oracle Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hey Guys... I am stumped. I have installed OSX in the early days with the vmware flat image with no troubles on my x300 laptop...but I am stumped with this one. Dell GX270, Hyper Threading is off A-06 bios (latest) and boot from IDE-CD (which is actually a dvd-rom). Using 8f1111 Wesley patch with md5sum = C764EECC7F3D45F3033AEEAFE75B57EF Boot up and either have ide-cdrom as first boot device or hitting f12 select boot device ide-cdrom...disk spins for seconds and dvd-rom light flashes...but then times out and boot from ide HD. I tried another dvd-rom/burner combo drive....same behavior. I have burned the dvd iso several times. Can somebody throw me a bone...I am happy to try something like the old style flat image thing with dd from a shell in live cd linux distro, but can't find any details on doing such with 10.4.3. Thanks for any hints! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12566-gx270-cant-boot-from-8f1111-wesley-dvd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

voipwizard Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Yeah I had a similar behavior with mine. So I ended up setting the HD with the original Cable as CS (Cable Select) in the Primary Controller The DVD in the Secondary Controller as Master (MA) It worked fine after getting the same behavior for a couple of times Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12566-gx270-cant-boot-from-8f1111-wesley-dvd/#findComment-320206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
