Hi

I'm trying to install Leo4All 10.5.4 version on my ASUS U2 notebook, I boot from the dvd, press f8 and then a lot of commands start to appear, so fast I can't even read them, then the machine just reboots and starts all over again... any idea what could be wrong?

Can you tell us the specs?

here you go

Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology
- Intel® Core™ Duo Processor ULV U7500
- Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset
- Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN or Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
11.1" WXGA 1366 x 768 LED backlight
100G PATA 1.8" 4200rpm HDD
2 so-dimm 4096MB, DDRII-667 DRAM support

I also have tried Idneb and it gets stuck just before it says no mac os version installed... the hard drive keeps spinning and thats it..

You will have some problems with that video
Theres working in progress with Wireless
Everything else looks great

Try this in darwin:

cpus=1 -v

Post back the errors or where it get stuck, good luck

ok thanks let me try that... until know It has gone further than beyond... could this be true???

will keep posting


... ok I talked to fast...

it run the installation process then the screen got white, then kind of gradient and now I'm stuck on a half black, half gray white screen.. and nothing happens... are these the video problems you were talking about??

Customize your installation, try with GMA965 if is there or X3100, try to disable onboard stuff in the BIOS like LAN and Audio, also check if you have XD BIT support, have to be around the power or energy settings, enable too, good luck.

So no errors to report after using cpus=1? or where it get stuck?

one error, can't mount hda/dev/02

probably the hard drive

customize my installation?? GMA965 if is there or X3100?? any guides for these two?? I will disable everything on bios and then try again...

You dont need a guide to do that, go back to the installation, format you should choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled). After partitioning, quit Disk Utility to return to the Leopard Installer, then before press install you'll see a button called "customize" where you can pick your drivers, kernel and patches, is the the left corner...

ok... I haven't got to that screen... when the machine finish to load all the installers. a white screen appears and fades away... like when you used to install older versions of linux and you didn't have the video driver....

I will try to disable the things you told me in the bios and see if I can get to that screen...


ok disable everything you told me and can't get to that screen.. I get stuck on the point where a blue screen appears, then it turns white, then it degrades and then a get half white screen and half black, like if the resolution or the refresh rate were wrong..

the only error I seem to find using -v is
"vga family specific matching fails"

any ideas?

Yeah this is a hardware issue, what leo4all vrsion are u using? try with ideneb the latest one, good luck
