[Leopard] Gets to Apple logo screen after bootloader and reboots.. Loops infinitely

**DarkLord7854** · 03-23-2008 01:10 AM

So I've been trying to install Leopard (iATKOS and Kalyway) onto my laptop's HD and it just won't get to the install screen. It'll boot from DVD, do the Darwin load thing, flash the grey Apple load screen with the spinning grey circle thing in the center and reboot, either that or it stays stuck on that load screen forever with no disk/DVD activity.

It's starting to get highly frustrating, any advice?

Well, make sure you have the newest updates for iATKOS and try Kalyway, I had the same problem with iATKOS, Kalyway got farther. But there is an iATKOS v1.0r3 over at InsanelyMac, and a iATKOS v1.0r2. Search and try it.

Ah.. Thanks for the tip

Mm, tried the new iATKoS ones and it still just stays at the spinning circle with grey background.. Frustrating :S

Edit:

Works on desktop.. but it can't read my SATA drives..

Well, to be honest I have the same problem. I am doing it on my spare Toshiba Satellite A75, and with iATKOS would instantly reboot, but with Kalyway it would get the still waiting for root device error or a kernel anic. Still havent figured it out. Waiting for the people over at insanelymac to come up with an answer...
