Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.6 FULL Retail DVD Bootable ISO
Serge Moquin
Same problem here. When power is turned on log a appears starts to load two times unsuccessfully and turn off. Tried to boot in windows gets me a bit further, to the startup screen of windows but than also turns off. Tried to boot from original install disk, disk makes a bit of noise than the grey screen with logo appears and freezes but does not turn off. Reset Pram with keys and power cord cutoff to no avail. Tried apple hardware test but that freezes just before the end of the test, so I do not know whether it is a hardware failure. would be nice to get a reaction form an apple support guy as apparently more people have this issue.
You need to boot from the disks that came with your Mac, SL was released before the 27" iMacs so it cant boot them. Lion will be the first retail copy of OS X that will boot these macs. the copy of SL that came with your mac is 10.6.4 or something but the retail copy of SL is 10.0.0 it doesn't have the drivers for your mac to boot.
I've maintained a bootable external Snow Leopard drive as a precaution in the past. However, with Lion installed, selecting that drive on startup (option key) causes a kernel panic. The actual result is that the selection screen remains while command line text goes across the screen until the dreaded kernel panic wipe.
Then I thought I would try to run the SL installer from Lion, hoping it would allow me to select the external drive as the destination. No dice as the installer won't start, giving the message that it cannot be run.
Sadly, this is all a side project so I can run the stupid Intuit converter to recover Quicken 2007 files for Quicken Essentials to use. Apparently, one must know intuitively that you have to do that before you upgrade to Lion, becaues the fine folks at Intuit can't figure out how to read the old qdfm file...but that's another thread!
Yes, it is ridiculous how it is impossible to install Snow Leopard. I have two Snow Leopard DVDs: one that I purchased for a Macbook soon after it's release (10.6.0), and one that came with my iMac (10.6.4). Both of these boot up my Macbook (running 10.6.7) just fine. My SL 10.6.0 DVD mounts onto my iMac (Lion 10.7.0), but you cannot run the install. I attempted to boot from this DVD and got the infinite white screen and Apple logo, as some have reported above. The other SL 10.6.4 DVD will not even mount in Lion, and will not even show up as a bootable drive when I attempt to select it after holding alt/option on reboot.
I created a bootable external drive from SL 10.6.4 on my macbook. I attempted to boot from this drive, and got the white screen of death, except that this time I actually got the loading symbol underneath the Apple logo. After about a minute of attempting to boot, the Apple logo changed to a circle with a diagonal line through it (the "NO!" sign).
I took my iMac to the genius bar. They inserted SL 10.6.0, which would not boot. Then they determined that my computer had to run 10.6.4 and later. So, they restored an image of SL 10.6.4 onto my partition (not an install from an image, but an image of SL already installed). Hurray! Snow Leopard was successfully shoved onto my iMac!
I then deleted a third partition on my hard drive I did not need anymore, which somehow screwed up my SL partition (even though it said "Will not erase partition SL or Macintosh HD). Now I am back at square one, and I guess I need to take my flippin iMac back to Apple for them to do what I should be able to do.
That your iMac grey disc will boot the MB is a minor miracle. I doubt you could install from it though. And if you did, you may well find the MB will no longer charge or run from the battery; iMacs don't need the management software.
Now that you mention that, I'm not sure that I did actually BOOT my iMac from that particularly DVD. I did for sure on the 10.6.0 SL. It does mount, though, for sure. In any case, thanks for the uh....help??
If you get java script errors during update of OS X, replace the kernel(maybe in root or EFI, not sure) with the current (the OS X version you are on now) legacy kernel, then after update has begun, put the new for ex 10.6.8 kernel in.
On some AMD mobos such as my 890 series or maybe its just gigabyte 8xx mobos that if you update to the latest bios you get a root device error but not on the earlier bios versions, so go back to the FC5 Bios!
You MUST use the sata3 ports ( blue connectors on the mobo) on the 890GPA-UD3H mobo for osx, it doesn't like the SATA2 ports (the white connectors on the mobo) for some reason. This maybe the reason for some peoples root device error. Although you will still have SATA2 speed (3gbps).
Audio: ALC892 (partially working) Uses a modified VodooHDA, line out headphones and mic working for sure. VoodooHDA has to go in /S/L/E, i have my voodoo in the zip at the end will probably work for you.
Chameleon code has improved alot since RC4, fancy video boot files may not be needed. Dont forget to double check your disk0s1 etc make sure they are the right partition. disk0s1 is saying first HD, first Partition. The EFI partition is always the first partition but it may not be on the first HD.
Sirbow2 I have the same setup as you but I can't even install Leopard. Using my old computer with leopard I tried restoring the Snow Leo image to an external HD and then tried booting on my new computer but to no avail. I downloaded Hazard's iso and burned it but it wouldn't boot either. Basically when I choose the cd in the darwin bootloader a couple of lines load and then it reboots. I have the same mobo and cpu as you.
I did all of that and it still reboots after a couple of lines, even after I add all possible bootflags known to man. And I restored the retail dvd to an external hd but it did just rebooted so then I used my old computer and put in my new internal hd and then I restored to that and it didn't work on either my new computer or my old one. I'm worried im going to be stuck with Windows 7 =[
Ok I did everything you did and now when I get to the chameleon screen and choose the snow leopard hd it shows the apple logo for a brief second and then it restarts. I'm thinking kernel problem but I don't know considering I have the exact same mobo and cpu as you.

I have a late-model 1.67GHz Powerbook which was ruined beyond Disk Utility's reach, due to a frozen OS update that forced me to power down. I have no Firewire drives, Time Machine backup, blank DVDs, etc. All I had was a Leopard DMG sitting on my windows box and a 8GB USB drive laying around. I was successfully able to use this method to restore my computer and sanity!Here are some tidbits from my experience:-The USB had to be formatted as MACOS Extended, not Journaled. Otherwise, I only had 6.4GB usable space for a 6.7GB DMG file.-The restore step took about 20min for me, as did the OS installation (trimmed of language and printer driver options)-For me, the location of the bootable USB was /pci@f2000000/usb@15,1/disk@1. I mention this because the ",1" was easy to miss on my machine and was needed.-The BootX location provided in this post was spot-on for my 10.5.6 image.I can't thank you enough for the time and hassle you saved me! Also, it was fun using OF mode for the second time.hey guys!!!! after a few tries, I FOUND A SOLUTION. my powermac G5 is now on the nice 10.5.6 :)))HERE'S A GUIDE FOR ALL THOSE OF YOU, WHO ARE STILL STUCK WITH THE GUIDE ABOVE:1. if you are completly new and have no torrent downloader, download vuze. its a nice, small, free t
