atomicV1sion Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Yeah im trying to install 10.5.6 on my computer and i can not even get to the install screen.. it just says on the apple sign and just sits there. Im running on a Abit IP35 Pro, a Intel Quad Q6600 2.40ghz 2gbs of Ram and a geforce 8800 Did you try booting with the flag "cpus=1"? When Darwin boots up, press F8 to enter boot options and type: -v cpus=1 This will boot OSX in verbose mode with one CPU active, which is needed for some systems. I know some people have trouble with quad core systems as well.
