vbetts Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Well, at first my partition was not active, so I set to active under the leopard install disk terminal. But, it still does not boot. It hangs after the post, with the white slash blinking over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodfightr Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 installed succesfully, then kernal panic on booting I think its graphics card related, possibly having to do with the geforce kexts?

vbetts Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 What chipset does your mobo have? I don't think it would effect it to that extent, but anything could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexidecimal Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 You're getting a white blinking cursor because the drive you have leopard on is not set as an active booting drive, and using the leopard DVD gui tool will not work. You need to boot back to the Leopard DVD, and go through the steps to make your drive partition bootable, which can be found on page 12, 10 and 8 of this thread.

vbetts Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hexidecimal, I did, I set the partition active by using the method you posted on page 12. I can try it again soon, but currently not right now so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexidecimal Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 It's odd you're experiencing crashes bballs, I installed iLife '08 with no issues, everything updates and launches no problem, didn't the AMD kernel have some issues with Dual Core processors? Are you guys launching it limiting to one core with cpu=1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexidecimal Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 That was directed specifically at bballs, I thought I'd heard that Dual Core AMD Processors experienced crashes once in the OS, it has nothing to do with those of you not able to boot into the OS period.

Hexidecimal Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 foodfightr, that's normal, most computers will have that panic at your first boot, try following these steps to see if you can fix the issue. Update: Fully Working! I will post steps here momentarily. This is what I did to get my system fully working with Natit for my 7300GT: Install from Zephyroth DVD. Reboot to install DVD, open terminal, follow these steps to make drive bootable fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you have only on its 0) update f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard) w q reboot Reboot to safe mode, use migration assistant to move ACCOUNT ONLY from working JaS 10.4.8 Tiger install on secondary hard drive, log in to safe mode, remove all GeForce*.kext and NV*.kext files. Reboot to normal mode, you will be in VESA Graphics options with no QE/CI but at least you're in the OS. Then, take all files from http://rapidshare.com/files/72992251/leo_vid_kexts.zip.html and copy to /System/Library/Extensions When it asks you to authenticate hit OKAY and put in your password. Then open the terminal, type sudo -s then your password and paste the following sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDARESMAN.KEXT sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV10Hal.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV10Hal.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV20Hal.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV20Hal.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV30Hal.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV30Hal.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV40Hal.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVDANV50Hal.kext sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext ; sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext then hit Enter. Type Reboot, Pray. These are all the steps I followed to get a fully working QE/CI Leopard AMD install. Once again, thank you Zephyroth! You are the man!
