jasch Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 It strange, but the Leopard DL DVD installed perfectly on my iBook G4 14", but on my Intel iMac 17", after install and reboot, I get the grey screen and the message telling me that I need to restart my computer. I tried twice to install Leopard with no luck. Same results every time. Anyone with a similar problem? I know it's not the DVD since it worked flawlessly on my iBook. And on the iMac I did a fresh install of Leopard on top of anything that was previously installed. Thanks for any ideas.

Mackie Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Try wiping Tiger and installing Leopard again. Keep in mind this is a beta! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24700-cant-install-on-intel-imac-17/#findComment-166528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Fogge Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Apple's documentation stated that some systems may require Firmware Updates prior to installing Leopard. Perhaps you should go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and see if there is a Firmware update for your model iMac.

jasch Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks for the replies. I wiped Tiger (I re-partitioned the drive with the GUID partition). I also have the latest firmware upgraded (I needed to do that for Bootcamp). Well, I'll try again tonight, if not I'll go back to 10.4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24700-cant-install-on-intel-imac-17/#findComment-166875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
