salax Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi there, I just got me a Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L motherboard, and for the life of me, can't seem to be able to install any known flavor of Leopard, nor any of the Tiger 10.4.6, .7, and .8 The install DVD is in an external USB drive to overcome the IDE booting problem, and the hard disk is an 160GB Hitachi SATA one. The best case was an iatkos 10.5.1 DVD which although completed the installation successfully didn't give me any boot afterwards from the hard disk. Nor any error messages, nor any stop signs or endless apple logo etc... Any ideas? Thanks! GPU is a Gigabyte 8400GS PCIe, CPU Intel C2Duo 7300, memory CZ 1GB 667 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147333-nothing-after-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
