| Only 1024x768 resolution 7300GT I've just got 10.5.2r2 up and running, after many hours of frustration, however I can only use a resolution of 1024x768 on my 7300GT. Does anyone know how I can fix this? During the installation, I selected NVinject, thinking this would… | Leopard 10.5 | 4,326 reads 2008-04-02 · 10 notes |
| SIGSEGV on boot After some screwing around, I finally got 10.5.2 rev2 installed on my system, but I am unable to get it to boot. First off, I had some problems with IOUSBFamily.kext. Someone in another thread told the OP to remove the… | Leopard 10.5 | 3,294 reads 2008-04-02 · 2 notes |
| How do I mount the installation DVD No doubt this is a very stupid question, but how do I mount the installation DVD? I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the OS X cli mount application--doesn't seem to work like those for other *NIX systems I've used, since… | Leopard 10.5 | 2,349 reads 2008-04-03 · 1 notes |
| 10.5.2 Hardware compatibility & First time install I'm planning on downloading 10.5.2 r2 and attempting to install it on my PC, when my monthly bandwidth limit permits (which will likely be never, since I'm restricted to 10 gig a month!) I've never tried this before and indeed, I've never… | Leopard 10.5 | 2,295 reads 2008-03-15 · 1 notes |

| Beginners: Ask here first “Fantastic; thank you, bajanboy Should be an interesting ride, regardless. Photoshop on UNIX = hot. I'll be sure to post how things turn out, and indeed I'll likely be back to ask many (stupid) questions before I have it up and running. I'm …” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-03-18 37,386 dossier reads |
| Beginners: Ask here first “I'm planning on trying to install 10.5.2 (r2) in a couple of weeks, when I have sufficient bandwidth to finish downloading the ISO. I'm after any advice or tips regarding the installation process. I'm particularly interested to hear from an…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-03-18 37,386 dossier reads |
| Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 Issue Discussion “Okay, I have an update. I just tried to boot the installation again, this time with -v cpus=1. I tried this twice and both times it halted with "Still waiting for root device." After this, I tried just booting with "-v" again. This time it …” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-04-02 35,425 dossier reads |
| Zephyroth Leopard AMD 10.5.2 Rev.2 Issue Discussion “Last night I tried to install this (Leopard 10.5.2 Rev2) for the first time and encountered a few errors.

| Only 1024x768 resolution 7300GT “I won't be able to help you, mrnegitoro; I'm far too new at this stage. What I will say is that maybe someone else will be able to if you provide more details about your setup. What distribution are you running (e.g. Zephyroth's 10.5.2 rev2…” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-04-05 4,326 dossier reads |
| Only 1024x768 resolution 7300GT “Wow, thanks for your quick response! No, I haven't tried that. I'm still really, really new with this (in case you couldn't tell). I got the impression all I had to do was install using the 'NVInject' option under 'Graphics,' but clearly I …” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-04-02 4,326 dossier reads |
| XCode ? GCC “Thanks, Puttabong... I'd already removed the CHUD kext's though I wasn't sure what packages may have failed to be installed, since the CHUD kext's caused a panic during installation, so I rebooted and ran the installer again, this time disa…” | Software & Kexts | 2008-04-05 3,696 dossier reads |
| XCode ? GCC “Thanks seren, I was just about to post something about this... I started to install XCode 3.0, but the CHUD kext's caused a kernel panic (kernel 9.0.0)… the installation of XCode didn't even complete before it crashed. I'll now run off and …” | Software & Kexts | 2008-04-03 3,696 dossier reads |
| SIGSEGV on boot “Okay, I have now resolved this issue myself. For anyone with similar hardware, try reinstalling without selecting a kernel. I believe this installs the 9.0.0 kernel, which works fine for me” | Leopard 10.5 | 2008-04-02 3,294 dossier reads |
