I bought a notebook the last week ( Packard Bell Easynote BG45, dual core Intel 1,86 T2390 X3100, 2 GB DDR2 667) and I want to install Leopard. I had the first problem with instalation (Leo4all3, Leo4.1, Iatkos4a, Kalyway) and I solved it typing "cpus=1". With that I can install Leopard, but, when I reboot, the screen shows a grey apple with a grey wallpaper and It seems like as if it was loading, but It's hung. I tried with -x -f -v. Anyone can help me with my problem? I don't want to return VISTA! :'(

Thanks and sorry for my english
