3vilution Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hey i have tried almost every method for leopard, i have tried the brazil patch method ive done the toh method and still it will not boot after it boots the first time. it will just blink cursor or it will keep restarting. This is really frustrating cuz ive done all the bootfixes and stuff just like the guides tell you to and still with no success. i dont understand how other people are getting leopard to run fine. Im currently running uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4i and have no problems watsoever. If someone can tell me how to get it to boot correctly i would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

MoDs Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Try installing tiger, then leopard without reformatting the partition, ie install leopard *over* tiger. That will keep the boot. Before installing leopard, deselect all packages, then continue the installation. After restart, boot to Install DVD once again and install the latest EFI emulation, currently pc_efi v5.2. You can find it here: http://diddyurl.com/330 Before restarting again, copy dsmos.kext and AppleSMBIOS.kext to your /Volumes/<VOLNAME>/System/Library/Extensions, where <VOLNAME> is the name of the volume to which you've installed leopard, ex: "Leopard" After that, just reboot. Everything should go nice and smooth! MoDs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72603-cant-get-leopard-to-boot/#findComment-514140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
