fffizzz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hardware Specs AMD X2 6000 Asus M2N-2 (Nforce chipset) 2 GIG DDR GeForce 8800 GTS 2 drives IDE drive1s1 OSX Drive1s2 NTFS SATA Drive2s1 Vista Drive2s2 NTFS Drive2s3 NTFS I started with Kalyway, but I couldn't even get the installer to run. So I downloaded Leo4Allv3final and it ran great, installed and everything. However, I got the dreaded HFS+ Partition error and solved that by booting into single user mode and marking that partition active with fdisk. Now, when I try to boot, I get the following... (this is even with the sata drive unplugged). Not sure what else you need, apologize as im a newb with osx86! Im anxious to get this going though because Ive fallen in love with OSX from my macbook pro. The options i chose ToH Kernel 9.2 nvidia kexts efi mbr forcedeath Install goes fine then i get what it shows in screenshot above. I then tried with -x for safe mode, and it gave me the gray crash screen (you must restart your computer). I then tried to remove the nvidia drivers by loading in -s and mount -uw / with no added luck.

fffizzz Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 Also, i removed the nvidia drivers as some people say that worked for them but no go. I also tried with -x and i get a kernel panic. Should i take a pic of that if it would help? Thanks guys.. so far, both zephiroth and the other one do the exact same thing, although with zephiroth I get the gray splash page with spinning wheel thing..

fffizzz Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I can't be alone with this issue here. lol I can't find anyone who is having the same problem though, and I tried what other people with same motherboard did to no avail.

fffizzz Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'll give it a shot, although I think I was doing that yesterday a couple times with no luck or change.

fffizzz Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Yeah, leaving the CD in didnt help, same results. Also, tried -legacy as an option with no luck.

jfielding Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 My OSX will only boot if the CD is in the drive. Can I resolve this?
