[mcgoogles2021]

So i tried installing Leopard using iDeneb v1.5.1 recently midway threw the instal i got a kernal panic. I decided to try it anwways it seems to work. The only issue is the video cuts out right after the apple screen goes away. I still got audio. Is there a way to fix this or should i reinstall.

Nice try even if it's a complete mess. Why is your video card listed three times, or do you have three Geforce 9400 video cards? RAM timings are not important, just list how much you have. Monitor model and size is useless as well. You get plus points for not listing make and model of your case, fans and power supply though.

The least you can do is make your specs readable, you know, make it less painful to help you.

 

Anyway

 

Disable hardware in the BIOS that you don't use, like Serial and Parallel ports. In some cases this can free up resources for other hardware.

 

Don't install any video drivers. Fix it post-install. Start from the ground up and pick as little as possible under 'Customize'.

 

As a minimum you need the Voodoo Kernel, a decrypter (DSMOS.kext or AppleDecrypt.kext), a bootloader and some variant of NforceATA.

 

Try booting the installer with maxmem=2048.

Sorry about them mess i just pulled it out of Everest. didnt mean for it to be that jumbled. like i said i already have it installed just the video cuts out. i used voodoo kernel. I hear sound like it starts to talk threw the set up you get after you first install it. I just have no video.

Start by trying the things listed above - installing with no video drivers is a good troubleshooting step.

 

Also try plugging your monitor into the other output on the video card.

So i reinstalled and i got a kernal panic in the install i atteched some pictures. i did not pick a graphics driver like you said. I decided to see if it would boot any ways sence it was at the end. it does what i already discribed. Loads up with an apple logo and a spinny thing then the screen goes black and nothing happens like before.

All I can see is that it's the nforce SATA/PATA drivers that are causing the panic.
