sp4rkbr Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm tring to install Leopard on the following computer: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Asus A8n-sli Geforce 6200 Turbocache DDR 400 2x512mb Ok the computer is quite old but I made a research and I found out that the hardware is compatible with Leopard. I'm trying with iAtkos 1.0i and the installation goes well. Then I run darwin_boot and do everything as it is supposed to be (I'm trying on a clean 40gb HD, with one single partition "Leopard" which name is disk0s1, so on darwin_boot I put DiskNumber 1 and PartitionNumber 1) and I still can't boot it after it is installed. When I reboot it acts like there's no device to boot, so I conclude something is going wrong and I'm not getting to make the HD bootable. Anyone could help me? Thx a lot.

limac Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Hi, You have to make sure that the partition you installed Leopard in should be primary. And the other thing is that you have to set the partition active after installation. regards, limac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkear5 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Boot your OS X DVD into -s mode and type the following when everything finishes loading. fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag 1 update write quit reboot 0 is your Hard-drive number, 1 is your partition number. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
