cristimic23 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi everyone! I've tried to install Mac OS X from Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD and I've got a problem. After the booting , on the screen appears a lot of texts. After some time , the DVD-ROM stops reading the disc and an error appears 3 times : SAM MULTIMEDIA READ or WRITE failed After this some text appears : Still waiting for root device At this moment the installer doesn't want to continue. I have this configuration : -Intel Core2Quad Q6600 -Gigabyte GA-N650SLI-DS4L , has the nForce 650 chipset. -4 gigs of RAM -nVidia 8800GT -Seagate 400 gigs HDD -Asus 1814-BLT DVD-RW , is on SATA. I've tested the disc at a friend that has : -Intel P4 -ASRock motherboard . has the VIA Chipset. -1.5 gigs of RAM. -ATI HD3850 -Samsung 160 gigs HDD -Samsung DVD-ROM , is on IDE. and the test was a success , the installer appears and works. Why on his PC works and on mine doesn't? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125292-kalyway-1052-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
