Hey guys. I have been having trouble since yesterday on intalling Max OSX Leopard 10.5.6 onto my Intel Core i7 with an EVGA X58 Mobo. I have burned at least 10 different Boot-132 disks and all of those had the voodoo kernel in it. The problem I am having is that I can't get past the 2 main boot-132 menu's.

It goes to this one first:

*except without the startup volume*

and then it goes to this screen:


after I click enter on both screens with the OSX disk in it just goes back to the previous screen.


Can anyone help me figure this out?

*These are not my screen shots*

It's likely that your DVD drive is not supported by your BIOS, or however you want to call it. The essence is plain and simply that you cannot install this way with your current hardware. But that's not an issue. Just restore the Leopard DVD onto a partition on the hard drive, then boot from the CD and enter "80" or "81" as the drive id.
If you don't know how to restore the DVD onto the hard drive: Install some hacked distro that works for your mobo. Or do it on a mac. You may be successful restoring to a 8GB usb stick on a mac and then using that on the x58 machine. The tool to use is "Disk Utility". Insert Leo DVD, click on it, then click the tab "Restore". Drag the DVD to the source field and the disk partition or usb stick to the destination. Click restore.
Good luck.

So you recommend me to install iDeneb or something and then I don't get it?

Your problem is swapping the discs. iDeneb boots like any linux live distro using eltorito boot, no swapping.

I was installing with the retail disk. That is why I was swapping.

Exactly. And because your approach requires swapping, it might never work given your hardware. Don't take it personally, just use a work-around.

Is iDeneb safe? The last time I installed it (10.5.3) onto a Intel P4 it fried the motherboard within 3 weeks. Do you think it will happen again?

Read again what I suggested You will use iDeneb for less than an hour, only to bootstrap retail. But you may as well take XxX, iAtkos, or iPC. It's up to you.
