setup Installer

If i try to install iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Universal PPF5 (Final) or XxX OSx86 10.5.6 leopard final v2

I get the flowing error

those are the systems where i tink you can choose kernel, with these i am not able to even run the setup installer.

Other systrems like iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 and iATKOS_5i i have no opption to choose any kernel only patches and some fixes and and some drivers.

With Kalyway 10.5.1 the setup installer runs for some secs and then my pc restarts it self.

for some reasons am not able to install any MAC OS X on my PC, please help!

let me describe you I do the installation.

put the intaller DVD Kalyway 10.5.1 in the DVD drive and restarts my PC, hit F8 type (-v) hit enter, some infos apers HFS+… something like that and suddenly the system restarts it self, and the boot screen with count down apers again.

actually the installer go further where one can erase the HDD or start the terminal…

"boot setup your account" i dont know how to do this please say how?
Is it possible to start the ToH kernal right from start where the count down runs for F8.

waiting for further instructions!

Field Note #1 @erick2red 2009-05-07

try out kalyway 10.5.1, then after install, upgrade to 10.5.6 (or wait to upgrade to 10.5.7 (mac life.com/article/news/1057_hitting_your_macs_friday))

Field Note #2 @erick2red 2009-05-08

What kernel are u using, with Kalyway 10.5.1 you need to use tohkernel, cause vanilla won't boot.

Field Note #3 @erick2red 2009-05-08
I am not able to start the setup programm.

Which setup program, the installer DVD or the account setup?

if is the account setup you could try at boot prompt type TOHKERNEL
the you boot with tohkernel, if after you type this and hit Enter key, the system reload to the boot prompt, then you don't have tohkernel installed, you need to reinstall Kalyway and check tohkernel on the options screen.

Field Note #4 @erick2red 2009-05-08
With Kalyway 10.5.1 the setup installer runs for some secs and then my pc restarts it self.

That's the point, The pc reboot itself cause the installer finished or not,
then you need to boot setup your account, and start fixing…If after reboot you can reach account setup cause the pc restart itself in a reboot loop, you need to load tohkernel like i said before.
Already saw the screenshots, and don't know so well why is that. By the way, you need to post more specifically your hardware specs, you could your signature for that

Field Note #5 @erick2red 2009-05-09

ohhh, sorry my mistake.

setup your account

It the first steps after the install disk reboot the pc.

are u sure the DVD it's right burned? cause i had a pc like that, and did the thing with a Kalyway DVD 10.5.1.

Is it possible to start the ToH kernal right from start

Can't remember now if the Kalyway disk has tohkernel
but you could try, hit F8, then type "tohkernel -v" if it boots, then go ahead.
if its not try XxX distro, there some post → over here about it.
Also could try Retail/boot132 method.
