bally199 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi, relatively new to the forum but have had a fair bit of experiece with OSX86. I have just bought a Tosh Satellite C650D-12J laptop. Obviously, I'm wanting to install OSX86 on it. I've tried almost every version of OSX 10.5 (kalyway, ideneb, leo4all, iatkos etc) but they all hang on the IOAPIC part when it's loading from the disc. I've also tried iAtkos's new S3 10.6 install disc and it crashed on the same part. In the bios I've tried: Disabling cores, turning the SATA from APIC mode to IDE, disabling USB, changing SATA transfer modes, disabling power management and ACPI and turning the integrated graphics side memory off (what it steals from the system RAM). None of these made any difference. I've tried almost every boot switch (-v, acpi=off etc) and it still crashes. Am I doing something wrong or is the laptop at fault? Just looking for a bit of advice. Cheers! Specs: AMD Athlon 2 P320 @ 2.1ghz. 3gb DDR2 RAM Radeon HD 4200 w/ 256mb ram built in AMD 785GX chipset/SB800 southbridge Conexant CX20671 sound Atheros ethernet/wifi.

Sorry about that, I didn't think to post a screenie. It just hangs when it shows IOAPIC when its booting. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holliz Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Insert a USb Device (Thumbdrives are best, External HDD's seem to be hit or miss) Right after the IOAPIC thing pops up. Also: The Search function would have helped, probably... Results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
