networktec Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 hi, needed some help. downloaded link from post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113288 followed instructions: This is how it's done: you burn an ISO (which has the bootloader on it) to a CD/DVD, after it gets to the boot prompt, you press ESC or ENTER and it prompts for a new BOOT DEVICE, you swap the BOOT CD/DVD with the LEO Retail DVD, you press enter and it shows you the name of the bootable partition from the DVD, you press enter and Leo starts to load. Quick resume about "oh, what to do now?" #1 - Burn .iso on a CD; #2 - Boot this CD; #3 - When Darwin prompt appear, eject CD and put Mac OS X Leopard Retail DVD; #4 - Press enter (or -v and enter...wherever...) #5 - After install, boot using CD boot again and install .kext needed...and usual files. #6 - Done! i am using a 32 bit os and retail leopard dvd,and do not have a 64bit os. would that be the problem? or os86 is 32 bit, and os64 is 64 bit version? i got to number 4, then i get apple screen, then apple desktop background, and cursor is a multi colored cd/dvd spinning in circles. its been 1/2 hour, still nothing...any ideas why it doesnt take me to the install screen? thanks, any help appreciated!

vilpostus Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 As it is said -v and enter. This way, one will get a verbose mode e.g. no graphics, only a text messages. Check where it has stopped.
