Heya,

firstly sorry for my english!

Days ago, i downloaded an osx86 iso (MacOSX10.4.4/5osx86PatchedBootableDVD) and tried to install on my laptop Asus A6KMQ004P with Vmware. All worked fine, except for a alert while installing that asked me to enable DMA on my CDROM. But next i was able to use my new OS.

 

After this successfull installation i decided to install it native. So these are the steps I followed:

 

- Burnt the iso on a DVD

- Using Partition Magic I built a Logical partition NTFS called MAC OSX.

- Downloaded chain0 and put in C:

- edited boot.ini adding the line C:\chain0="Mac OS x86"

- checked in msconfig the boot.ini and all was fine

- restarted the laptop and check if the dual boot worked, and all goes right, i was able to log back in windows

- restarted the laptop and change the BIOS settings for to boot from CD

- insert the DVD bootable and start

- in Darwin, I pressed F8 and -v the enter

the installation began but freeze at this line without prompting any error:

 

ACPI: System State ...etc.

 

I tried booting with -s option but it freezes at the same line apparently without any reason.

 

So, i searched in this forum and found that the partition must be primary, not logical!

 

So I reboot in windows, run partition magic and rebuilt the partition as primary without any luck..

 

So i found someone who said the this partition must be active....

 

Can anyone please says me where i'm wrong, explaining me step by step what I missed and what i have to do with the partitions and the installation?

 

P.S.: i'm sure the iso works fine cause it worked in vmware and a friend install it native without any problem (unfortunately I cannot call this friend now....)

 

Thanks in advance,

Giorgio
