Install works, setup, not so much...
I used LawlessPPC Leo 10.5.4 and the install process went rather smoothly, actually the smoothest I've seen yet... then it reboots, gets to the setup process and first off, doesn't detect my keyboard anymore.. I'm using a USB mouse/keyboard (other distros have detected this with NO problem).. I go through the process of hitting the Z and ? keys, to detect the keyboard, it continues a few pages through setup and then gets to the part where i can transfer files from another Mac etc. I don't have any files to transfer so i select the last option (no files to transfer or whatever it says) and hit continue... this is where the problem comes in... it sits there for about 30 seconds, doing nothing, then goes ALL the way back to "Can't detect keyboard"... anyone else have this issue ... or maybe know what's going on?!
it would be GREATLY appreciated!! thanks in advance!! Merc- |

This loop can be fix by getting a compatible pci lan card or usb ethernet, or http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.p...dpost&p=958124

This is what happens, I start with a prompt that is -sh-3.2# then i type that and all it does is goes back to the same prompt? Also if I boot with out the CD in it, it will go to the b0 error but its fine if I have the CD in there it will go to the 1rst time user or w.e. Another thing is, is it gives me an error about my keyboard at the begining. Last edited by jongill04; 07-01-2009 at 08:59 PM. |

This is known as the Account Creation Loop error.

Upon reboot you will login with root and the password you created. I recommend you set up your own user account right away and switch over to that so you don't accidentally mess the system up while in root (its so easy to do). |

during the install, did you opt to customize your install? if so, did you select the proper "drivers" for your hardware?
What kind of hardware do you have? ie. motherboard, wifi card, etc. This will make helping you a lot easier. |

Try extracting the IO80211Family.kext from the dvd and installing it manually. The package might be misconfigured somehow.
First show hidden files, the best way i found to do this without using a third party application is here. You then should be able to find the broadcom package on the install dvd in System > Installation > Packages. Extract it using Pacifist and install it using kext helper. Hope this works!
