EnchantedPlague Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I will start off with my computer specs. Its a upgraded acer Travelmate 2450 notebook. CPU: Intel Core Duo T2450 RAM: 1.5gb DDR2 Chipset/video card: ATI Xpress 200m Hard Drive: Hitachi 60GB 5400rpm Ultra-ATA/100 DVD Drive: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K16RS ATA Device External DVD Drive: LG External Super Multi DVD Rewriter Chipset: ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 Southbridge: ATI SB400 I got a kext for my chipset so that the dvd will boot and I can install Leopard. I used Kalyway 10.5.2. The instalation stalls at 27 min remaining so i let it run overnight and it finished (I think). When i boot up however the apple screen shows and the little wheel spins but then a no smaking sign comes up (exept without the cigaret) and it frezes. How do i get leopard to boot up? Please help. Also when formating the hd i used Mac OS Extended and i left all the options of default when installing. Thanks!!! I have tried -v anf -v -f and all i get is "still waiting for root device" Is there certain settings i should choose when installing to fix this?? P.S. When I install I use the default settings.
