TrisOmination Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hello. I`ve been lurking around here some days now, since a friend of mine wants to buy himself a macbook and I wanted to test the mac os x to see what`s so special about it. I read over and over tutorials from here and other websites, watched countless 7 vs snow leo videos and I must say that osx has really got my attention now. The problem is I can`t even finish the install. When I first tried, it would freeze at the grey logo screen. I managed to get it working with -v -idlehalt=0 and got to the point where the install couldn`t see any partition. I used the live ubuntu cd to change a empty partition to fat-32, then tried again to setup. No use, since I can`t even reach that screen anymore. I would truly like to try mac osx and I find it useful for most of the things I do, after I documented myself for a bit I finally realised that. Could you kindly help me do so? I can give you any information about the laptop or whatsoever, just ask. Thank you kindly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrisOmination Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ok, I tried to install osx again with another distro, one I kinda found on torrent websites. Now, in -v, it shows me a error after random lines and it says something like the temperature is to high. Afterwards, the laptop died. The curious thing is that I felt my laptop much hotter, it was barely warm now. Do I have to modify something in BIOS or is there another version that works without this kind of error? Later today I`m gonna try iDeneb lite, I`ll post if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
