Hi, I'm trying to install leo on acer laptop using Zephyroth cd (rev.1).
My specs are:
AMD Sempron 2800+ (SSE2 is supported)
ATI Radeon mobillity x600
ATA HDD
What I did:
- downloaded zephyroth iso, changed mach_kernel using the one posted on fariz.vie incorporation.net/pro/2007/10/31/leopard-on-sse2-howto/
- ran installation on VMware machine.
Problem: installation freezes on:
Got boot device = [...]
BSD root: disk1s3, major 14,minor 7
Jettisoning kernel linker
CODE SIGNING: cs_invalid_page: p=41[configd] clearing CS_VALID
Any ideas? or do I have to wait for rev2?

uhm ok , i'll try to boot up natively.
yeah, i've installed tiger - but i feel like it's time to change
Hi, I managed to install Leopard after changing mach_kernel on iso.
While system is booting, I'm still getting MACH reboot ( yep, I did copy again mach_kernel [/LeopardPartition/tempInstall/mach_kernel] - is this path right?)
nevermind, my mistake - it seems like macdrive did not wanted to show me mach_kernel on root directory - fixed system boot up just fine... BUT (there's always but ) .. but my keyboard doesn't want to work ... btw. it's a acer laptop.
ok, i stucked at "create account", it's 6am and i ran out of coffee long time ago

yupi! it worked! thanks roisoft!
now it's time to get graphics working (ati mobillity x600)
everything else worked out of box (sound,ATA drivers and so on...)

if i remember correctly Leopard doesn't work in vmware at the moment, try Tiger
a friend of mine had this too, on his Athlon 64 4000+. He tried it on his other system which is the same configuration (Asus A8N-SLI Premium Rev 1.02) but has an Athlon FX-57 there it was working. I also had problems with my 4000+, my 3700+ was installing without problems. Maybe some cpu types are having some problems.
being stuck at "create account" issue is now adressed in wiki as well
I'm having the same error code pop up in VMWare. My proc is sse3 though...
