lost123 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hey Iv been tring to Install 10.5.2 on my PC and just cant manage to boot to it. I can go to the installer fine but first had some problems with my partitions.Basically i couldnt get the diskutility to erase the partition i had set out of OSX(through GParted) so i ended up makng three primary partitions: 1 for XP, 1 for data, and 1 for OSX(duel booting by the way). It took me forever but Iv installed OSX like 4 times now(even without any drivers) and it installes fine but when booting it always seems to hang at: localhost /usr/sbin/ocspd["some number here"] Starting, no matter what options i boot with...there is also some message about the DNSResponder or something along those lines... some one please help?? heres my specs: Mobo:Asus P5P800S CPU: Intel Celeron D 2.66Ghz Graphics:Geforce2 MX/MX400 LAN: Realtek RTL8139 I have read various threads on this issue but there hasnt been any solutions to it so please someone help me out??

Panarchy Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi 2 things you need to do; 1. Make OSX your active partition (and if this doesn't work then do 1 & 2) 2. Reinstall OSX. But this time use the Disk Utility tool on the OSX Installation DVD to format it to the following:Mac OSX Extended (Journalled) Tell me how it goes, Panarchy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123715-installs-ok-but-does-not-boot/#findComment-875788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost123 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 thanks for the reply but i had followed this Simple_Dual_Boot guide and had already made osx the active partition(i think)...and also reinstalled a couple of times with no sucess(and did format as a Mac OSX Extended Journalled)... Ill try again when i get time but till then are there any other resons why i moght be getting stuck at this message? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123715-installs-ok-but-does-not-boot/#findComment-875928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gujal Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Can you tell the partition Details such as Primary, Extended, Logical. As you said you have 3 paritions what is the type of each partition Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123715-installs-ok-but-does-not-boot/#findComment-875930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost123 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 just installed again but still hangs at the same line but now there's one more line: NTFS driver 2.1 (Flag: R/O). So any suggestions? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/123715-installs-ok-but-does-not-boot/#findComment-876017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwaldowski Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You're booting with -v, correct? Which install do you use? I used to use iATKOS v4i, but it would hang after ocspd started because kextd was crashing indefinitely. I hate to tell you to grab another DVD, but using Kalyway or JaS fixed it for me.
