Thristle Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 so my specs are 775dual-vsta Pentium D 815 ati 1950GT 4GIGS of ram SATA HD i tried installing Ideneb 1.4 (10.5.6), the installation went fine but on first boot it gets stuck on the grey screen with the apple logo tried running it with -v and the last line says using ###### headers out of ###### headers.... in the installation i used the voodoo kernel (i think its a kernel) and i checked the compatability list (wiki) and it should work fine... anyone here with some tips on those specs?

pjmiller435 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 try reinstalling with default kernel, also you should select any patch that has anything to do with ATA AHCI, etc. and also intel memory controller patch, I dunno there names because I use Kalaway so.... this fixed my problems cause i believe it's not booting or reading your hd correctly..... you could also try simple things like in your bios try switching the sata to ide, etc. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/164330-1056-hangs-in-first-boot/#findComment-1144904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerkex'd Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Please use the search before asking questions. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&p=872638 You can't use the vanilla Apple Kernel because you're on a Pentium D. Only CPUs based on the Intel Core microarchitecture can use the Apple kernel. The Voodoo Kernel is your best bet. SATA must be set to AHCI mode. Try booting with maxmem=2048 cpus=1 -v Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/164330-1056-hangs-in-first-boot/#findComment-1145363 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjmiller435 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 yeah nice, beerkec'd i didnt even think of looking at that, thanks, and yes you can pick kernel in EVERY DISTRO of osx86, at least every single copy I've gotten my hands on. Never messed with iD, so I wouldnt know where it's at. so your SATA should already be defaulted to AHCI, if its not just enter into your bios and do it up!
