Booting from HDD gives me "Chain booting error_" ("_" is blinking).
Tried to make partition bootable with fdisk and i only have "_" blinking.
Leopard is running fine once loaded, but Darwin is missing so i have to boot from dvd with
mach_kernel rd=disk*s*

Is it possible to install without EFI or is it required?
Skipping EFI during install may cause the problems i'm having with Darwin?

[cite] freshcuts:[/cite]Hey guys!
I downloaded the release yesterday and it installed like a charm.Thank you to those that made it available and to Zephyroth!!
My only problem is that i cant get my sound to work.
I have alc850 on a asus a8n-sli premium with the latest bios.
System profiler says no device...
I installed zephyroth 10.5.2 with ac'97 option once and a second time with azalia.
None of them worked.
What can i do to have sound?
Thank you
I have same motherboard and ac97 working fine. System profiler says no...

Hi everyone, installation went fine, and I was able to boot into the operating system with the DVD left in. However, upon taking the DVD out, I restarted and I was unable to boot back into the operating system. I tried setting up installation with MBR the first attempt and GUID the second (with it's own designated bootloader for each install attempt). However, neither of them were able to boot. Instead, I was left with Boot from CD screen.
I tried making the partition bootable by following the directions I used for my previous installation (10.5.1), but that did not work. Instead, for GUID, after the Boot from CD screen came up, it felt as it was going to finally boot, however, it went into a blank screen and the system restarted.
Another problem I am having is the fact that when I go into About this Mac, I can't see my processor info as others have said it will. I had to change that information manually. Please let me know what I should do. As always, I thank you very much for your support.

In third party drivers i installed ac97, chipset drivers (nforce4) and geforce kexts and nvinject to my 8600gt.

System Profiler says "No Built-in Audio" but System Preferences>Sound> says Line out AC97Audio (PCM) and all sounds working fine.

I'm having the same issue. It seems the boot loader never installs.. Once I fix the boot problem, I am left with no boot loader... I was able to get into the OS once, and that was with the DVD in the drive and no video drivers installed. I then proceeded to install the graphics update but before I could fix anything the HUD telling me to reboot shows up an I had to do a hard reset thus starting my problems all over again....
