New Mini 10v, NBI 0.83, OSX 10.5 Leopard, "You need to restart your computer" -
01-29-2010, 06:14 AM
The title pretty much sums things up
 But here's what's happening: I just got my new Mini 10v today. I bought it in order to be able to install OS X Leopard - 10.5 (I need that to run a particular software), and I have a 10.5 retail DVD. I didn't do anything with the BIOS, so I believe it still has the A06 version, but it seemed like that was fine. I followed the instructions in the second guide on mechdrew's site, using the first method for Windows - using the ImageWriter software (assuming I am remembering correctly - not by my computer now), and the version of NBI linked from there - 0.83. I got the bootloader screen, and selected the OSX Install DVDm but right after the Apple logo appears, I get a screen that says that I need to restart the computer. I tried it twice, and both times got the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!! |

@isaacl: its the A06 BIOS. Downgrade and it'll work fine.

I found this - gonna try that:
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell...g-windows.html Hope it works... Thanks! ---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ---------- I downgraded to the A05 BIOS, and I got the same thing again  I tried booting it with -v, and it says something about Intel Power Management at the end... Any other ideas? |

Wrong way!!! -

you DONT have to downgrade the BIOS since NBI 0.8.3 is released.
Thats only for previous versions of NBI. The mistake must be another. Have you make your bios settings before install? Do you have run the netbookmaker on the usb drive. read carefully the guides on osx.mechdrew.com and i suggest you, it works with a06. Good luck |

I followed the guide...
Still having issues. I'm going to try using the alternate method... |

I was running it from Windows XP.
I'm going to try switching the flash drives - maybe that will work better. |
