kingace Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I downloaded the Leopard 10.5.2 AMD SSE2/SSE3 install dvd. My system is: Asus a8n-vm csm (nforce4) AMD athlon xp 3200+ (sse3) sata hard drive ati radeon x800+ When i load the install dvd, it hangs on the following message (before the splash screen): "Extensions "com.apple.driver .AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi" I've tried disabling acpi in my bios, same error, and giving the install options Platform=ACPI and Platform=X86PC. Any suggestions? edit: someone moved this to tiger... im using a leopard install dvd, can this please be moved back to Leopard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/99873-install-dvd-hangs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingace Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 I unplugged a usb hard drive i had attached to the computer, and now the sata drive is the only drive. Now, the acpi problem seems to have gone away - when i boot with no options, or -x, i get the following message: "Still waiting for root device" And it seems to hang here.
