[noob][half-solved] "You need to restart your computer" when trying to install

[Azerto]

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to install Leopard on my new hardware, but I can't get to the "choose your language" screen.

 

I'm using the generic boot 132 image found in this topic (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=113288 - .ISO with modified kexts) and my Leopard 10.5.0 retail DVD

 

I tried these 2 discs on an older pc (not mine) Core 2 Duo, Intel board, Ati X1300 Pro, and it works : I reach the "choose your language" screen and can use disk utils, system info and other tools. (It works)

 

But on my new hardware ( Intel E8500, Gigabyte EP35 DS4, Asus 8500GT - 512 MO -see signature-) :

- Darwin boots

- the grey Apple screen is displayed

- the loading indicator appears

- The DVD loads for a long time, always reading data (noisy).

- "You need to restart your computer" screen

 

+ I tried to start with platform=ACPI|x86 or -legacy with no result

+ Using -v does not show major problems. The boot stops after :

localhost kextd[47]: root filesystem is read-only; skipping kernel link data generation

 

+ I used a Boot 132 image for my mobo (GA EP35 DS4) found in another thread with no luck (reboot before the grey Apple logo).

 

I'll try with a Kalyway image just to see if it can at least boot. But if someone could at least point me to the right direction, that would really be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: Install works using the Kalyway DVD. I guess i'll just have to create may custom boot 132 image with patches from the kalyway install.

There is no need to answer there anymore, from now it's rtfm .Reply only if you can tell me which particular extension was missing in my case.
