pezzonovante Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yo, I am new to OSx86 and have had no success with installing 10.5 Leo on my PC's External HDD. Here are my specs: Dell C521 AMD 64x2 5200 ATI x1300 512mb DVI to HDMI to 42" LCD HDTV 4 GB ddr2 300GB HDD/300GB External HDD Windows Vista x64 is currently installed on main HDD. I have tried many different torrents for AMD compatible OS X Leopard and Tiger. I have been burining ISO images with MagicIso to DVD RW disk. When I boot, I see the "Press any key to install" and when I do my screen goes to no signal but I do have activity from the DVD drive and HDD. I let it go for a while with no signal. If I press a button on my keybord I get activity but no screen. I am thinking this is a Graphics card issue and if so, could someone direct me to a version geared toward my system. I have also tried Flat image instalation, and when I boot it just restarts over and over. With the DVD's I have tried to boot using -x,-v cpus=1 -legacy,cpus=1, all with the same result. I am currently downloading iAtkos version 1 because I saw that it should work with ATI cards. Your help is appreciated.

Alex7575 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 "ATI x1300 512mb DVI to HDMI to HDTV" does this mean you have your pc connected to a hdtv, not a monitor? If yes, you need to connect your pc to a monitor, your hdtv doesn't support the resolution Leo uses when installing.

pezzonovante Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 No kidding! I figured it had to do with my display setup. So there is no way to use my LCD? If I use a monitor for installation, can I hook back up my HDTV afterward?

Alex7575 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You should have no issues connecting back to the HDTV, IF <--- big if there, if you install the video drivers correctly and get the resolution you need from your video card, which I'm guessing it's going to be either 1366x768 or 1920x1080 I'm not sure if there's no way of using the lcd tv, but i figure it's one less issue you'll have to deal with.

pezzonovante Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 What resolution is OS X installation. When installing any version of Windows I have no problem and it is low resolution. My LCD HDTV has displayed all instalations of Windows just fine. Thaks for your help, I guess I will try to borrow a friends monitor and hope it works.
