mkayz Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi all, I finally got Leopard to install, but once its finally done, it refuses to boot, the verbose freezes at some cluster IO buffer error, no idea what that is, anyway for me to get around that i had to use the DVD, and use the flags cpus=1 -v -x rd=disk0s2 "Graphics Mode"=1280x800x32@60 this got me into the welcome screen and everything was good, apart from the hardware not working but i could see the gui etc. I got the above command from http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i...p/t70928-0.html what my question is should I continue and follow the above instructions, like copying the extentions.kext from the dvd etc and using that t boot, but would that make the install not pure mac osx? has anyone had the same problem listed above and how do they solve?

bofors Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It might help if you tell what kind of hardware you are working on and which OSx86 Leopard distribution you have installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a W7S too, and i installed Kalway 10.5.2 on it successfully. Everything seems fine, except sleep/wake , card reader, and the original wireless. For wireless, I replace it with other wireless card to make it work. Other than those, everything seems fine. So did you make your W7S able to sleep and wake?
