Try to boot from darwin with -v but even so it reboot and i can't see the error! - Now, i have booted with Tiger DVD and made 2 partitions (1 for Leopard and 1 for Tiger, when Leopard 100% fully working i delete the Tiger partition and expand Leopard), install was fine! I am on the desktop! Now i have followed this guide -> http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?...;hilit=pacifist to install Leopard to the partition using pacifist... The decompress was ok! I putted into the kexts files and repair permissions... everything was ok! (i think) Rebooted my system and at boot i switched to Leopard partition from dawin. He start to boot but rebooted! (Again) I reboot using the -v command and also same thing as the 1st try of iATKOS...

I report here if it doesn't! Yes, at the end - sorry. I can find no one that has that mb working with leopard. It may work, but there is nothing on the wiki or after a search here. On the other hand, no one said it isn't working. Good luck with Kalyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xclanet Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ok... i give-up! Kalyway's install dvd didn't work for me! If i put vanilla after the F8 at DVD boot-up, when im going to see the grey window, it reboots! If i put nothing, i see the grey window with the circle rolling but after a while (think when it will show the welcome) it says "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button. I reboot once more putted the "-v" option on the at the darwin and i get a bunch of errors: localhost com.apple.launch[1] (com.apple.SystemStarter): Failed to count the number of files in "/System/Library/StartupItems": No such file or directory localhost mDNSResponder[48]: Couldn't read user-specified Computer Name; using default bMacintosh-000000000000000b instead localhost mDNSResponder[48]: Couldn't read user-specified local hostname: using default bMacintosh-000000000000000. localb instead localhost mDNSResponder[48]: getHelperPort: cannot contact helper localhost mDNSResponder[48]: mDNSKeychainGetSecrets: Mach communication failed: (ipc/send) invalid destination port localhost mDNSResponder[48]: SetDomainSecrets: mDNSKeychainGetSecrets failed error 2301 CFArrayRef 00000000 localhost mDNSResponder[48]: mDNSDynamicStoreSetConfig: Mach communication failed: (ipc/send) invalid destination port Resetting IOCatalogue Matching service count = 2 localhost kextd[47]: root filesystem is read-only; skipping kernel link data generation NVDANV30HAL loaded and registered.
