I got Leopard 10.5.2 Rev.1 and installed it on my M2N-MX SE Mother Board with SATA disk.

It was the first installation that find my sata disk during install proccess, i've installed it a lot of times yesterday but no success on boot.

On last installation, i selected at Customize,
* All Thirdy part drivers
* No kernel (9.1.0 and 9.2.0)
* MBR bootloader
* Additional Fonts
* Brazillian Portuguese language pack

I've created partition with MBR scheme on a full HD dedicated to macos. It installed perfectly, but when i booted it, it show a message to restart the computer, booting with -v i can see AppleNForceATA couldn't find my HD :(

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a solution for it? It's the 8th image i get and try to install, i really hope i can do it :)

Thank you in advance and congrats for the job.

I had no success yet here, looking on -v boot i saw a message talking Medevil's nforce detect my chipset, and my sata hd too

AppleNForceATA::scanForDrives found 1 units

but after it say the oposite

AppleNForceATA::scanForDrives found 0 units

and stops the boot proccess. I know the correct driver is available on DVD because it boots to install, find disks, installs with no problem, but maybe i'm doing something wrong and i have no idea how to fix. I search a lot on google, and didn't find a solution.

Do i need to select 9.1.0 and/or 9.2.0 kernel at customize? I remember to select both one time and machine didn't boot, got an HFS+ partition error message, and just this small message.

Anybody can gimme some help?

This is normal on my system but doesnt stop boot, think your problem might be something else.

Thanks for the information lanxxx,

Let me get out of FreeBSD and try to boot leopard again to get more information and post here :)

Here i'm again, i've collected other error messages, actually, the last ones

kextd[10]: IOKitWaitQuiet() timed out waiting to write kernel symbols
configd[33]: InterfaceNamer: no network interfaces, could not update platform UUID

Anybody have idea what's happening here?

Thanks in advance

Ianxxx 02-24-2008 10:44 PM

again I get those same comments every time I boot into the system I am using now so Im guessing thats not the problem

Ianxxx 02-24-2008 10:44 PM

do you get the EFI message at the start of boot up?
or can you boot if you use -x

rbgarga 02-24-2008 10:49 PM

after these messages nothing more happen, it just stops silently. I can boot in single user without problems, but after exit it stops the same way.

Just one more question, my system is an Athlon64 x2, on a M2N-MX SE motherboard, must I select a kernel (9.1.0 or 9.2.0) on Customiza at installation time? I'm asking because i didn't do it, just de-select all.

rbgarga 02-24-2008 10:51 PM

just now i saw your last message, IIRC, there is EFI message, and i never tried -x, but i can do it and back with answers fast... :)

Ianxxx 02-24-2008 10:54 PM

okay I would try -x, also personally I would have installed the 9.2 kernel.
But I wouldnt have thought it would make that much difference, to you booting or not
