Styxie Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've tried to install osx86 numerous times now, but all have failed. In the end I want to dual boot XP with Leopard. Leo does not recognize my main 500gb Samsung drive, to I've installed an old 60gb drive for Leo, which he can see and install to. Also, I have an ASUS A8V-MX motherboard, and an AMD cpu. Here is my report so far: Kalyway 10.5.2: gets the acpi error message, I've tried to use tohkernel, but that just brings me back to the darwin screen. -platform=x86pc and -f don't work. Kalyway 10.5.1: cannot boot the DVD (but the DVD can be booted on my friends Intel PC) iATKOS v1.0i (with AMD patch): I've installed Leo on the small 60 gb drive using this DVD, but I can't boot into Leopard afterwards (blinking cursor). After I'd flagged the drive as bootable, I got into Darwin, but it rebooted immediately. So right now, I don't know what to do. I'm currently installed XP on the 500gb drive, so at least something will work, but I really want Leopard on there also. Can someone please help me?

kytzu Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 try to boot with "-f" option, it might solve the rebbot just after prompt. If not, just wait few days for Jas 10.5.3 distribution, maybe you'll be lucky with that.

Styxie Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the very quick reply =) but I don't think that will help, as I've already tried it. Anyway, I wondering wether Kalyway 10.5.1 is compatible with AMD, as it won't boot on my pc (but does on my friends Intel). Also, why can't I use the tohkernel option with Kalyway 10.5.2? Does maybe anyone know a tutorial where the guy has specs like mine?

Styxie Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for your reply him89, but I don't have that problem (yet..).

Styxie Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've now installed XP, and both version of Kalyway (10.5.1 and 10.5.2) still can't be booted on my computer. I'm going to install iATKOS v1.0i again, to see if I can use the chain0 method to boot it (using Microsoft's bootloader). One quick question though, should I install EFI (as an option when installing Leopard), or should I install the Darwin Bootloader (using the application on the DVD)? Or should I not worry about bootloaders and just install iATKOS and then do the chain0-thing?
