DreamingAwake Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 So, my install went flawlessly. Used the GUID method. Specs are Core 2 Duo E6300 Evga 680i Motherboard 4Gb Ocz Ram Evga 8800GT 512 80Gb IDE HDD IDE Dvd-R Booted up the first time using the -x. Looked good. Got to the welcome screen, selected keyboard and then at the part where it wants you to import a profile or whatever I select none (cause I don't have one) and then it just loads for 5 min, and loops right back to the welcome screen.......... AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Do I need to use a USB keyboard and mouse ? Both a Ps2 keyboard and mouse ? I can't think of why it would be looping. I read somewhere to unplug your network card, but I don't know if that would help. Any suggestions would very much be appreciated !! Thank you !! (Yes I'm using Kalway, only using one core disabled the other in the bios) I feel like I'm so close.. just one more step and I could maybe boot into the OS !!! AHhh 3 days of reading, my brain feels like it's going to explode..lol I was a complete Hackintosh noob before this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyeatsairplane Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 The same exact thing happened to me. Except disabling the network card didn't you can try doing this. Boot into -s then type in these commands /sbin/mount -uw / password root (type in a password) touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone That is what someone suggested to me but it didn't work in my case. It might for you. What I did was reinstall leo and it worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamingAwake Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Heyy.. So I've been browsing this section of the forums and I see quite a few other people have been experiencing this exact same issue. There is however no clear solution from what I can tell, everyone has a different suggestion; which is great, I just don't know where to start. I don't really want to re-install Leo again, but I guess if it comes down to it oh well. I just think there's gotta be a solution, if anyone has run into this problem, what worked for you ??
