Mackie Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Finally managed to install Leopard. However, it stalls at startup at the gray apple logo. Had a look at it with Verbose mode. It stalls with "Localhost directory service - launchd could not load com.apple.DirectoryService - exiting this instance with error 1102". In Safe Boot mode it gets to the blue screen and stalls there. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John the Geek Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Boot into Single-User Mode by holding Apple and S at startup. - Type mount -uw to connect to your drive - Then cd /Library/Preferences/DirectoryService - Now type rm *.* to delete those specific preferences - Type shutdown -r now to restart and hopefully boot up. If you are bound to an active directory you'll need to re-bind, but otherwise you should not notice a thing. =) EDIT: These commands are Tiger-specific, but should work on Leopard too. Don't type rm *.* unless you are certain you are in the DirectoryServices folder!! That command deletes all files in a folder... whatever folder you're in at the time.

Mr.C.Tippins Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've tried installing the WWDC seed 3-4 times now. Got it to boot once then when I ran software update it wouldn't boot. I am getting a kernel panic while still on the grey Apple screen. Haven't looked at verbose or single user mode but will be doing that tonight. Any one have any thought in the meantime?
