Thanks for the response on setting the boot partition active, but now I am getting this error:
System config file /Library/Preference/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist not found.

Any ideas ???

I'll post my results later!
Oh, and, about the sound, that WELCOME screen, have sound ? because I have a ALC883 (which was supposed to work), but i didn't hear any sound...=[
About the LAN, i'm worried that it won't work....cause i dont know exactly which driver to select over the install.
Thanks again!

Thank you shaq!
But I think this .pkg is already "builded" over the zephyroth .iso. Thats why i've selected it...I dont know..

try

touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

First you could try to see if the files there on the volume, If its not you could copy it from the DVD after booting from disk

Good Luck

I tried to install it (MB ASUS Amberine, AMD 3700+, 1G memory, int video ATI 200, HDD WD 80G)) Yesterday it partitioned hard drive and started installation. This morning it say "Installing, remaining time - 54 hours" now it promises 51 hours. Seems like it is doing something (HDD is active, some times it read DVD). Nevertheless someone wrote it took 20 min. to install. Therefore could someone tell me WHY the installation process takes 3 days. Thanks.

my 10.5.1 was 20 mins + dvd boot time then about 10 mins to run scrips then full boot

Im presume this will stay the same or be less.

You may have some sort of hardware incompadability issue.

Maybe check you bios settings, then try again

Good luck

i have the same mother board and video card.. i have the same problem black screen the cursor and nothing happen ... now i am writing this from leopard ... what i did was ..

boot in single user mode (-s)

type /sbin/mount -uw /

passwd root

i put the pass i want

touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone

reboot

when leopard reboot the username is root and the pass is the pass you type later ...

and all working fine and very fast ... the audio work with azalia ... no network but i install realtek drivers from the realtek page sometimes works fine sometimes i have to reboot because the wireless never conect..

I have the same looping black screen & cursor problem. I went into -s mode but when I tried doing the passwd command it said command not found.

The same thing happened to me with the previous release. Am I doing something wrong?
