10.5.2 booting hangs at AppleACPIPlatform, unless disc in drive...
Leo runs fine if I boot with the disc in the drive, but naturally I don't always want that. I tried various standard approaches, but none seem to work. I ticked 'MBR boot' during install as this is how it was set in 10.5.1. Any ideas where…

Anyone with thoughts on this?
There is probably a simple fix, but I'll be damned if I can find anything relevant on Insanely mac... even searching is a big huge P.I.T.A.
@roisoftYou need install the EFI bootloader for MBR.

I even have since tried installing on a freshly formatted partition, but it seems even worse... i cannot get to darwin now...

I'm running out of ideas here... any other ideas to help?
