Flash619 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I tried this morning installing the iPC a couple times choosing my spec's nVidea 9800gtx nForce Ethernet nForce ATA Chipset After it installs it complains about not having system config file something like apple.com.something and when i install without any ectra things ONLY THE BASE SYSTEM it says still waiting for root device. - have tried the folllowing arguments -f -v I didn't try -x because on a fresh install i wouldn't think it would help. Anything will help at this point. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/177162-fresh-install-cannot-find-system-configuration-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash619 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Do you have any ideas about why i can't get in drivers without corrupting the system configuration? is there a special order? what distro would you recommend for my hardware? i'm using iPC and Kalyway always went corrupt. also the augments us suggested failed but it's probably because our hardware is different.

Flash619 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Could these be signs of a bad hd? also whenever i set a driver for the install of a patch i get that config file, if i don' set anything it will boot but will fail on boot no matter what i set for a argument.
