CaptMac Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi- trying to follow guides posted for installing the retail dvd and I'm having issues: specs: GA-EP35-DS3P Core2duo 2ghz 2gb ram 500 sata drive Retail DVD 10.5.6 I've created the Boot-132 iso for the board and when get to the part where I'm booting from the retail dvd there's this circle with a hash mark that shows up about 1 minute into loading. Which to me means it's not loading anymore. Essentially it's the international symbol for NO. All the guides specify 10.5.5 or lower but I've not seen one for 10.5.6 retail DVD. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible? Thanks, CM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/156614-attempting-retail-dvd-install-1056-on-ga-ep35-ds3p-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should give you more detail to work with. HTH.

I could not wait so I installed the nvinstaller .52 selected Vanilla, edit boot with EFI for Nvidia 8600 gt 256 and rebooted. AND IT WORKS. Screen resolution correct and CI and QE both supported/enabled. Sleep works, shutdown works, reboot works, Ethernet works, mounting packages works. Console scrolls the following message... _CFgetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error 35 What does this mean? NOW What.... this seemed EZ.
