I have problems with installing Leopard Zephiroth 10.5.2 rev1 for AMD and would appreciate any suggestions on how to continue. I have reviewed a lot of other threads but nothing has helped.
My hardware: Asus A8N SLI Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1GB RAM 2 SATA HDDs 1 ATA DVD 1 ATA CD-RW M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card (I suppose it won't work but it's in the computer anyway, maybe I should remove it?) I install including setting up my disks as: 2 partitions on each of my 2 SATA disks. All partitions using Journaled HFS+ GUID boot Installation is on rdisk0s2 Customizes with no SSE2/3 kernel, drivers for sound and Nvidia graphics etc After install I reboot with the DVD still in the drive. (should I?) I get a gray screen where it hangs. I reboot again, press f8 and '-s' Now I try (found in other threads): cd /usr/standalone/i386 dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 bs=512 count=1 (OK) dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1 (OK) /startupfiletool /dev/disk0s2 ./boot_v8 (error saying something about unable to unmount cleanly) I also tried booting without the DVD but then the computer will not boot at all so I suppose the Leopard installation is not active yet. I also tried the permission repair routine but it fails because I can't find the sudo command. I seems not to be in the search path. |
Ooops, should be boot problems of course.

Boot up with dvd
unmount any partitions on that disk with disk util then do as above cd /usr/standalone etc etc.... |
Thanks lanxxx. I did what you said and now I managed to do the "cd /usr/standalone..." routine. The problem is that I still can't boot. If I boot without the DVD notinh happens. If I boot with the DVD in the drive but don't press f8 it will start booting from the HDD. First I get the white Apple screen, then there is a quick flash of the "multicolored ball" and then a gray screen then black then gray then black and so on, i.e. nothing else happens.
Any suggestions how to continue? |
for you boot you need to use fdisk command
check http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues after you can try to boot with -x it is safe mode for the loop you can try the activation commands they are listed http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues its the giving it a root passwd and jumping the setup |
