J.B Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 did you try installing from a retail disc first? (using a vanilla kernel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.B Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 a vanilla kernel/retail disc is the OSX kernel "as is" made by apple, with no modification (what is included on the install discs you buy and is the preferred choice by many) . Other kernels (like those included in distros use a modded kernel (think you can get various one such as the chocolate and voodoo kernel) that tried to be adapted to PCs. Think however that vanilla is better because you get a lot less problems in the long run (such as during updates) etc. you get the disc the by well, buying it. Simply getting an upgrade disc will work for even a fresh install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
