fubeb Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hello The specs of my system are listed in my sig. The software might not be correct anymore as i am upgrading. Last night, i began a installation attempt on my machine to try to install leopard 10.5.0. I followed several guides carefully (This and This one). I had a original Leopard disc image so i followed the instructions to patch it on my Tiger system (before i formatted to install leopard). Everything went okay there so i went to install leopard. After i installed leopard and applied the post install patches, the machine will not boot, a line simply appears as if its trying to load something and nothing happens. If the leopard disc is in the machine, the machine will go into a reboot loop. As a result, i tried installing leopard again, but this time after install, i tried these instructions instead. I didnt follow the steps where i had to use the Kalyway install disc to prep the system, however. So...is it just my hardware doesnt support leopard or is there something i need to add or change to my install procedures or should i just download a new disc image? Any suggestions or recommendations? Help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dot_kom Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 What about using the newer Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD with P5LD2? Thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77069 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubeb Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 okay, i will give that a try when the disc image downloads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttly_fkd Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I can't get Kalyway DVD to work on my P5LD2. Installation fails with an "unkown error" no matter what I do in BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubeb Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Okay, sorry for the delay, i did not get a chance to install the kalyway version until earlier today So the problem is now that i cant even get past the install stage. First time i tried, it errored with "18 minutes left", after trying two more times (giving me a error message with "about one minute left") i dont know what's going on Heres a screen shot of the error Any ideas? i've tried some bios tweaks but im not sure what to aim for (i followed some of the tweaks outlined here: http://lifehacker.com/348653/install-os-x-...cking-required) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScR34m Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've got the same Problem. It ends with about 1 Minute. (waited for about 5 hours) My Motherboard: P5LD2 VM DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalK Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have successfully installed Leo on my P5LD2 based rig (with Pentium4 531 on-board) with ToH RC2 disc. Just after the installation i've applied the postpatch to fix leopard booting (i'm dual booting with an xp by the chain method, both systems are installed on a sata drive with MBR partition scheme). Now i've switched to pentium dual core (my P5LD2 is rev 2.0), and installed 10.5.1 via software update (with the postpatch i've installed EFI v8). Almost everything seems to work just fine "out of the box" (except for ALC882 which is fixed via Taruga's patcher and codec dump). No issues found (yet) {fingers crossed } Regards, Michal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubeb Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 so..does the P5LD2 just not work with the kalyway disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz101 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 needs core 2 duo processor,... had reboot problems too, could not get it to work,... kalyway or iatkos,... on celeron cpu,... got an 2ghz core duo, purrs like a kitten,... kalyway, efi, vanilla, sleep, p5ld2-vm 2.0 you might be able to get it to work, with the new kalyway for SSE2,...
