skysea76 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I resently got a Gateway 500X (hand-me down) and want to get os X on it. It's the standard config (I atached It on the bottom) except for the GPU, I swapped the stock one for a Geforce 6200 512mb (http://microcenter.com/single_product_resu...duct_id=0305902). I'm planning on adding some ram latter, so it will run reasonably, meanwhile I'll put up with the drag.

The hdd is ATA, I would like to do a dual boot (mac windows) and if I get a bigger hdd linux too, but ill leave that out for the moment.

skysea76 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Need more info then what your supplying. Run it with -v whats the last command it gives. Thanks for the response. I didn't copy it textually, but it was something like "waiting for..." Ill run it again and copy it down (after I do one more unsuccessful try at re-installing) Just one question: can't I configure the install EXACTLY like the boot DVD and thats the end of that? Because the DVD work perfectly. WTF!! I booted normally, bad boot (but a different problem). Booted in verbose and... Booted fine!. Wierd thing... I expect next boot to crash or something, but I'll keep my fingers crossed. . Thanks anyways, I'll report back if I have any trouble.
