one, mm.
