geoffl Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I successfully installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and when I try to boot OSX it hangs on the boot screen. I can see the apple and the spinning circle but as soon as the sound begins, the circle quits moving and nothing else happens (visually). The first time I booted, after the boot sound ended I could here a guy telling me about OSX's ability to recognize speech or something. Any ideas of why this is happening? Anyhelp would be appreciated. System info: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 Ghz SSE3 3 GB ram 320 GB hd Intel GM965 Chipset ATI radeon hd 3470 graphics card Thanks in advance.
