Slugsnack Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi all, I'm trying to install Leopard with Kalyway 10.5.2 on a test machine, Dell Precision M60. I obtained the ISO and burned it successfully. I've installed several times now with several different configurations and it's installing fine but screwing up when it tries to boot. It gets stuck on 'using XX buffer headers and XX cluster io buffer headers'. I've googled and many people got these errors also and I believe the trick is behind the configuration when you install. I've searched this forum and found threads from people who have successfully installed onto the same model laptop so I'm sure it's possible, just that I'm not using the correct configuration. Is there some way I can find out what is the best configuration for my machine.. ? It takes about 45 minutes each time I install it. Looking through the BIOS, the hardware is : Graphics - NVIDIA QuadroFX 700 Audio - Sigmatel 9750 Processor - Pentium M 1.70 GHz/600 MHz I'm not sure how to get the motherboard model number since there is currently no bootable OS running on that machine. I've seen this thread and tried the recommended settings by one of the posters there but ended up getting the same error still : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=84482 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirbow2 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 i think i got this error before. i went into bios and enabled ACPI, or APIC something of the sort and it worked. im not sure though but its worth a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
