Deomitrus Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 SATA DVD drive might be the problem. Try an IDE drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadAtBirth Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 i've tried both IDE hdd's and dvdroms, and sata for both also. i built this box just for this purpose :s edit: just did a silicon image addon sata controller card. did rd=disk0s1 the installer found the drive during init. then gets to "mac os version: not yet set" and then "kernel version: 9.2.0 " then stops there. doesnt do anything. argh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
