Chances are 512mb RAM is too little for 10.5 Leopard or during hackintosh Mac OS X installation certain hardware options were not set up correctly.

The install went fine, but during the boot I only get the apple logo and that's it. The spec of my laptop are the same but I only have 512 Mb of RAM. Could that be the problem. Any suggestions ? Thanx Hi

To get around that to play .avi and other videos...what I did was install "CrossOver 8" or version 9, and run a Windows version of the VLC Player. This worked and I could play video of all types. As well Photoshop would not work unless you have QE / CI so again use CrossOver to run a windows version of Photoshop , earlier version of course like 6. Hope this helps. Hi Jacob,

I have read forum posts from before stating that it wouldn't work in 10.5.

You will need to be "root" user in the Mac OS X Terminal to do this. In the Terminal type: 1. sudo passwd root <-- Executing this will ask you for the password of your own account and then for the new password for the root account. 2. Once this is done type the following: su -m <-- This will change your user-id in order to become the super-user. You'll have to type in the password you just set in order to gain the previliges. If it was successfull the username from the end of the commandline will change from your username to root. 3. Once you've become root we can start to install the drivers. Type the following: rm -rf /System/Libary/Extensions/ATI* rm -rf /System/Libary/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework rm /System/Libary/Extensions.* mv Desktop/10.4.8-ATI9600Mobility.tar.gz / cd / tar xvfz Desktop/10.4.8-ATI9600Mobility.tar.gz Basically, after extracting you will need to make sure all the extracted files end up in the right place (/System/Library/) area. Hope it helps, sometimes installing drivers / kexts for Mac OS X is not straight forward. Mac OS X is based on BSD Unix after all.
