I can install Leopard with the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD just fine, but after it tells me to restart my computer and boots back up it brings me to the gray/white apple screen. After a few minutes of loading a black box pops up telling that I 'need to restart your computer. press the restart button, or hold down the power button' in a few different languages.

 

The first time it happened (yesterday), I hit F8, and booted up with -V, and it appeared to lock up when it was loading my ethernet drivers.

 

I've tried installing it with different drivers, including trying it with and without the vanilla kernel. On my video card there were 2 options (the only difference I saw was one had (Desktop) on it, and neither seemed to make a difference.

 

Would it be a problem with how my hard drives are setup? I have a RAID0 on my Intel controller (so the hard drives on it have to be set to RAID), and I've tried my Jmicron set to IDE and AHCI, and neither work. I've connected the hard drive I want to install it on to on different SATA ports, and with different settings, and it dosnt change anything, except on one of my JMicron ports, it shows a circle with a slash through it on the apple logo screen instead of the restart message.

 

My setup:

Asus P5B Delux (no wifi)

J-Micron SATA controller, and Intel RAID controller

Core 2 Quad, q6600

2x 1GB DDR2 800

XFX 6800XT, 128mb of memory

two SATA DVD burners, one with light scribe, one with out

Creative SB Audigy 4

The hard drive I'm installing it onto is a 160GB SATA drive.

 

This might be a problem, but on the .ZIP file I 'found', it contained a few other files and folders, but I only copied the .ISO and burned it. Was I suppose to do anything with the other files (such as .DS_Store, and ._kalyway_leo_10.5.1.iso (only 60KB)) ?

 

I'm pretty good with computer hardware, but I'm still learning my way around hacking this.

 

Any sugestions?

 

Thanks.

Where is the pacifist and nvinject on the install CD? I looked around ont it and didnt see anythigng..

 

I've tried these drivers, but so far the first time I tried it ended up with me getting the same 'you must restart' screen when I restarted.

pacifist should already be loaded on your computer, check in your Applications folder (it comes preinstalled with the kalyway install), then in pacifist search for nvinject and install to default location.

 

hope this help

 

Edit: First thing when in pacifist select "Open Apple Install Discs", but make sure the install disc is in the dvd drive first. then you should be able to use the search function to find and install nvinject

I opened up Pacifist, loaded the disk, and went to Contents of Video_drivers, then Contents of NVINJECT_gfnidia, and installed it to the default location. But when I restart my computer, I get a message pop up on my desktop saying 'System extension cannot be used', then shows the path of where the NVinject.kext was installed, and says it was installed improperly.

 

I did get my audio to work though, after installing the correct realtek drivers. I think once I get the right resolution I'll be good.

 

Thanks for the help btw.

It didnt work.. :D I repaired the disk permissions, and it came up with a few errors (I can list them if you need me to), and I restarted it, and it didnt appear to do anything. I'm suppose to be installing the files in 'Nvinject_gfnivida' right?

hey Y dont you try what i did my nvidia use to gie error and the same problem so i used transmac application in windows to delete all the files of systems/library/extensions/Ge*kext &NV*.kext

 

 

and it worked
