I've instaled lawless 10.5.4 on my AMD and it looked to go well, untill I got to the:
1) Create an acct
2) Choose languaue
3) Inport from another mac
Then it loops through those 3 steps again and again.
any help would be great.
Gateway 4006254R ECS MCP61PM-GM AM2 MATX MOTHERBOARD
AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core
ATI Radeon HD 2100xt
Integrated Realtek RTL8201N 10/100 Ethernet LAN
Realtek Audo

What I've tried:
disable: nic in Bios
Boot with -x -f -s
This is as far as I've gotten as I am a n00b...

Solution: Boot using "-s" flag then type ->

/sbin/mount -uw /

passwd root <- Type any password you want

touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

reboot

then when log in screen appears, username:root, Passwd: "whatever you set it as"

@handz
You don't by any chance know what causes the Welcome Loop? I am familiar with the problem and the fix but never heard as to what causes it.

This is what im putting in
-s /sbin/mount -uw /passwd root "password" touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
but its sitting at
":/ root# appleNforceATA: found 0 units"
Am I missing something?
Thanks again
