***** NOTE *****

 

This install is failing, not not installing completely and not working.

 

Fail message::

 

Install failed.

Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer

 

The installer is experiencing errors installing onto "Macintosh HD". (that's the name of my wiped clean partition)

The disk may be damaged. Please try installing on another disk.

 

Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again.

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I'm not new to the whole 86 thing, but this iPC install is kicking my ass.

 

Here's what I am choosing for the install -----

 

 

-iPC OSx86 10.5.6 Base System
-No language translations

Kernel ::
-Vanilla (nothing selected)

Video Driver ::
-NVinject 0.2.1 256mb

Chipset Driver ::
-Intel ICHX SATA driver

Audio Driver ::
-ALC888 (old)    <--------------- using this because ALC888 is for ICH9

Ethernet Driver ::
-Skge Marvell Yukon driver

Fixes and Patches ::
-Dual Boot Time Sync
-USB Mount Fix
-Shutdown/Restart

AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 Mac Pro

Appications
-DeepSleep Widget
-EFI Studio
-OSx86 Tools Utility
-Kext Helper b7
-PPF-O-Matic
-Pacifist
-MSR Tools
-Universal OSx86 Installer
-DSDT Patcher GUI
-MKext Tool

 

I have had to install this 5 times so far, each failing. I'm not quite sure what is going wrong.

If it is any help, when I boot into gparted to get rid of the partition, it says it has 250mb used... Meaning that the install is stopping around that point.

Another point of consideration is whether or not I should use NVinject 0.2.1 256 mb or NVdarwin 256 mb...

 

 

 

My specs are in my sig, nothing special

 

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

EDIT -----

 

-Tried xx66stangxx idea, used everything above with nvdarwin 256mb and no fixes, DIDN'T WORK

-Tried kevstar's idea, used no video drivers and no fixes, DIDN'T WORK

Try not choosing any fixes and Patches. See if that works. Also maybe try the Voodoo kernel also

 

Didn't work, trying kevtucker's idea without any fixes and patches

 

This did not work. I tried not checking anything on video drivers and no fixes / patches and still did not work.

What do you mean without a space?

 

Your partition name was "Macintosh HD", make it "MacintoshHD" instead.

 

Second is select the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel, not the vanilla kernel. The vanilla kernel is only good if your hardware supports it and requires an extra kext to disable a kext it includes. Select the ICHx kext. Select the NVDarwin 256 MB kext as that is what I use with my geforce 8600 GTS video card. Select the AppleSMBIOS-27 Rev3 Mac Pro. Select the Patched USB Drivers. Select the Seatbelt.kext 10.5.5 (must be installed if Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel is installed). Select realtek r1000 ethernet driver. Upon first boot use -v -f to rebuild the kext cache.

 

This worked for me, so lets hope it worked for you. Also bring up the install log to check as it is being installed so you can see where it is going wrong and let us know about it.

 

Big thanks for Verdant for figuring this out :)

It is the kernel to use, even if you can use the vanilla kernel, it does so much more:

Well there are 2 things to do. First is when it starts up and you go to partition your drive, do a disk repair on the partition using disk utility. Second is that when the installation starts, let it check the dvd as it may have burnt it bad.

Everytime after a fresh install that craps out I reformat the mac partition, then go into installer after that. I did let it check the dvd once because I had thought of that, but it went through 100%. After reformatting the mac partition, should I do disk repair? That doesn't make any sense to do that though...

I would try that. Formatting it doesn't check for bad sectors though. If that doesn't work, I would format it as ntfs and run chkdsk on it checking each sector of it. That may take a while though, so let it go all night while ya sleep. If you got any important data on it, back it up before you attempt any of this.

In Disk Utility, first erase volume as MS-DOS (FAT32) and then re-erase as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)........

I got Still "Waiting For Root Device"..on my Lenovo machine. But iDeneb went fine..smooth..

I've download the PPF1 & PPF2..will patch iPC..and give it a shot tonight..

 

You need to select which storage kext to install when installing OS X. The dvd loads all of them and so you're able to install OS X, but for the installation you need to select one of them. The description of each one should give you enough information to know which one to select.
