Have a look at your HDD, get it out of your case, and check the Jumpers.
If it's set to slave, switch them to master and then try again.

You find a description for the correct slots on the top of the HDD.

Oh great, thanks Puttabong. So I'll plug them both in one port and set the hd to master, the rom to slave. And then I'll try again.
See you in a few minutes ...

A friend always set the 40GB-limit-jumper insted of the slave jumper as he wanted to set it to master ;)

I set the jumper as the intructions on the hd. My problem: My HD is now on Master, but on the Rom there was a jumper, too, without any instructions. I removed the jumper and now my Rom can't be detect (windos doesn't start to ... when windows is loading the crcdisk-driver, it freezes).
So where should be the jumper on the Rom plugged in?

The most dvd-roms are jumpered Left-Cable Select, Middle-Slave, Right-Master. From the back view, of course.

Alright thanks, so the jumper have to be plugged in the middle pin-section. BTW: What is "Cable select?"

A poor shit option, the best way for problems in sytems with multiHD-DVD :D

Alright thanks ;)
I'm back at MY pc. So should I try now with the tiger-kext-modified version, the viaata-kext version or the original version? ;-)

1- Original , 2. Viaata, 3.tiger , god luck. :D

Ok, I'll try ;-)

roisoft, naquaada, I LOVE YOU! (not really, but nearly)
My PC is in this moment installing Leopard. I tried it at first with the Leopard DVD with VIAATA-kext, 'cause I couldn't find the "original". I booted without any flags and he detected my hd. This day is like christmas - nearly better. ;-)

Stay tuned. I'll post about my success, when the installation is complete!

:-)

I whish u luck!

I am happy for you crawle, welcome to the jungle!!! :D

Ok guys. The Installation was successful. But when I boot, and it want to boot from the hd, it says "HFs+ partition error".
What does that mean?

// rdiskXsX: you have to know the proper partition names and replace them with X.
In my case, it would rdisk1s1, first HDD, and first partition, on which leopard has been installed, which needs to be made bootable //

1 -> Launch DVD
2 -> At boot prompt, type -s (single user mode)
3 -> Type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0
update
f 1
w (y)
q

4 ->
cd /usr/standalone/i386
./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdis0sX ./boot (X is your partition)

5 ->
mount -uw /
mount -t hfs /dev/disk0sX /Volumes

6 ->
bless -device /dev/disk0sX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> reboot

after that, you will fix the windows boot

boot over windows dvd

open command prompt and type

diskpart

select disk 0

list partition

select partition X (X=windows partition)

active

exit

bootrec /RebuildBCD

Add installation to boot list? (yes)

diskpart

select partition Y (Y=leopard partition)

active

exit

Hey, thanks. I'll do that.

hm, I used always fdisk -e /dev/disk1. I have two HDs in my system, the MacOS boot HD is Primary Master. The other one is a Mac Data HD, there's no Windoze.

I think that crawle wants a dual boot Win/Leo in the same hd

Yes, I want. I've done, what Puttabong wrote and now at boot it says something like: windows is broken, launch windows-dvd ...
But Leopard doesn't boot. What shall I do?

buy an IDE HD for OS X ;) Is the safest way.

Oh, I haven't seen roisofts instructions.
... will be in second ;-)

look my previous post..

Great. Now Leopard Bootmanager starts. I typed nothing ... -> kernel panic, I typed cpus=1 ... -> freezes after loading kexts, I typed -x ... -> loading kexts, after that reboot
!?

What does the Kernel Panic tell us? Make a Picture of your Screen, please.

GeForce kexts again? How about booting with or without -legacy? tried platform=ACPI or platform=x86pc? You can also combine the options.

Ok, wait ehh... a second ... or two. ;-)

boot with -s

and type

mount -uw /

rm -r /system/library/extensions/Nvdaresman.kext

Ok, the screen when I boot without any flag and with cpus=1

And the screen when I start with -x (part1)

And the screen when I start with -x (part2)

Okay, shall I do your instructions anyway?

No, it seems to be a different problem other than Nvidia...

Panic (cpu 0 caller 0x0036DAC7):"Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 88\n"@/volumes/disk1s2/leo_xnu-1228/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:2884

I don't have a SATA-Drive. I have a ATA/IDE-Drive. ...

When I start in -s mode, the screen freezes (e.g. the dvd-rom can't be opened).

Hey guys, what's up? Please help me. :-(
@Puttabong: So what should I do? Load another kext or something else?

No solutions at the moment, i´m afraid that you must wait to rev 2

if I were you I would try to install tiger , Jas or Uphuck release and install leo from tiger

Okay, I'll ask zephyroth for the Rev.2
Thanks guys ... :-(

I just tried to deactivate SATA in the Bios and now I don't get a kernel panic (either not when boot with -x) but it freezes (see picture above).
Maybe someone of you get an idea by this ...

what picture?

A question, How are the options of your Bios SATA devices, can you set your SATA to IDE mode?

Yes I can. And I can deactivate SATA completely (I did).
Should I try with SATA/IDE-Mode?

Ok, I'll try to...

Where is the picture?

Here, I tried to, but no success. Here's a fresher picture.

Ok, one little, little question: Until Rev 2 releases, I want to install Tiger, because it's compatibler and safer. I've got the Mac OS X 10.4.8 image by JaS. Should I just reformat my Leopard partition (to HFS+ again) and install Tiger? What's about a boot manager then? Thanks, for this non-zeph-question ;-)

Erase the leo partition and install tiger, maybe you will fix the bootloader after the install ok? but now that´s easy for you crawle..:D

No problem for ME ... I mean ... ME ... ;-)

Alright guys, I installed it successful (what a wondeful OS) ...
The first time, I booted without any flag and the configurator started.

Then I had to restart (loading, loading ...).

The second time, I booted without any flag and the apple screen appeared a second and the pc rebooted (the third time, too).
I started with -x mode (alright) and with -f mode (alright, too), but two things doesn't want to run:
- my internet connection doesn't work
- my second monitor (20" plugged in about a DVI) doesn't want to work (my 19" plugged in about VGA works) (at startup, the white screen and the apple logo appears on both screens)
I think that's it. All I tested was nearly fully working. ;-)
