Disk I/0 Error

[-jordn-]

hey,

 

i have downloaded and burned the 10.4.5 installer DVD, and i boot using the -v flag. in the verbose, i get a disk I/O error.

 

however, the DVD still loads but i can't partition or install, so i am sure that the i/o error is the root of the problem. i have 2 hard disks, an 80gb which is jumpered as master, and a 120gb disk which is a slave, and they are both IDE.

 

i am using an MSI K8N Neo4-F (mobo web link)

 

i have an AMD 3200+ (venice), and an xfx 6800XT.

 

please tell me if you require an more information.

 

 

thanx in advance,

 

jordn

Try to burn this this in minimum speed this error is often related to huge amount of burning errors. There are always some errors and they increase with recorded speed. You films and mp3 don't see difference but Linux/Unix system have problems

 

You can check how codiction have your disc in Window with Nero tools

Try conect HDD on one cable, not HDD and CDROM on this same cable. Try change some setting in bios . I have something like Enchenced mode and compatibility mode for IDE. Search for some setting like prefeth or burstmaster and turn it off

 

Search on HLC part for clues on IDE

 

this one thread I find

 

http://forum.osx86project.org/lofiversion/....php/t3851.html

 

I think that on this forum someone already figured out solution for this problem. This looks that Install dvd don't have approbate kext for you maybe you will have to path 10.4.4 dvd manually with your kext

 

Use search put keyword like nForce4 and MSI K8N Neo4-F or nFroce IDE or SATA

 

My knowledge is finish now.

Good luck

 

 

EDIT

 

I looks that you don't srerch for nothing on forum an wiki

 

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.5

 

look on NForce4 and your mainboard

hey,

 

i have read all the links that you have sent me and none of them were of any use. i have disabled any advanced features relating to hard disks and IDE but to no avail. thank you for your help anyway.

 

does anybody have any suggestions?

I had a major I/O error. Or that’s what someone else called it.

Was told to change the DVD drive. When I did so it worked perfectly. But I had a spare DVD drive sitting next to my computer so that was easy. If you have one, try the same or borrow one for a while and if it works swap back.

 

Hope this helps
