Hello,

- installation stuck while setup ist at 1 min resttime; installing a secound time without formattig Leo partition didn't help
- one time I've chosen some kext's (sound, graphics, etc.) ohne time I used to install Leo without any extra kext; nothing worked
- it doesn't matte if I chosse 9.1.0 or 9.2.0 kernel; no success
- I selected every time EFI MBR to install

At the end of installation, DVD stoops to turn in the drive and animation of loadinbar (the blue one) stopps.

My System:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Motherboard: MSI K8TNEO2-F V2.0 | ChipsetNorthbridge: VIA K8T800 Pro
RAM: 1024 MB (Infineon)
Display: GeForce 6800 GS (Asus V9999 Gamer Edition)
Lan:1000 Mbit Realtek 8100S


What can I do?

Move the mouse and see what happens. On my system it does permanently freeze. I have to move the mouse and the bar activates again and reaches its current stage in the installation.

stony;
I'm really having a problem installing and I had the same problem as you ("hangs at about a minute") . The wiki advice of re-installing didn't help. What did you do to get it to work ?

WinLinMac01 02-22-2008 07:46 AM

have you tried moving the mouse hard enough? This SHOULD really get the progress bar moving. Serious here. Works for me. =)

The "moving the mouse" thing does get results earlier in the install, but does not help when the system hangs at "about a minute".

@martguy: Afters several tries it worked.. I did nothing special.. maybe god was with me? :P

Sry.. but I can't tell you anything more than follow the wiki advice.

hi,

i had the same problem...
the only way to finish the installation is to install the efi bootloader before installation...

0) boot from dvd

1) Partition your hdd and format

1.1) unmount your disk

2) go to the terminal and install the bootloader...
cd /usr/standalone/i386
./startupfiletool -v /dev/diskXsY ./boot_v8

2.1) mount the partition

3) install osx without any bootloader

after installation when you boot from hdd you got the blinking cursor or not, i dont know why... i think the problem is my extern usb hdd but installation finish... =)

when i boot with dvd (rd=diskXsY) the system boots up without any problems and runs very stable but without lan and sound, i have to wait for running kexts...

system...
m2n sli deluxe
amd x2 4600
