koushiro Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi, I have built a new computer, with specific parts that have been mentioned as compatible in the wiki. This is for my moms computer and I cant install. I'm using iPC 10.5.6. I get a blinking cursor when the computer goes to the DVD, for a few seconds its still blinking then goes to the HD and to windows. My plan is to wipe of windows and just have Mac there. i have installed iPC on my other hackintosh successfully. Also, I have been able to boot to other boot DVDs that I have made (Windows 7, MS DOS) so It appears that I do make boot discs properly. My specs for this computer are : Intel Celeron 1.8GHZ ECS G31T-M(1.0) LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard Any input would be great.

koushiro Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 More Info. I tried installing windows 7 and that worked. Now there is no blinking cursor at startup. There is still no darwin prompt to boot from the iPC DVD. When i choose to boot to the DVD, its a black screen and then goes right to windows 7. HMMmm.
