BlackFox Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 okay, this is the installation that i used. im wondering who else has tried this and had any luck with it. im trying to install onto a dell insprion 8500, ive already tried 2 times, each time the installation goes fine without any problems but when it gets to booting into osx, my computer just hangs and after about 5 minutes a little crossed out circle appears over the apple logo. and the system just continues to hang, however it sounds as if the harddrive and dvd drive are being accessed. any ideas?

BlackFox Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 im sure at least someone else has used this iso, just let me know what problems you had with it, or if it worked. anything is helpful i have figured out that im getting a "still waiting for root device..." message when i booted it in -v mode Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/15071-macosx1045universalinstalldvdintel_amd_sse3_sse2iso/#findComment-96679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
92GTA Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 No one is replying because the answer is easy to find with a search but.... If you look at your HD status light it's prolly not lit during the boot screen. Boot into safe mode and repair all your disk permissions, that should do the trick. The problem is with the kext that controls the HD interface.

BlackFox Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 yeah, i heard someone say that that was the only problem with this installationcd, is that the chmod values were kinda screwed on some of the kext files. i remember devilhood posting this: This Universal Install DVD has screwed up permissions on specific kexts, namely: ApplePS2Controller.kext AudioIPCDriver.kext AppleMLANAudio.kext AppleHDA.kext The issue can be fixed by loading up terminal and typing: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo find nameofkext.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find nameofkext.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \; Disk Utility will not fix the problem automatically. does this look about right?

Coobox Mac Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I've the same ISO and it doesn't work correctly with my ATI chipset SB400. This ISO doesn't contain the Kernel Extension for ATI chipsets and AC97 Audio. So the best ISO actually is the myzar patch or jas.

Deviant0ne Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have that image, and it worked fine for me. It seemed slower than the other 10.4.5 image I've been using though...
