FIrst off let me greet you all, this is my first post. I appreciate everything you guys do for the community.
Ok, I have tried Kalyway, Leo4all and I'm finally on Zeypher 10.5.2 EFI R2. Zeypher 10.5.2 EFI R2 is the only one to finally to install but it won't boot up. I just get a blinking cursor. Which led me to the fix:
sudo -s
fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX --->(X is the number of your HD, if you have only on its 0)
update
f X --->(X is the number of the partition where you installed Leopard)
w
q
rebootI have tried various combos but still cannot get it to boot. How do I know what number my hard drive is when doing the fdisk -e?
Also, based on my current setup am I using the best installer?
My Setup:
---------------------------------------------------------
AMD 64 X2 5000+
MSI K9N SLI v2 nForce 570
2 8800 GT SLI
IDE Master DVDRW Drive
IDE Slave Hard drive Hackintosh Drive
2 SATA Drives Windows XP 64

Sounds like the boot loader hasn't installed correctly, if i remember this was a common problem with Zephs release.
Easiest way to fix is boot using the install cds bootloader by leaving it in the drive and not pressing anything, even when prompted. Once booted up just download and install Chameleon (chameleon.osx 86.hu/)
