I am trying to get 10.5.2 loaded on a drive in my laptop. The drive already has a version of 10.4.2 installed on it. When I try and load the 10.5 disk, it gets to a certain point and just stops. I have let it sit up to 30 min. Every now and then the HD clicks and the DVD spins up, but it never gets past this point.

forgot to mention that I am using ToH 10.5

Hi,

Press F8 on boot to enter in Darwin bootload and type:

-s

/sbin/mount -uw /

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMC.kext
cd ..
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
cd ..
cd Caches
rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*

Reboot using -v and see it boot fine.

Goodluck,

Edited: Try remove AppleSMC.kext too (command added)

Re-edited: my fail. Need space on cd = cd(space)..

I can get the first 3 commands to work, but when I do CD.. it says 'no such file or directory'?
