daniesy Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hello I'm new here and i have some questions to ask you. Why when i boot from the dvd and i open system profiler i'm able to see all my system specs without any problems? And then, after i install Leopard (from iPC dvd), it won't boot (because of the cpu, sata, or other problems) Is my pc really compatible? I have: Intel Core2Quad 9450 Evga nForce 780i SLI ATI HD 3650 4 GB RAM Hdd both on SATA and IDE Please help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207932-ipc-1056-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveta Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 won't boot what means? post a screenshot or write the stop point booting with -v Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207932-ipc-1056-problem/#findComment-1388911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniesy Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 won't boot what means? post a screenshot or write the stop point booting with -v Ok i will as soon as i get the chance. I'm now downloading iDeneb 1.1 iAtkos v1.0 and trying to install an older version of Leopard, and then update it. I'll post a screenshot tomorrow. A good example might be that my pc won't boot only with cpus=1 setting on, even tho i can see that system profiler detects my cpu as quad core (when i'm installing leopard 10.5.6). So with cpus=1 i get no kernel panics, but when it finishes to load, the screen turns black and nothing happens. If i don't boot with only one cpu i get all sorts of kp...

Installing osx on a pc is a lot trickier than you may think. one thing to know is that osx by itself is designed to work with only specific hardware and therefore you must make sure there are kernel extensions available for your hardware (kexts as they are referred to). Its hard to say what the problem is since I don't know how you installed it but here is some general advice to get you going. If your ntfs partition is set to bootable and you have a bootloader installed on the osx partiton and it still does not boot look at the advice below. - If you have a working windows partition download HARDiNFO (EDIT) - Secondly, after looking at your hardware specs try to find matching drivers/kexts compatible google "[hardware name like geforce2] osx86" as well as support for ata or sata chipsets, installing incorrect drivers will make it not boot - Install a kernel compatible with your processor, I installed voodoo for my pentium 4 - If your installer boots and manages to install osx regardless of whether it osx boots from the hd, try to boot the installer in -v verbose mode and pick out keywords such as "voodoo", "acpi", "sata", "ata", "nvidia" in words that look like driver names to have an idea of what kexts the installer used to boot the os in. I think if the installer boots and installs actual booting from the hd should be possible. - When configuring drivers make sure to only select ONE for your device. Installing multiple drivers will most likely make the boot fail. - Install macdrive on your xp, try googling "macdrive EDIT" - this lets you download kexts not in your installer disc to be added later after install, it lets you view the mac partition and delete ones that are preventing you from booting - Try another install distro, I use xxx 10.5.6 leopard installer universal final, google this torrent. Hope it helps man, good luck! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207932-ipc-1056-problem/#findComment-1389319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniesy Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 - i've tried 10.5.6 universal but i get a lot of kernel panics I got the iAtkos 1.0 dvd, but when it starts to load, my pc restarts for no reason. I tryed even with -x option on but no luck. Any chance you might know this happens?

daniesy Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 So i installed iAtkos v7 and it boots without panics only with cpus=1 setting. But it stops here and nothing happens.
