2manydjs Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hello, I'm trying to install Tiger on my Acer Aspire One netbook. Tiger, because it has a smaller footprint and needs less resources than Leopard. Also I have Tiger officially (twice even) while I don't use it, which makes me feel like I'm OK on the copyright side. So far many have succeeded in installing Leopard on the Aspire One. The routine is to install on external USB drive from a PC with optical drive and then start the Aspire One from the drive after installation. I have tried to do the same with the JaS (10.4.8) and XxX (10.4.11) releases, the installation is no problem (I use VMware as a PC substitute). However booting always fails at the same error: BSD root :disk1s1 , Major 14, Minor 4 I have searched for this error and there are others with similar errors, however I couldn't find any solution.. The boot flags I've tried where -x -v -f -F -cpus=1 and combinations of these. Does anybody know what this error means? Has anybody successfully fixed this problem? Thanks in advance for help. PS I've added a screenshot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117571-aspire-one-104-hangs-on-bsd-root/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manydjs Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 [bump] Could it be because I'm using an USB drive? Problem is I have nothing else but one USB drive to test it..
