Woodwater Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've just installed the 10.4.5 patched CD and that went ok. But I've yet to boot it. Right now I'm just trying to start it with: rd=disk0s1 straight from the "F8" options menu. I've also tried: rd=disk0s1 idlehalt=0 platform=acpi and x86pc.... when I verbose (-v) i see it fails with this: IORegistryEntry :.... ReservedIORegistryEntry 23 called it also talks about: kext[29] I've got the open darwin 8.0 something cd but I'm not sure I wanna mess with it. Does anyone have any idea what I could try? I have: Nforce4 mobo amd 64 3000+ and i'm installing MacOS on it's own IDE HD. THanks in advance!

Woodwater Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've just tried with -f and -s for "safe mode" and "single user mode"...to no avail... Will try with the Open darwin cd again...maybe I didn't install the boot loader correctly. This is getting frustrating. Will post something if it works.

Woodwater Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Yup! That was it...posting this from inside OSX. Install the 10.4.5 patched DVD. fix the boot loader with Open Darwin 8.something. Boot it up! What amazes me is that MacOS starts under 1 minutes....

1tym Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 How do you fix the boot loader with Darwin? Sorry, I'm really new to this. I had it working at initial startup, but rebooting and shutdown seemed not to be working at all, it wouldn't reboot after i hard reset my computer either. I'm using the 945G chipset. I'm downloading Darwin right now, hopefully it will work!

Still cannot boot into OSX it is @ the Darwin Console all the time.
