Tlime machine Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Having trouble installing Kalyway 10.5.1 , Im not quite sure what to do, press f8, then pressed it again and typed -v, after tons of kexts and stuff (???) it rebooted again. Tried it without typing -v, Loading Darwin/x86, then suddenly reboots too... what went wrong? Note: after removing disk (did not install kalyway) i got an disk boot failure when trying to to boot... and when i left the disk to boot, it gave me an /com.apple.Boot.plist not found error Config: .Dvd drive is Samsung writemaster SH-S182 (not sure if it's sata) .Vista is currently installed in the harddisk, no other partitions. (NTFS) .p4 . 2x 512 ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We probably need to know a little more detail about your system. Not sure Leopard will even install on a straight P4. -v is simply a flag that lets you see what is happening during bootup instead of it all happening behind the white screen with the grey apple logo. It doesn't have an effect on the actual installation itself. The boot.plist error during installation is usually an indication that your dvd drive is not being identified properly.

Help!!!!!!!!!! How can I repair (without re-installing) with Grub installed... ? Can i fix the kernal or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadphoto14 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have this problem as well. It seems like either no one has an answer, or they just dont want to help. If someone could just find a simple answer, many people would be using leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeamp Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Reboots before installation GUI has to do with the FSB. JaS is working on a new 10.5.3 image which wil fix your reboot issues on older machines that don't support SSE2, like the Pentium 4 HT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
