I can load the Kalyway disk.

 

I choose Vanilla with both options.

 

I choose Nvinject for Nvidia Desktop being that i have a 8800gt.

 

I choose EFI MBR. FORMATTED DRIVE AS MBR.

 

It installs, countdown to zero.

 

I remove the disk.

 

Restart the comp. Grey apple screen flashes for one second.

 

It restarts.

 

I try again with -v.

 

Grey apple screen flashes for one second.

 

It restarts.

 

I've installed it so many times that I feel something seriously must be wrong.

 

 

Comp Specs: 2gb ram

Pent D 820

Intel D945PSN with latest bios

PNY XLR8 8800gt

IDE DVD AND HARDDISK

Sounds like a video problem.

 

Try starting with '-x'

 

Thats for loading in safe mode..and make sure you have all secondary monitors/displays disconnected.

 

That always locks up my bootup..

 

And as far as the install goes I've had the best success with just installing normally, ie, start the dvd install normally not in safe mode and leave everything else unchecked EXCEPT mbr partion boot.

 

Thats if your booting off of a hd with other os's on it which I do.

 

I think the Guid is ok if your installing all to a separate HD..

 

Worked for me.

 

Loving the Leopard!

I just tried it again but now I don't get the bootloader; I just stayed stuck at one minute left for like 30 minutes. I restarted, reinstalled over the previous, and now I get a flashing cursor _ _ _ and it just stays stuck there. lol argh.

 

ps. The only reason why I want osx is to run Garageband and check for compatibility,. I have a Casio Privia PX-575R. From what I heard though this keyboard may have an issue with OSX not recognizing it. I may end up just buying a legit minimac for this purpose, dont really want to waste a 250 dollar videocard and 22 inch monitor for just garageband ;). All the time Iv'e wasted so far i could have worked those same hours and bought the damn thing by now lol.

I have the same board and processor in one of my builds. I had to use the EFI-MBR and I wouldn't check any of the nait injection packs as you have the 8800gt and will need the 10.5.2 kext before you can use it. I patched the sigmatel 9220 from the directions on another post and everything just works for me. I left all the kernel slections as default.

good luck

So as I am getting my OSX86 working on my D945PSN intel board, I have only have one issue... this is with my sound. I have done some research on this forums to find the right kext to install. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks.
