kmand Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm trying to test OS X via ToH_x86_9A581_RC2.iso on 3 laptops. 1) The most successful one has a Intel® Pentium® M processor 2.00GHz fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe nx up bts est tm2 2GB RAM Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel® 915GM This one loads all the modules, brings up the install GUI, disk utility creates a HFS+journal+case-sensitive partition, and install loads happily for quite a while. This takes long enough that I don't sit and watch, but when I come back its at a black screen with system config file 'com.apple.boot.plist' not found Any ideas on where I go from here? 2) This one is less succesful Intel® Pentium® M processor 1.60GHz fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe up bts est tm2 1.25GB Ram Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel® 855GME This one loads a bunch of modules, and then reboots never getting to the GUI. The hardware is pretty similar to 1), any ideas on why it aborts before the GUI? 3) This one I didn't expect to work Intel® Pentium® 4 Mobile CPU 2.00GHz fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm up pebs bts 1 GB Ram ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP) It aborts the same way as 2) after loading a lot of modules, but before the GUI. I didn't expect it to work because of the Radeon 7500 graphics chips, instead of Intel. Is that what's wrong? Is there a work around?
