Reburning DVD with 4X ( eariler was even lower 2x ) solved the problem

Even my inbuild keyboard & touchpad are working along with my sata hdd; which is also recongnized during installation

Will do installation tonight & post result here late night (Indian Time)

[cite] prateesh:[/cite]I downloaded the 3.35GB .iso read the Release notes.
For some reason, it says that this image is part of the Leopard Developers Preview.
Is this the version that all of us are using or is it some prerelease software thats been out way before t?
When downloading the torrent, there were 71 files that were stored in a folder named "Documents."
Upon extracting the .iso, the DVD was a whopping 4.7GB disk.

Please let me know if this is what everybody is using for 10.5.1.release of zephyroth

And will QE/CI will work on nVidia geforce go 6150 ?

I like where the Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD Revision 2 is heading with all of the bug fixes and compatibility issues. Instead of paying Apple, we should be paying Zephyroth instead for all of his hard efforts. Yet at the same time, if my migration to Apple works for me, I will definitely hit the green button, and purchase a new Macbook Pro instead. :-) It Feels like PC's (for Windows-based) are going through a renaissance and are rejuvenating, haha.

FOR: zephyroth - and all others...

Don't worry, read the wiki about the 1 minute left installer freeze bug.
Also it's common for Rev.1 to install no bootloader!

It's rather easy to fix the bootloader, it's well documented in this forum,
all you need to know / tell me is whether you used MBR or GUID.

#6 02-01-2008, 03:26 AM

I dont think rev 2 beta installed the bootloader on mine.. MBR - i get blinking cursor after the install

xlslx · #7 02-01-2008, 03:46 AM

i had created 1 partition using HFS+ Journaled and GUID Table in the Options Tab - then i installed the whole OS w./o. French Language.
can you tell me where i cand find a solution?

megaargon1 · #8 02-01-2008, 08:16 AM

When is Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 AMD - Rev. 2 going to be available online? Is Zephroth uploading the image right now? I am so eager to work this out. Please tell me, thanks.
