AdamLC Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi guys, im completely new to this scene and wondered if anyone could help at all I recently downloaded the iPC 10.5.6 PPF5 OSX install dvd, burned the ISO and installed it. I first installed OSX with the right drivers for my system, but it was then stuck in a constant reboot cycle. It would start darwin and then reboot. After being stuck in en endless reboot I tried installing OSX with no extras and that did the same! Does anyone have any ideas? I used -f on first boot and tried -v with no success im affraid. My system specs (as detailed as possible): AsRock 775Dual-VSTA - http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775Dual-vsta Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 2.13GHz 120GB Maxtor IDE HD Drive Radeon x800 Pro AGP 2GB Corsair RAM Thanks in advance guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same motherboard and both my dvd and hd driver are IDE. (my hdd is set to primary master) When i choose the option ICH chipset, i get the message "still waiting for root device". Although my hdd is set to primary master, it still can't find the root disk. Even if i enter rd=diskYsX (disk2s1) it doesn't work. When i choose the option for VIA/SIS etc.. chipset, i get an instant reboot. My bios options are all good i believe. I think it has something to do with the chipset driver.. I have done many OSX86 installs on a lot of different pc's, but now i'm tired of finding the right settings wich will probably cost me a lot of time and installations AsRock 775Dual-VSTA Core 2 Duo 1,80GHz (vanilla) 2GB DDR2 667 (ADATA) 8400GS 512MB 120GB IDE HDD DVD Burner IDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
