burntman Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i'm on my 3rd attempt at a failed install. i'm using 10.4.6 hotiso with the computer specs below. every time i am in the installer i get all the way through til "running 10.4.6 combo update intel base system + semjaza v1.2 decrypt installer script" at that point it just hangs. in the log, once in a great while i'll see it actually make a few changes but it just sits, i left it install at that point when i went to work yesterday and it was still at the same point 8 HOURS later. I've been readin through your forums and i've tried everything i've seen. i'm new to osx and linux so there might be some tricks i just don't know. anyone please help!!! -gigabyte k8n ultra 9 -amd 64 4000+ -1gb corsair pc4200 ddr -onboard realtek ac97 audio -evga geforce 7800 gt -sony dvd-rw r710u -wd 40gb hdd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/22326-installation-freezes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
