Upon doing this and taking out the boot disk there is a static grey screen with the apple logo, nothing else, anyone got any ideas on how i can get leopard to load, it is on the hard drive but will not load. "I was so close!!!"

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help please.

What distro are you trying to install? How did you customize? did you try to boot using one core? did you install with AHCI SATA Support?

Hi thanks for your reply, I am using kalyway 10.5.2

I am currrently in the customize section

I cant see the AHCI Support in there, any ideas?

I am also not sure what kernals to use, the only one ticked in the kernals is kernal_9.2_sleep

The AHCI should be enable it on the BIOS, also enable XD BIT, with your processor you should install Vanilla Kernel

Thanks Icchansan, done that now, but now cant find XD Bit to enable in bios, any ideas? sorry to be a pain!

Sometimes its called Execute Disabled or NX Bit, have to be there around advanced options or Power Options

Ah I see, IDE... may sure its set as Master, and your DVD Drive as Slave, with the jumper not cable select, and if you can, put them in different ide cables and try again... if kalyway seems not to be working, try with another one.

Hi,

I am having exactly the same problem too, using Kalyway 10.5.2 distro. Installed using default options.
Here are my specs:

Intel E7200 Core2Duo Processor @ 2.53 Ghz
XFX nForce 6 motherboard
2 GB Kingston 800Mhz System RAM
160 GB Hitachi SATA HDD

I have enabled AHCI in BIOS, but still i cant get it to work. The hard disk drive is connected as 4th SATA.

This is my third install with no luck.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards.
