WozzaX Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have a similar setup. Mines the Quad core Q6600, 4 Gig Ram, HD 2600 XT Graphics, 500 Gig HDD, on board lan and sound. I can get Kalyway 10.5.1 installed but booting up is not working. I get the Apple Mac symbol with the loading animated circle. Dont know where to go from here. Bit gutted but I will continue to monitor the scene and see if anyone else has any joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amzter Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have the same hdd as you and the reason it wont run is because none of the distros support the hdd. Here is a guide on how to install it on a external drive then copy it over to the internal. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry510839 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
