Doug the Impaler Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Exact same thing...I used the BrazilMac DVD, booted into the DVD fine, installed fine, rebooted into the installer and went to the terminal, patch installed fine (said it was successful anyway) and then rebooted without DVD and boom, it gets stuck and never boots. Then I had to come to work, so I haven't been able to do anything else.

Amerix Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Here the same, after patching and trying to boot from the separed HD with Leopard, I just receive a blinking cursor (a squared one...) with a dollar symbol nearby. Sorry for the poor post but I can't understand this problem!

sponkemonke Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Seems that Brazil Mac's DVD doesn't install the Darwin bootloader. I think ToH's Leopard should install the bootloader.

SquidCombo Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Read this post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i...php/t68973.html It should solve the blinking cursor unable to boot problem. For tstevens, press F8 when you got on darwin bootloader and boot with -v flag. That should show you where it stalled Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70168-cant-boot-into-leopard/#findComment-498908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ToH's Leopard should install the bootloader. well that explains it. I got around it by using the flat image and then the partition merge.
