unfortunately, even if i got rid of the partition error, osx will still not boot up. the last message pops up seems like it is waiting for something. "still waiting for root device" or something like that...

 

In my experience here trying to help people, a waiting root device error means different things whether you are booting the install DVD or booting your installation.

 

If booting the install DVD, it means there is a problem finding the boot device and some attention needs to be paid to getting the system boiled down to the basics: a hard drive on primary master and a DVD drive on primary slave. Set with jumpers, not depending on cable select. This is obviously hard to do in a laptop, so the next best thing there is to head for VMware.

 

If booting your installation, the error usually results when you didn't choose the correct packages under the Customize section. Verify the capabilities of your computer - whether it is SSE2 or SSE3 and choose only one of those. Choose only AMD packages or Intel packages, not both.

 

So, since you are having trouble booting your installation, I would reinstall and carefully choose your packages under the Customize section.

hi guys

 

got a question

 

i have just installed the OSX Darwin x86 boot v5.0.132

after all the install processes , and i back to bios and set it to hdd boot , and save it

 

but it wont boot into the OS , i mean not even the black screen with booting options , it just holds at the hardware checking screen ...

anyone got any ideas of this ?

 

 

and i found that i cant see the AMD patches in the customize install windows

but i can see it the folder of AMD patches installed in the drive

 

is that the problem why i cant boot in ?

Maybe you need to scroll down, because pictures I've seen of that installation have an AMD Enabler and then an Intel package below that. I think you need the AMD enabler.

Hi,

 

I am trying to install on my USB external hard drive.

 

Machine Details:

Dell 8400

Chipset i925x rev B1

Southbridge: i82801FB

PIV Prescott -- SSE3 confirmed

SATA (disabled since I was getting kernel errors so thought this might be the problem)

 

 

OS X Version: 10.4.6 JAS DVD

 

Install went fine. Installer found the drive, partitioned it etc. I selected the appropriate patches (I think).

At boot it starts up but I get a kernel panic. Screen shot of the boot details of the Kernel panic are below:

Then I would suggest you need a new iso with more options - ones to accomodate your AMD processor.

 

k thx for ur suggestions

 

poperly i need a latest one with that amd patch

 

it's strange that i can see the folder and all the patches either in my DVD and Hard drive

but not at the options menu .... :D

Can you remember what packages you selected?

 

 

It is my friends computer, I am posting for him :D He can't remmeber specifically and will re-do setup with me. He says he remembers only doing the Intel SSE3 patches and the intel decryptors, and none of the AMD ones (since he doesn't have an AMD CPU).

what do you mean you dont understand itallian???

 

She is spamming every group that has "Asus" or "x1600" in it, even foreign language ones.

 

She must be 10 years old or something. She is double posting here and other places.

 

I don't even know how to answer her...which of the billions of messages she has left should I answer?

It works!

 

Used Asus P4P800-E motherboard

Geforce Ti4600

512Mb memory

Pentium 2.4 (SSE2)

Goatsecx image

 

 

There were 2 SATA disks connected in Raid 0 and the installer didn't recognise the Raid disks so i installed an extra 80Gb disk on IDE to install OSX 10.4.6

Als no keyboard when booting OSX, PS/2 keyboard & USB mouse, i converted the mouse to PS/2, worked!

 

That worked great!

 

Also the update to 10.4.7 (Jas)

 

Thanks alot for all the info, keep up the good work! :D

haha... sorry guys... but i couldnt find the perfect thread so I posted them into the relevant ones... so I could increase my chance of getting an helpful answer. And no Iam not 10 years old but Iam stuck and need help. I just copy pasted the message I sent to the Italian thread about an Asus and forgot to remove that part here and some other places. I really don't see the problem with that, but if you do i won't do it anymore.. :)

 

Sorry / Jennifer

Slamming the board with so many requests, especially two in the same thread within minutes of each other, is not good netiquette.

 

When you installed, right before clicking the "Install" button, did you first click the "Customize" button and select packages that pertain to your computer? You had to click the little arrows to reveal the individual packages. Select only AMD or Intel packages, not both. Select only SSE2 or SSE3 depending upon your processor's capability, but not both.

Yes, I remember pressing customize, but also remeber that i had two choises, Some X11 (didn't check that) and the Amd and Intel patch, but there was no (don't think so) further arrows (+) , so I checked the patch for Amd an Intel... maybe I was wrong but I remember checking if that patch could be opened (sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand what i mean, like if there was a + to open the patch further) ... am I wrong? The one I used was the Hottiso 10.4.6 , is that the one to recommend by the way?

 

Thanks a lot / Jenn

There is a little arrow in front of "Amd and Intel patch". You need to click it to reveal the individual AMD and Intel patches.

 

Look at the picture in this post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=161992

 

See the little arrow on the left and all of the individual packages?

Thanks aLOT! / Jennifer

 

EDIT ... wich patches should i choose by the way?
