jarruda Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm using iDeneb v1.4 10.5.6 to install OSX on a Dell Inspiron 8600. Specs: - Processor: 1.4GHz Pentium M (SSE2 only) - Memory: 1.25GB - Video: Geforce Go5200 64MB The problem that I continue to get is while booting, it sits at the gray screen with the loading spinner. Booting with verbose on, I see that the console switches graphics modes and then it hangs indefinitely after writing the final line, "Mac Framework Successfully Initialized". Options/kexts selected: - Kernel: Voodoo 9.5.0 - Chipset: ICHx Fix - Audio: AC97 - Video: NVKush I was able to successfully install Kalyway 10.5.1 without any problems, just selecting the "SSE2 System" option, which I believe uses the ToH kernel. After that I followed this post for doing the upgrade to 10.5.6. That had its own problems... after I installed the update, Finder crashed on me and refused to start, forcing me to do the rest of the steps after the combo install from the command line. When I restarted I faced the same exact problem as I see with iDeneb and I wonder if it's related to the Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel. Help!
