badsubby Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 installation of files went smoothly. It was after you press restart and before registration stuff. The white background with grey apple logo shows up and then you get the screen with the cursor and so on. So I am stuck at the white screen.

Trust me I searched but found one thread that related to this problem but people really didnt answer that guys question so I decided to make my own. Sorry if that offended you bud. I agree. I installed xXx 10.5.6 this morning, and the Dell came up and was locked up. I restarted the Dell, and hit F8, then typed in -x (safe mode) and it came up. I'm still working on some issues, through. The built in ethernet works! Hurray!

Sorry if this is too simplistic a question but did you check the MD5 checksum and burn the DVD at the lowest speed?

boardjnky4 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 which chipset driver did you choose? When you did the -v(verbose) boot, did you get the message "Still waiting for root device"?

Házy Benedek Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi! I was looking for the answer already on much place, but I did not find it because of this here ointments. My problem it, that put OSX XXX x86 10.5.6os his version. But after I put it up I set off the machine and the white again at a screen I do not get my share of him long. I tried out the successors: F8 and then the next commands: -v after this coffee the screen and does nothing, -x the white screen comes in in that manner though though after this and stops. There is some idea what I would be able to do how?You are possibly you would be able to tell it how I can get an answer to him where? I tried to make it already again but it did not help. My machine consists of the successors: motherboard: Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 Bios: 2.10( I rehearsed already with the others and does this at all of them though) video card: Ati 9200SE HDD: 20gb here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147280-xxx-mac-os-x-1056-stuck-after-installation/#findComment-1078749 Share on other sites More sharing options...

knox86 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just tried install XXX_x86_10.5.6_Universal_Final, with no luck. (options used) http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8503/xxx1056finalcf0.png I did have luck installing 10.4.11 with these options http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/1820/10411rev2bd2.jpg All md5 checksums match. After installation i get the apple logo and an immediate restart loop. Tried verbose mode (-v) and safe mode (-x) but it does the same thing. SPECS: hp DV1010US Laptop Intel Celeron M 1.4mhz(SSE2) Intel 855 chipset, Generic ac97 audio, RTL8139 NIC, broadcom 4306 wireless, 100 gb IDE HD Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Can someone let me know if there are any kernels that support processors that only have SSE2.
