circusinthesky Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hello all, I am trying to install OSX on an Aspire One AO75 with the latest bios, but the install gets to a certain point each time, then stops. I tried installing from USB thumb drive with a Kalyway iso image. I followed this guide. Also tried a straight leopard ISO with the Rebel EFI. Both install methods freeze during the install at "dsmos starting". Spent a couple hours on google. Attempted installing from a DVD image of the Kalyway iso as well. Anyone have any suggestions? Since multiple methods have failed, I am guessing its not the process/procedure. I am left with hardware or (gasp) user error. Any advice would be helpful.

circusinthesky Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I suppose I can try the iDeneb distro. Is there a difference in the drivers between the various distros, or are these all pretty much the same?

I noticed this procedure for using the iDeneb distro. I'll give this a shot too. http://fcolaco.com/blog/2009/04/28/acer-as...ficially-a-mac/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/196468-osx-kalyway-install-on-acer-freezer-at-dsmos-starting/#findComment-1323923 Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusinthesky Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Tried the boot-kabyl-bumby bootloader as well. No go. I expect its hanging on some hardware in the AO75. Precisely the reason I don't use Linux.
