Holmes89 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I am trying to install Kalyway 10.5.1 on an AMD 64 processor machine with 1 gig of ram and on a 80gig secondary hard drive. I have looked all over and can not find a way to get it to work. Once and a while when I try installing I will recieve the "/com.apple.Boot.plist not found" error and other times I will not get it and it goes all the way to the apple screen but after a few minutes my dvd drive (Pioneer) just stops and the apple logo doesn't go away. I waited for a half hour and nothing happened. My drive will not open or doesn't even sound as if it is running. It is an ata drive only so I don't know if that makes a difference. Any help would be reall appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84164-please-help-with-kalyway/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweak41 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm fairly new at this whole game as well, but I do know a few things are necessary. A) You MUST use a SATA drive. When you want help you have to give us more info. What is your Motherboard? What interface is your harddrive? Notice the signatures some people use list complete specs of their machines. That's the sort of useful information the community needs to help you. C) Have you tried using F8 at the beginning of install and typing "-v" (without the quotes) to see where the installation freezes? It's likely you'll need a SATA DVD drive first (and hard drive for that matter) before it'll work, I know that's what I had to do. Good luck, tweak Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84164-please-help-with-kalyway/#findComment-597421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, tweak ok I just did what you told me and typed in -v and i got the error "ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure" it was at that time that my dvd drive shut down (ATA) and it sounded like my hard drive stopped (SATA). Does that help at all? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84164-please-help-with-kalyway/#findComment-597445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
