Timmy10 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hai! First i will explain my problem: Everytime i try to install a version of OSX it does'nt work, i tried tiger, leopard and difrent versions of them (8!) and every time i get the same problem, a blinking cursor. And everytime i get it i try this: Fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 update flag 1 write quit reboot What could go wrong? Grafix drivers? Boot 'drivers'? My hardware list: Asus p5wd2 permium pentium D 805 3 GB ddr2 nVidia 7600GT 265MB What could go wrong? Is there a versoin witch should work with my PC? My thanks are great And only 1 HD BTW..

jdxxx Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 You need to read for hours and hours to figure most stuff out. You are running a Pentium D -- that means you will NOT be able to use most of the Leopard installs, which will work only with Core2Duo cpu. The original Kalyway 10.5.1 distro should work on your setup -- BUT you must NOT attempt to use the vanilla kernel. DO NOT check vanilla kernel on intall. Read all the posts associated with this distro. You will not be able to update to 10.5.2 or above (due to your Pentium D). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy10 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hmn ok, ok. Is'nt Tiger a option? Because Leopard would be too dificult for me. And what type of Tiger distribution shoul i get? Wich guid's did you used for your pentium D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiTzBiTz Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 update flag 1 write quit reboot Yo bro..you done it wrong... It should be like this fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 p -------------> display the partition f 1 -----------> flags the partition that you want to make as bootable u ------------> update the value w ------------> write the value y ------------> As "YES" after we enter w to confirm the value q ------------> Quit as we save all the thing we made. Hope that help you.. reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
