hello all, i have gotten the .iso working and OS X installed on a secondary disk. i want to thank zeph and everyone involved in getting this release out to the general public

my problem is that after installing i reboot into the DVD to access terminal to use fdisk in order to mark the partition active. after i enter f 2 it says partition disk2s2 permission denied i also try disk2s1 and disk2 and same thing. i am trying to dual boot with a 500 GB western digital SATA2 which has XP installed and a 200 GB SATA samsung which has the OS X installed. my further pc specs is as follows:

LANPARTY UT nForce4 Ultra-D
AMD Opteron 148 2.2 ghz single core S939
ATI 1800XL 256 MB
creative soundblaster extreme music

before install i selected the latest TOS kernel and the MBR bootloader

sorry if this is a horribly reposted question, thank you to anyone for their patience

Just got the 10.5.1 release to be stable yesterday, but just couldn't hold back from installing 10.5.2. Don't know if this was right, but I installed this directly over 10.5.1 w/ no formatting / erasing of the partition. It booted right up, no problem. Bootloader used "EasyBCD" - Very simple to setup. All previous settings still in place and all devices (except sound) working. Heck this update even fixed the cursor video distortion from 10.5.1 which I experienced. Thank you and nice work Zephyroth.

My system: If it helps -

OS: MacOSX Leopard 10.5.2 (Zephyroth)
CPU: AMD Opteron 1212 - 2GHZ
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 / NVIDIA® GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 chipset
Mem : 3 GB DDR
Graphics : ATI 128mb Radeon x300
Audio : Realtek ALC883 Audio Codec
Ethernet : Realtek 8139
Hard drives: IDE w/ Vista - SATA w/ Leopard
DVD : Atapi

Zeph how can I incorporate Medvil kext for sata support. Also any other things I should do (EFI , NVInject). Machine I will be using this DVD on is below. I am not a Hack or Mac noob so do not worry about breaking it down into noob speak. Thanks.

P.S I will edit the DVD on a Mac if I need to.

A64 X2 3800+ - A8N SLi Deluxe - 1 Gb - 7800GT 256Mb - 200 Gb SATA2 - Wireless G - 42" Panasonic HD Plasma

The same thing happened to me (if you read the previous posts of mine). I simply moved the mouse and the progress bar moved to the present state. I don't think it is really something to worry about. The installation is not freezing, guranteed. Hope this helps. :-)

[cite] Rajmahal783:[/cite]Has this happened to anybody yet, I have a HP DV2415nr Laptop, 1.8 gig turion x2 processor, broadcom wireless, NVIDA Geforce GO 6150 Graphics. 150 gig SATA Hardrive, 80 gig Maxtor USB Harddrive (Leopard). Ok my question is I go through the installation, select custom, 9.2.0 kernel, MBR-EFI, Broadcom Drive. Deselect, languages and fonts. Installation goes fine till the very end at the point of "about a min", its a half a inch from finishing, but then everything stops. The installation bar, dvd, and harddrive. Mouse still moves but I can't do anything. Ok so I do a cold shutdown. And then restart, I boot from the USB Harddrive and the Bootloader comes up and starts to load up leopard, And it comes up and everything seems ok. My question is as in 10.5.1 by zeph it freezing at about a min to go was a known issue and the solution was to go back into the installer not changing anything and letting it install the missing files. I didn't do that in 10.5.2 since it loaded. Should I go back and do that? Thanks.

I have followed the post about SATA install and I still can't get past "can't find root device". I put on a IDE HDD booted with the install disk, went to the terminal and mad the SATA partition active. I installed the Leopard and on reboot it wouldn't boot into the SATA drive. Any suggestions?

HDD - estern digital 500 GB
