MrJordanHawken Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hi I am trying to install iDeneb onto my HP Compaq d530 and I've tried about five tutorials and googled for helpful info about a million times but nothing seems to work. The first time I installed iDeneb I just wiped my harddrive clean, partioned it like the turtorial said and installed it. When I went to boot up my computer, it got a screen and then would reboot and start again, taking me in circles. The second time I tried TonyMacX's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method but when I went to go and change the BIOS setting from IDE to ACHI I got stuck because there were no submenus in the computers setup that allowed me to do this. I skipped that bit. I went ahead with the rest of the installation and went to boot my harddrive using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] but it would give me a black screen with white text all the way down the screen and at the bottom it says "System uptime in nanoseconds: 1559648360" and then freezes. It also says alot of things starting with "cannot alloc class..." or "cannot load kext..." The BIOS Settings menus for my computer seem kind of foreign to me, if anyone could help me make heads or tails of them that would be amazingly helpful My HP Compaq d530 has an Intel Pentium 4 Processor and has no major hardware alterations since I got it from the manufacturer except for a harddrive upgrade (20gigs to 80gigs) and I put in a wireless router. I hope I've given you all enough detail MrJordanHawken (>'_')> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arifpaan Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 How about trying different distros. Some PC/Laptops works best on different distro. iAtskos, iPC, etc. iPC works best on my notebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muchlife Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 agree with arifpaan - iDeneb isnt the best option for all PC's. sometimes iPC works better, sometimes iAtkos works better, just keep trying until you've gone through 3-4 different distros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
