snackole Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 How long did you wait? It might take 10 or 15 minutes to load. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75503-leopard-on-my-laptop/#findComment-533504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donw35 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Try -legacy -f if that does not work, your laptop may not be able to run it, I have tried it on two of my laptops and it only loads on my HP NC8230 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75503-leopard-on-my-laptop/#findComment-533538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
musiqkid Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 How long did you wait? It might take 10 or 15 minutes to load. Waited about 5min's because there was not activity going on in DVD drive or the fan or anything i pressed.

MasterXXXShake Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Try Waiting WAY longer. It takes almost half an hour to boot that disk on mine, and there are long periods where it seems hung, if it doesn't throw a kernel panic or the dreaded waiting for root just keep waiting.

musiqkid Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Try Waiting WAY longer. It takes almost half an hour to boot that disk on mine, and there are long periods where it seems hung, if it doesn't throw a kernel panic or the dreaded waiting for root just keep waiting. I've booted it on my brother's pc and it took about 2mins to boot into the welcome screen from where it stops on mine. I just tried installing again with -legacy -f and waited about 12mins and my laptop seems to be doing nothing no DVD drive lights were on and seems everything just came to a stand still. I don't think waiting half an hour will fix the problem, my laptop is way faster than that but i'll give it a try tho. Any other adivce thanks thanks for the one's that were gave already Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/75503-leopard-on-my-laptop/#findComment-533663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
