simisimisimi Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 hey guys, can anyone help? i tried to install the tiger-x86-flat.img onto my SATA harddrive. i have two sata harddrives installed, one was running windows, the other one i just formatted with NTSC (the whole disk). i copied the image onto the other SATA and removed the windows SATA. it won't boot, just hangs at the apple w/ the spinning wheel and, later on, a "picture not found" thing. thanks, simon Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13486-at-bootup-only-an-apple-logo-a-spinning-wheel-and-a-picture-missing-icon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
declan Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have the same board, you need to disable sound, and if your using the GMA950 don't have any gfx card in the pci-e port, even if its disabled in the bios, os x won't boot. Also use -v to boot verbose mode, gives you a better idea of whats wrong.

simisimisimi Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 dear declan i did the -v, now it always said: waiting for root device now i disabled audio, still the same problem no pci cards are connected. do you think it's a sata problem? should i use a different installation method, like using a different image? thanks simon Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13486-at-bootup-only-an-apple-logo-a-spinning-wheel-and-a-picture-missing-icon/#findComment-85843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeDz Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I had this same problem, for me, it was that Mac OS X did not recognize the IDE Channel with my DVD-ROM drive, so I installed the OS with an external USB DVD drive and it worked perfectly. Even now though, with OS X installed the OS still doesnt recognize my internal drive.... weird.
