Vista/OSX dual boot 1hdd, OSX boot fails

[abracadaver216]

Alright as the title says I'm trying to dual boot Vista and OSX on 1 HDD so far I've successfully had both OS's installed with the Darwin bootloader allowing me to select either OS's. I'm using Kalaway mac 10.5(err can't remember off the top of my head) When I try to boot into OSX text scrolls across my screen similar to when I installed OSX, eventually it reaches a point where it says something like Network driver failed:Success then after about 5 minutes my screen just goes black. During the OSX installation I choose to install the Nvidia, AMD, network (selected all) and chose the sleep kernel(which is default anyways but thought I would mention that).

 

I would like to try again but if anyone has insight on what I may be doing wrong it would save me tons of trouble.

Thanks

On some older intel duo core type processors it hangs during startup I haven't heard anything about this happening on AMD processors. Your situation seems like a problem with your graphics driver. Try deleting the drivers in -s mode at boot then load osx as normal. I'm not sure if you do or not, but you really need to know the type of hardware, sometimes brand specifics ie Dell, HP model # to get everything working properly during the install. If you choose wrong options it will lead you to not being able to boot into osx86. Search around on google or here for information regarding your hardware compatibility.

 

Also posting helps when your more specific on your computer type, hardware chipsets, and more.
