Alright heres the story...

I just built a OSX86 with the following items:

Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L
Core 2 Quad Processor Q9300
Deskstar 500Gb HDD
samsung spinpoint DVD

RETAIL: Leopard Disk

I use the 132 bootloader to boot the system and then drop in the Retail disk hit enter and then enter again, it starts to work and I get EBIOS read error: Error 0x32 Block 16432736 sectors 64 comes up x 4 times

then some more waiting and the apple screen pops up with the gray progression wheel, then i get the mac space wall paper and pinwheel but nothing after that it just keeps spinning.

ive tried with "-v" and with "-v -x" all methods end up with the same results.

can anyone point me in the right direction please.

thanks for your time.

Here is a Screenshot of -v right before it goes to space splash screen and hangs forever.



once again Im using the above hardware with the 132 bootloader and a OSX10.5.4 Retail disk i just purchased from the apple store.

My HDD is not formatted either is that maybe the issue? I do not own a mac so i cannot format the HDD ahead of time or can I?

Did you add your own kext to the 132 bootloader? you can try with this one, good luck
