Hi,

 

Ive been trying to get leopard on my Asus F8va for 2 weeks now but to no avail.

 

Ive tried iAtkos v1.0i, iAtkos v5.0i, Kalyway 10.5.2 & iDeneb v1.4.

 

 

 

1)Kalyway & iAtkos v1.0i

 

doesnt even boot into the installation even with

 

-v,-x,-f, or cpus=1

 

 

 

2)iAtkos v5.0i

 

able to go into the install but the install fails with the message

 

"unable to validate contents of the 10.5.5.intel package"

 

 

 

3)iDeneb v1.4i

 

This seems to be the most successful as I am able to

 

get into the install without any flags.. I am also able to complete

 

the installation but after the install, i cant boot into OSX, it

 

gets stuck on the white apple logo on restart and it doesnt have

 

the circle loading thingy.

 

while reading the other forums, i find that perhaps my customize might be wrong

 

so i played around with it but still get the same problem.

 

Does anyone have any idea what custom settings i should use?

I have an F8VA-B1 and I got OSX86 working on it last year, kind of. I forget exactly what I did, aside from installing, then using the DVD to copy some Tiger kexts over. I remember that in order to get it to boot, I had to specify cpus=1. Use -v when you start so you can see what causes the kernel panic. I hope that helps.
