Thane Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi guys, I'm hoping that you can help me out here... I got the leopard dvd from... The tile of the dvd is: Leopard-AMD-10.5.1 I'm running an asus a8n-sli mobo with 2 gigs ram and a 8800gts and an AMD 4000+ processor when trying to install leopard, i boot off the dvd, runs through a whole lot of text then it just re-boots. I have been able to get a photo of what it says just before it reboots and it says: syncing disks... killing all processes. Tyring to install if a PATA dvd writer and only have a 20 gig PATA drive (partioned correctly) in at the time... I have tried all sorts of switches, including: -s; -x; -v; -legacy; -f cpus=1 any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86665-asus-a8n-sli-premium/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWELycaon Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi, Got the exact same problem using Zephyroths 10.5.2 rev 1 release. ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe SATA1: WD Raptor 74GB SATA2: WD 200GB AMD Athlon XP 3500 2GB RAM DVD R/W on IDE Master Mouse: Razer diamondback USB Keyboard: Microsoft USB I selected the NVIDIA gfx & mobo drivers as well as the MBR and ToH options. Anyone that has gotten this mobo to work? Note, if it may be of interest: This mobo has firewire implemented as default. /SWELycaon Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86665-asus-a8n-sli-premium/#findComment-850262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWELycaon Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi, Solved this!! Install Methods summary: Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev 2. (Rev 1 & LawlessPPC Chameleon won't work). Installed with the following options: ToH 9.2, AC97 Audio, NForce chipset driver, Silicon Image 3132, Nvidia 10.5.2 KEXTS, NVInject 256MB, LAN Forcedeth, Filesystem support NTFS, Singleboot Darwin MBR. Does EFI and/or the Vanilla kernel work? Must be MBR, EFI v8 Manufacturer: Asus Motherboard Model: A8N SLI Deluxe BIOS Version: Unknown BIOS setup options: I always have Firewire, Floppy, Com and Paralell ports disabled. Processor Model: AMD XP 3500+ Video Card XFX Nvidia 6800GT 256MB PCIE SATA1: WD Raptor 74GB (with Vista) SATA2: WD 200GB (for Leopard, named Leopard, using MBR and journaled file system) IDE Master: NEC DVD R/W (fully working in Leopard) For install to work, the WD Raptor disk had to be completely disabled in BIOS and the WD200 had to be set as the boot-disk after the DVD in order = Only one SATA disk could be active. With this the install goes just fine. If both SATA-disks are active the Zephyroth 10.5.2 REV2 will give a Installed Failed message and the disk will inly boot if the Zephyroth DVD are in the DVD. If both SATA-disks are active the Zephyroth 10.5.2 REV1 will install fine, but the OSX boot will stop with a "Syncing disks. Killing all processes" message. Hope this helped!
