jzaw Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 i had this problem i solved it by cloning a working 10.5.1 system with a ready user off my macbook i think i read in one of the threads that _importing_ your user and settings from a working Tiger 10.4.x system would work to bypass this issue create two partitions ... install and get working 10.4.x (ie JaS or other) then install leo on the first main partition and import the user from tiger ... then resize the partitions to unify them again dont know if this will work cos ive not tried it but its what i understood was implied by that thread hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarioJE Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Leopard is not detecting your network card so it loops. Leopard will ask you about your network in the next step, when it cannot detect your network card it loops back to the welcome screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzaw Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'd say the obivous try going back and changing your region to UK / GB and then try putting any number It might be it knows what US numbers should look like but not UK ones (or rather they didnt bother putting in an error algorythm for UK nos) you can later change your time zone to what ever you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzaw Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 heres another possible solution for the cyclic .... welcome to mac .... process terminal commands in bold when youve installed leo dont boot normally instead boot to single user mode (f8 and -s) IMPORTANT FIRST STEP Enable the root user for your new system user by creating a password passwd root (when asked type the root password 2x) now to the good stuff touch the setup done file in the database dir touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone note the . (dot) in front of .AppleSetupDone that is its proper name cos its invisible to the gui reboot ... it doesnt have a conventional user so itll boot to root in the gui without welcoming you to OSX you can create an ADMIN user for yourself in the users preference pane relogin as that new user this works on a _real_ Mac ... I'm hoping it works on a hackintosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
