hatchling Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hey all! I am having a somewhat strange problem, I tried to search for it but couldn't find any other threads on it. Anyway, I installed leo4all v2 on an inspiron 6000. It took me a few tries and finally I was able to get to the final stretch and the installer would freeze and say "about 2 minutes"...(i did see others having this or similar issues, but read on..). The first time I figured something went wrong and rebooted, tried again. Looked it up, saw some people having issues like this due to too much ram or bad boot disk, but my boot disk is fine and i have bare minimum ram (512mb). Eddie also posted somewhere that at the end of the install it writes all these permissions or something, so this time I waited and just let it go for about an hour. ..an hour later, and still the same thing. So I rebooted and figured I'd give it one more go. However, this time when I got to the darwin prompt, instead of hitting f8 + boot from cd, I let the 8 seconds go by and it booted (from somewhere..?) automatically. This time it went straight into the configuration for osx! Sweet! I thought I had it going on. However, when I took out the cd and tried to reboot to test, it would not work. No go. Put the cd back in, and everything works fine, perfect leopard. So that's my issue, if anyone has had this happen before or has any Ideas i would greatly appreciate the help. Sorry if theres other threads out there about this but I couldn't find them, as keywords "leo4allv2 only boot from disk" just pulls up boot disk info, etc. Thanks again everyone, sorry I wrote a book but I wanted to be specific. -H Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98629-success-sort-of/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatchling Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I do not think setting the partition to active is the issue as I have done this many times. Everytime I set the mac partition to active and try to boot I get a "PBR3" is 'bad' type error message. I believe it is set to be a primary partition but I did notice that when I went into DISKPART it was not listed as primary. Thanks again for your help I will keep searching.
