Aaron_0514 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Ok, I have the Leopard_Client_9A410.dmg. I converted to a .cdr, burned a DVD, then booted from that DVD.... and every mac I try it on (G4 500 x2, iMac G4 700MHz, Quicksilver 733MHz), I get an error message after booting saying something like, "This system does not support 10.5".. or something to that effect. I click "OK" and I can navigate around (to things like disk utility)...... Do I have a bad image? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appricated.... Thanks, Aaron Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52272-cant-get-leopard-installed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cringemaster Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 You should just burn the DMG instead of converting to a .cdr, although I dont think that is the issue. When leopard first started floating around, the first DVD i burned with it didnt work. I just redownloaded and burnt (at a slow speed) using toast and it worked fine.

Colonel Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yes, I have also found that the Leo DVD only seems to work if you burn it at the slowest speed possible.

Aaron_0514 Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 I burned it at 8X. I can boot from the DVD with no issues. Just after I choose English, I then get an error message saying that 10.5 will not run my system. I even restored the .dmg to an iPod and tried that... I can boot from it, just like from the DVD, but I get the same error - 10.5 does not support my system. I don't understand - I had the first beta relase and that worked flawlessly........but this new 9A410 is giving me grief. I was able to install the first release on my dual 500MHz G4, my 733MHz G4 Quicksilver and even my G4 400MHz Powerbook. Did Apple revamp the system requirements ?
