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 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 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!
