Guest Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've got here a IBM "ThinkCentre" with a 2.40 GHZ Intel Pentium 4 CPU and a 128 MB GeForce FX5200 Video card. I've successfully burned the Kalyway DVD and it started to run for the most part... After pressing enter to boot from the disc, my PC just restarts on me, does this mean my CPU is un-supported? I tried it on my friends supiror PC and it worked perfect. He's got a dual core 2. somethin' ghz, 1 Gb of ram, and a 256 MB NVIDIA video card (Sorry, don't know EXACT specs of his computer...). And if my CPU isn't supported by Leopard, my question is would it be supported by Tiger? Here's my exact specs just in case: CPU: 2.40 GHZ Intel Pentium 4 RAM: 512 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM GPU: nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB Motherboard: IBM 8194A1U Thanks in advance!

jagger27 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Correct, a P4 will not work without a special kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kytzu Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 check with cpuz, if you have sse3 should work on leo with no problem, if you have sse2 it might work also but you have to digg better for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot get any Leopard distro to work with my P4 system (see signature) for various reasons depending on the distro. But JAS 10.4.8 works like a charm for me...

SDRacer48 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 The normal place is about it. The Bay of Pirates, the Green Demon, and most other notable private sites... It is normally well worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Jagger27: Thanks for the information. kytzu: According to CPU-Z, I have MMX, SSE, and SSE2. SDRacer48: Well, I've actually got JaS 10.4.8 torrenting now, so I'll see how it works once it's done (It'll be a few days >_>'). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Sorry about the double post but, I've burned the image and everything and it lets me install for the most part. The first time I tried installing (JaS 10.4.8) It said there were errors and to restart the computer, so Im going to try again... EDIT: Apparently, it gets an error around the "BSD System" (or whatever that was) installation area... EDIT again: Nevermind, it seems to have gotten past that little snag! (Posting from my old G3 iMac by the way) PROBLEM! I installed Tiger fine, but I can't boot into it! If I press F8 to select an OS, it doesn't list OS X, Just Windows. Anybody know how to fix this? (Also I think I can do it with a boot-loader, correct? See, it didn't actually install one-if it should have at all-so I'm a little stuck here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
