vilpostus Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 How did you do an installation? From a DVD or from another working OS X installation (e.g. restoring an image to HDD)? Maybe the installation DVD is corrupted. Or you've used a wrong method of installation. Try this one: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...=127330&hl= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183134-just-about-installed-i-think/#findComment-1244701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdscei Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 selecting the wrong drivers might be the problem. Check again. Please give in your post what stuff did you select during setup?

vilpostus Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 "What kexts did you chose in customise section?" If I was to be honest I don't know the first thing about this so any advice welcome Watch this as for the general information http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Ab4LsJFmM Click customize and select: AppleYukon2 from Network 9.5.0 Vanilla (Intel/SSE3) from kernels ACPI-Fix from fix AppleSMBIOS-27-667 from fix Don't select anything ells for now. If something is missing, it can be installed later on a working system. If success, you can install additional drivers. If needed though.

vilpostus Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 AppleSMBIOS 667 You'll need this. 677 stands for the memory speed. As it is written in your specs, you have DDR2 667 memory. So my recommendations are based on this data.
