Hi folks,
I just upgraded my early 2006 Intel iMac from Tiger (10.4) to Leopard (10.5), using an upgrade "CPU Drop-In" not-for-resale disk that I purchased from eBay.
Now, I can't boot from ANY CD, when starting/restarting, holding down the 'C' key. I can boot from the Leopard disk IF I mount it first, and then double-click the installer, which of course prompts you to restart the computer to initiate the installation process. I also cannot boot into 'safe' mode, open firmware, etc. And no, I haven't disabled booting into these modes.
I can burn CDs and DVDs just fine, using Disk Utility or Toast. Clearly it's not a hardware issue.
I would like to test some Linux Live CDs, and eventually install one (maybe two!) on a separate partition. I had been doing this in 10.4 without any problems.
What's going on here? Does this have something to do with the switch to GUID partition scheme for 10.5?
Thanks!
