Paramount Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm having some problems with Kalyway DVD with 10.5.1 in my machine. I have a Pentium 4 Prescott (3.0Ghz) with SSE3 (HT enabled). My mainboard is a Asus P4C800 Deluxe (i875p Chipset, ICH5 southbridge). Ram: 2GB Samsung TCCC. HD: 80Gb Seagate SATA, free for Leopard. I'll only use Leopard in this machine (no dualboot needed). The MD5 Checksum of my ISO file is OK with the Kalyway thread. I have tried to create a MBR partition (1 only partition), and install: -Vanilla_Kernel -Vanilla_ACPI_fix -NVINJECT_gfnvidia_desktop -BOOT_efi_mbr The install goes fine. But after reboot, It stops in a black screen, with cursor blinking in top of screen, and the HDD Led on infinitely. Nothing happens. So... I tried others installs: GUID partition, with BOOT_efi_guid. But I get an error in the instalation end... and on boot I get a message: /com.apple.boot.plist not found So, tried again: MBR partition, without Vanilla, but same as the first... a black screen without any information. If left the DVD Instalation in the drive, it starts the DVD... and only show the DVD option... no HD instalation. Do I have forgot anything? I need to install some other thing to be able to boot Leopard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramount Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have solved the problem. A little change in my bios before the Leopard install. SATA to Legacy mode. Disabled the Floppy. The SATA HD is the first disk in boot. ------------- The MacOS is starting now... but... I get a loop in the Welcome Video... After the welcome video, I have to answer some questions... about my country (go ok), about my keyboard (ok too), and in the "Do you already have a mac?" I choosed: "Do not transfer my information now", and clicked in "continue"... Leopard hangs for a minute.. then start the Welcome video again... in a endless loop. Someone know how to fix it?
