mactogo Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have osx86 working under dual boot using the deadmoo dd method (sound and graphics acceleration are the only problems) so I know that my hardware is compatible. I can get into the GUI using platform=x86pc otherwise it hangs. Now trying the dvd install pathc release 1 but no go. I'm getting the same waiting on <dict... error when booting from the realease 1 dvd (performed and verified the checksums when making and patching the dvd). Also tried booting using different combinations of -x -f and platform=x86pc but i'm still getting the error. ????!!!!???? Any suggestions welcome.
