Hi. I've tried installing Leopard on my G5 quad core (Intel cores) that was running OS 10.4 before. It said there was a problem with the BaseSystem, so I asked it to quit and reboot from the old OS, but now it's stuck in the Terminal application. I've removed the Leopard disk and inserted the original install disks that came with the machine, but it's not doing anything. All I can get is the list of 950 commands that I could type in.
Any ideas?
 
(intel cores)

as in the Mac Pro (i think) rather than PowerMac or whatever it was apple called the quad core machine built before they started using Intel processors.

The machines before they started using Intel CPUs where called PowerMacs. The first Mac Pros were Intel.
 
Thanks. That's what I thought. My machine is a Mac Pro quad core in that case. Sorry for the confusion.
