I just burned my DVD for OSX, and loaded it up. The Apple logo with the small animation came up and I can hear the DVD humming away, then it switches to a blue screen and just stops. I am trying this on an Acer Aspire 1642ZWLMi Laptop, Pentium M 1.73ghz, 1gig DDR2 533, Intel GMA 900. I am using MacOSX_10.4.6DVDPATCHED_Myz . Any help would be appreciated. I will let it sit some more and try again after.

 

 

EDIT: Ok i am in the installer at Select a Destination, but no drives are showing up.

Try connecting a monitor, a VGA dongle or the 2-wire trick: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?ac...ost&id=1522

It is working fine and installing right now. I went to disk manager and converted the partition and it is 30% done right now. Will update as I go along.

 

Edit: To clarify, the problem was just hanging up, not any kind of display issue. Sorry about the confusion

 

Edit: Ok so the Arconis OS selector doesn't come up on Re-Boot ?

[Yanks]

Ok so OSX installed, and then restarted, except the computer booted straight into Windows. If I go to Acronis Disk Director under Tools, OS Selector isn't a clickable option. Any ideas?

another success from germany.

 

I have succesfully installed macosx on my vaio FS315M

 

------------

Sony VAIO FS315M - Pentium M 740 / 1.73 GHz - Centrino - RAM : 1 GB - HD : 80 GB - DVD±RW (±R DL) - 802.11b/g - Win XP Home - 15.4" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA )

------------

 

I have used "MacOSX10.4.7.AMD-INTEL-(JaS)-ISO-Repack"

 

Everything runs fine, except the damn "intel 2200BG" wlan minipci card (does anyone have any ideas or workarounds ?) :-(

 

For the 1280x800 res of the nvidia graphics I used the "MacVidia" driver.

 

keep up the excellent work!

cheers from germany

I was finally able to boot into OS X.

 

I used the MacOSX_10.4.6DVDPATCHED_Myz ISO - BUT I did not install the 10.4.5 & 10.4.6 updates.

 

I cannot dual boot & it seems I can only have the OS X HD plugged in.

 

I have networking thanks to skge.

ok so I boot with the DVD and the mac logo comes up and the little rotating mac loading thing appears and then it just hangs.. and sometimes a little black and white error symbol will appear over the apple and sometimes it wont.. any suggestions?

[Rammjet]

sometimes a little black and white error symbol will appear over the apple

If you ran verbose mode (-v) you would find that it is reporting the error: "waiting for root device".

 

You need to make sure your optical drive is on the same ATA chain as your hard drive. Make the hard drive master and the optical drive slave using jumpers, not cable select.

 

If you are on a laptop and cannot change the ATA chain, then you will need to install using VMWare: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314

[Jermo]

yeah i ran verbose mode and saw that error but i still didnt know what to do about it.. i am on a loptop so ill get VMWare! thanks!!

[Yanks]

Ok so I am getting this screen after the really fast scrolling text seen in the Guide. Judging by the text it appears to be a Kernel Panic(?). If I type in -x to boot to safemode it does the same thing. Specs are:

 

Pentium M 740 1.73 ghz, Intel GMA 900, 1gb DDR2 533 ram, 10.4.6

so when i run osx install in vmware i get this error.. any ideas?

[dilnalomo]

@ cbmkgd: yo, sn8k's method does work. i had to fix it a little, but it works. acronis sees vista as XP, but it boots Vista correctly. try my guide here to see if it work for you.

Hello,

 

Can I do that even if my processor doesn't support PAE (while it supports SSE2, SSE3)?

 

Would it work with Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS) ?

If not, what should I use ?

 

Thank you

[dilnalomo]

i am pretty sure that you will need PAE support.

[Yanks]

I got OSX installed and booted into it. LAN port works, USB is recognized. Keyboard and trackpad also work fine. Wireless is not detected, nor is sound, but I was expecting that.

 

Laptop is:

 

Acer 1642ZWlmi

Pentium M 740 Sonoma

1gb DDR2 ram

Intel GMA 900

10.4.6 Jas

[Maine_Coon]

dilnalomo,

 

You are a genius.

 

Olease add 2 more success stories:

 

Dell 700m

 

Dell 9300

 

HotISO was used in both cases.

 

Both times XP was screwed, both times it was repaired by putting XP Install CD, booting from the CD, putting R for recovery and then "bootcfg /rebuild".

 

Anyway, my two laptops both have XP and OS X.

You lucky it didn't help me. I had to reinstall EVERYTHING from beginning. It works now. I notice one thing. OSX working very fast at the beginning and it slows down after few hours. Is it just me or it's true? And it sucks without network. My card is not supported. ADMtek AN983 10/100 PCI Adapter. Any workaround exist?

[Stellair]

Can't get it working. When I deactivate Os Selector and I activate in Winxp the Mac partition with the diskpart options under dos. And when I reboot I don't see the menu where I can choose the boot partition, instead it says "mbr error 1"

something with a floppy ...

-To take a full size screenshot press Command (Windoze Key in my KB) + Shift + 3.

-To take a screenshot of a particular region of your screen press Command + Shif + 4, drag a rectangle over the zone you want to be captured and you're done

 

P.D.: And if you have Imageshack's widget, then you just have to drag the image to the widget to upload it to the internet!

 

I love OS X...

Ok so OSX installed, and then restarted, except the computer booted straight into Windows. If I go to Acronis Disk Director under Tools, OS Selector isn't a clickable option. Any ideas?

 

 

OS selector didnt install with the disk director for me, try going into the start menu and seeing if theres an option to install it. if there is, install and restart, and you should be all set.
