twisted_matt Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Right, Leopard installed sucessfully. Reset itself booted up the DVD the 8 second time out came up, booted automatically and now come up with this: Reduced: 85% of original size [ 600 x 450 ] - Click to view full image It just hangs on this and doesn't go any further. I've disconnected my SATA drives and disconnected my ethernet cable from PC thinking it was a problem related to my router, but still no luck. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks.

cgsheen Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 What's you LAN hardware? (onboard? add-on card? what chipset does it use?) Unplugging the cable doesn't disable the hardware. The easiest way past the error is to disable the onboard LAN in the BIOS or pull the card if it's an add-on. Once you can actually get into the Desktop, you'll need to search for the answer to make your specific LAN chipset work. If it's using "forcedeth.kext", your LAN hardware is probably NOT natively supported. (It's usually MUCH easier to buy a cheap Realtek RTL8139 or RTL8169 PCI Lan Adapter than to fight with the various forcedeth.kexts - depends on your hardware though...)
