once it has rebooted and entered the installation, i get the message "it cannot be installed on this computer", i have created a new Raid Set, ive zeroed out the disks, only 10.6 or 10.5 server is allowed

I can see the restart button mentioned, but i cant get past the message that it cant be installed when it has booted up with the 10.6.4 server installation disc.

So far:

Copied installation cd to a hard drive and booted from it.

Created new raid set (RAID 5)

Zeroed out information on disks


10.5 server had no trouble installing

10.6 sl had no trouble installing


I used to have 10.6 server installed on the intended mac pro.

However i need to reinstall and it is not possible.



Any help would be very much appreciated

Mac Pro, OS X Server, 10.6.4

Where did you get the 10.6.4 install disk? Did it come with some other machine?

I ask because it sounds like that's the case - and it may only work with the machine (or, at least, model) it was shipped with.


However, if you have another 10.6 Server install disk, even an older version, just go with that and run Software Update after it's installed. The chances are you don't really want 10.6.4 anyway, right, but something later.
