Freezes at gray apple logo screen?

[aspect]

Hey everybody.

 

Well, I ran my iAtkos patched dvd, formatted a nice 10GB chunk of my harddrive to Mac OS X (Journaled), went through terminal to set that partition as my active one, and proceeded to install leopard.

 

Halfway through the installation, my computer just rebooted. i erased the partition again, and ran the installation. same thing.

 

so I booted from my hard drive, and selected Leopard in darwin boot. it went to the gray apple logo screen with the spinny thing and loaded for a few seconds. then it froze. i ran -v, and the last line it froze on was "Resetting IOCatalogues".

 

anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

 

heres the last few lines of the log.

thanks in advance!

 

 

EDIT: well, i fixed it with the cpus=1 thing. /yay/

 

and OS X is now working on my computer!
