Having two simple problems with new release, please help, thanks.

[WinLinMac01]

Hi everyone, installation for Zephyroth's new release went fine, and I was able to boot into the operating system with the DVD left in. However, upon taking the DVD out, I restarted and I was unable to boot back into the operating system. I tried setting up installation with MBR the first attempt and GUID the second (with it's own designated bootloader for each install attempt). However, neither of them were able to boot. Instead, I was left with Boot from CD screen.
I tried making the partition bootable by following the directions I used for my previous installation (10.5.1), but that did not work. Instead, for GUID, after the Boot from CD screen came up, it felt as it was going to finally boot, however, it went into a blank screen and the system restarted.
Another problem I am having is the fact that when I go into About this Mac, I can't see my processor info as others have said it will. I had to change that information manually. Please let me know what I should do. As always, I thank you very much for your support.

Please disregard the way I titled this discussion using the word "simple." These problems for "me, personally" are not simply.

Some users have stated that the partition label should be one word to make the bootloader work. Is this true?

Also, I noticed that while the installation files are loading in the first, I can hear my hard drive going into sleep mode and waking up again. Is this even normal? I didn't experience this with my previous installation in 10.5.1.

Yes the label MUST be in one word.

Hi Zephyroth, I labelled the volume in one word in the new installation with GUID. The same problem occured however instead of blinking cursor it shows h0 error. Also, when told the system to shutdown in the O/S, the screen shows hold tyhe power button for several seconds or press the reset button. Is this normal? Or can this be another problem?

Please let me know, thank you. I appreciate your support.

PS: About this Mac, is the processor info suppose to accurately show with AMD, etc? I had to manually change the info.

Zephyroth, I fixed the boot problem. Used one word but with MBR. Thanks

WinLinMac, as addition to the link: the search function of this forum software really isn't that bad, mate

I had a feeling that the information would automatically show the righy CPU info as Zephyroth has initially stated:

"CommentAuthorzephyroth CommentTimeJan 10th 2008 edited quote
I've almost finished a script which can do that.

So it will be applied during the installation of Rev.2. "

@rumar4u- Haven't seen megaargon online for some time. I wonder if he is still part of the forum discussion. He must have taken the Linux route. LOL

Yes WinLinMac I THOUGHT the script finished but it's not. I gave up the idea to create one because it's easy to do manually.
