erishun Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi all, I have a windows machine and I am trying to put MacOSx on a new harddrive inside the box. Specs: ASUS P5Q PRO Intel Q6600 OCZ 4GB Ram (DDR2-1066) ATI HD4850 Set my BIOS based on research on Internet, iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 loads just fine. I partition the new disk to Disk Util HFS+ Journaled, and installed... Kext Helper X11 ICHX Fixed AppleSMBios 800 Audio ALC833 ATI HD Series Base It seems to install OK, but on restart I see the grey loading screen with the dark grey Apple logo and it just sits there. Loading in verbose mode... I see this... Maybe it's a BIOS setup issue... I changed my SATA to AHCI I've done my research, still stuck, someone please help me!!! :-D EDIT: More Googling tells me I have to modify the BIOS using a hacked BIOS file, I will try that now and report back!

SticMAC™ Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 This is a well know error!!! Try searching Google for :" Using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster insanelymac" It is a ACPIPlatform.kext error you have to replace it with a compatible one, or would you like one of us to come over and do it for you!? SticMAN I think this is the right file you need to replace, chmod, chown, rm mkext etc etc etc etc... http://www.mediafire.com/?ubwiitdpjjz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149792-osx-hangs-after-installation-on-loading-screen-photos-inside/#findComment-1059604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

erishun Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Can you tell me how did you install it?: I still have no idea how I can instal things like this above. Anyone know how? Yes, the very last step in the Mac Installation process on the screen that says something like "You're ready to install now, hit Install". There will be a button to the left saying "Customize...". Assuming you are using an installer like iDeneb with kexts already on the DVD, this customize button will be loaded with different categorized kexts for you to choose from. Good luck!

pego69 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 But unfortunately I haven't yet get to this button. Few second after botting dvd, I get this error: "Apple VIAATA Driver: VIA UNKNOWN " Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149792-osx-hangs-after-installation-on-loading-screen-photos-inside/#findComment-1060244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
