Hi

 

I'm using the 10.4.6 HOTISO Release.

 

Now, if i try to boot from the DVD into the Installation, im getting some Errors like

 

- SAM Multimedia read or write failed

- hdik iokit errors

- unallocated disk space

 

My Hardware:

ASUS A8N-E (nForce 4 Deluxe)

AMD64 3700+ (Toledo Core - SSE2/3 ready)

MSI Georce 7900GT

Seagate 2 x 200GB SATA Drives

1GB Corsair RAM

SoundBlaster Audigy2ZS

 

Im trying to Install OSX on an Primary IDE Master 80GB Maxtor Drive. I have disabled the SATA Support during the Install. My DVD Drive is Secondary Master.

 

Ive tryed the Boot Options -f -x -v but it does't work.

 

Can anyone help me please? :whistle:

first things first.

 

Sounds like the DVD you burned was burned bad. Try reburning.

 

Second things... well... second, I guess.

 

Your DVD drive should probably be primary slave (I think it's primary slave, dont quote me. And check around). Otherwise, you may get "Waiting for Root Device" errors.

Hmm ok, thx for your Answere.

 

I've tryed the Boot parameter rd=disk0s1 and with this Parameter i dont get these Errors, but theres a new Problem.

 

After booting with the Parameter rd=disk0s1 and -v i see only an Blue Screen with my Mouse and this for over 10 Minutes (i was under the Shower at this Time, its so hot :whistle:) but nothing happens :(
