Leopard 10.5.1 wont boot anymore

[djx18]

Neeed help!! Leopard was working fine, however today i booted back to it from windows xp which is on a separate hard drive and its stuck on the darwin bootloader asking me to type in booting options usch as -v. I hit enter and it comes right back to that screen in about a mili-second. I tried -v -x -f cpus=1 did not work. -x does not work -v does not work nothing works it always comes back to this screen. I tried booting the installation from the dvd, it did not work, same problem stuck at the darwin bootloader. I booted the dvd to the installer and tried repairing disk permissions using disk util and tried verifying the disk and it all checked out fine. I also booted with the dvd using -s to get to the kernel and made sure the disk and partition were active, which they were because i do see Leopard (0,1) in the boot screen which im stuck at. I did not install EFI, I could never get it working. This is the darwin bootloader.

 

PS. I installed all the patches for my motherboard, all 4 cores were running. Driver for ethernet was not stable so i had deleted it, sata drives work find also but im running leopard on an IDE. Bios settings did not change!

 

Installation CD: Iatkos

OS: Leopard 10.5.1

Mother Board : Asus P5NE - SLI

IDE hard drive

Quad Core 2.66ghz

 

 

THanks!!

I'm having the exact same problem. Did you ever get it solved? We're using the same hardware it looks like. Any help from anyone?

THanks!!
