Acidic Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 hey guys, I'm attempting to install Retail Leopard 10.5.4 using the Boot-132 method. I have a P5W Dh Deluxe motherboard. i downloaded Asus P5W-DH by macita (lightweight version by MACinized) and burnt a disc from the .iso. I rebooted my comp and booted onto that disc. i ejected the bootloader and put in retail leopard. hit enter twice, and it started to load.... first off it gave me ebios device errors.... then it told me the computer could not start... pausing 5 seconds.... it then flashed me some more code something like cpu 9.... i saw the white screen with gray apple for a second! then my computer rebooted.... i have tried to repeat this process with -v and -x. am i using the wrong boot-132? thanks again. **i tired a different boot-132 bootloader.... same error..... error occured pausing 5 seconds then restart....... i tried reseting bios settings... same error ... ** i was researching my problem and saw someone say that the problem occurs because there is a mismatch between the files on the bootloader and the retail disc Thanks very much, all help appreciated.
