espycious Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 When i try to install osx86 10.4.4 I get an error, before the disk even boots. I have gotten it on two diferent computers, two virtual machines, and have used different iso's. The exact error says (on vmware): Memory allocation error (0xdeadbeef, 0x0) My pc specs are: AMD Athlon 64 FX 57 4gb Patriot RAM two 300gb SATA HDD's Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe nForce4 Motherboard nVidia geForce 7800 ultra 256mb video card 550 watt power supply My laptop spec are: AMD Turion 64 650mb Corsair 80gb IDE HDD ATI Radeon Xpress 200m video card 250 watt power supply The computers should be powerful enough to run OS X and the iso's should be ok, so does anybody have any idea as to what is wrong?

makaveli559m Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yea I get the error on mine, mine is an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ and 2 gigs of RAM. I cant install any MAC OS, each time I get up to the dvd boot up screen I get an memory allocation error message. I was wondering maybe because one of my RAM sticks is not PC5300, but that cant cause an error like that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
