Colonel Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Many people are having trouble with 10.4.6. Try the 10.4.3 DVD. It seems to work the best. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18911-installation-problem/#findComment-123935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thangsang Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 It's not true that ppl are having problems with 10.4.6 and in fact this is the latest version and it fixed many bugs which were part and partial with the previous releases. As for the reboot thing, most probabely you had a bad burn. Try burning it at the lowest possible speed and if there is bad burn, your problem do happen. There is one escape for your problem though, you can skip the additional fonts and even for that matter you can skip the printer drivers (its about 2GBs or something) while choosing the customise option during the installation. As for your iso image, there is nothing wrong as I've experienced this. If it extracted without any problem means the iso is fine. You don't have to download another copy unless you want a better and a newer version. If you still think that your iso image is bad, then you can confirm by installing mac os using VMware and dtools to mount your image. That way, if it gets installed, then your image is fine.... But I m 100% sure, it will work though you need to do a little extra work by using vmware... good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18911-installation-problem/#findComment-124294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeITA Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thank for all...I've extracted the iso from a .rar archive without problem...I've burned that ISO at 4x, i'll try to use a different burning program...With VMware i've tried an pre-installated image in an archive that i've found on emule client, and it works (very slowly)...I'll try tomorrow reburning the iso...

Jason Sandlin Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I installed this same version on a spare hard drive, but when i boot, i get a b0 error. I do not see any kind of mac screen. I get this first thing. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with P4 2.5GHZ, 512MB Ram, and a 6GB hard drive. I just downloaded the image via newzbin, and burnt the image with Nero. I didnt have a graphics driver during the install, but everything seemed to install fine. When i went to boot to the drive, i get the b0 error. Please help....

-TiLT- Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 You might need to activate your MacOSX partition. There is this guide from cardinal: boot with install DVD, hit F8 to get the prompt, and type -s to start in single mode. when it boots to command prompt, type fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 I am assuming you only have 1 hard drive. If you have more then one, then it could be /dev/rdisk1 and so on. You will get fdisk prompt. then type "show". Output will look like: fdisk: 1> print Disk: /dev/rdisk0 geometry: 24321/255/63 [390721968 sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending #: id cyl hd sec - cyl hd sec [ start - size] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *1: AF 0 1 1 - 1023 254 63 [ 63 - 390721905] HFS+ 2: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 3: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused 4: 00 0 0 0 - 0 0 0 [ 0 - 0] unused See the * before partition 1? That means it is active, ie, bios will try to boot from it. If you don't see a *, there is no partition set to active, and you won't boot. To set a partition to active, type: flag 1 (or whatever partition number it is, likely 1) Then type quit to save changes and exit. type reboot to reboot, remove the DVD and you should be booting into OSX. Maybe what you will see instead will look scrambled and it won't see an HFS+ partition. I think this happened to me at one point while I was trying to install. Then try this (but you will have to reinstall OSX after that): fdisk -i /dev/rdisk0 (this will reinitialize MBR, just in case) fdisk -a hfs /dev/rdisk0 (this will make one HFS+ partition that takes the whole disk) then make this partition active, as described at start of this post. Reboot from DVD, install OSX into the partition you see (don't erase it, just install into it), and you should be able to boot from hard drive. If you can't, do step 1 again to make sure install program didn't make it inactive again. I'm sure there are many far more user friendly ways to do this, but I found it easier to just use what was provided already on install DVD. its here: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...ndpost&p=122348 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18911-installation-problem/#findComment-126017 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Hi Jason...If you don't wanna do what -TiLT- sad, and if you have another HD with windows installed, you can use partition magic 8 to activate Mac os X partition...Partition magic or acronis disk director suite. ...It's more simply do this than the -TiLT- method...
