Tonicho Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hey, I have the same problem as you. I got those error messages when I booted the vanilla disc with NO PARAMETERS. When I used F8 and "-v -f" parameters those messages did not appear, and I could get through the apple gray screen, however suddenly the screen goes black (can't see anything) and when I hit enter the disc drive spins the disc. I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ650N/C laptop. I'm sorry, but I can't paste my specs because I dont have an OS installed yet, I wanted Mac OSX to be the first. However, here you can see some information http://www.superwarehouse.com/Sony_VAIO_SZ650N_C_Notebook/VGNSZ650N_C/ps/1503551 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me@home Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I've been trying to install Leopard (unsuccessfully), I have BOOT 132 hi, I have almost the same mobo, got that error too. I used orig. leop. retail dvd 10.5.0 then I did dl the new 10.5.4 dual layer dvd and this worked fine...Ok I could install with dvd then I didn't know which kexts to replace (used some out of working 10.5.4 install but got debugger called panic and so...). However it was "nice" to run the real DVD to install Leop. on my system... I got lazy and installed ideneb v1.1 10.5.4 running fine so far....

Aea Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 So should I try to get that DVD off a torrent or something? Any help would be appreciated, I feel like I'm not going to be able to make this work even though I bought all recommended components, this really sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
