RobM Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well I just started the VMware install and erased my current OS X partition, so I will tell you how it comes out tommorow. Thanks for all your help, Rammjet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 OK. I installed OS X 10.4.6, JaS iso, and it sticks at the gray Apple screen. (No spinning wheel thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 During the install, right before clicking on the "Install" button, did you click on the "Customize" button and choose packages that pertain to your computer? You have to click on the little arrow to reveal the packages. If your computer is SSE2, choose that or if SSE3, choose that, but not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yeah, I did that. Here is what I selected(As you can see, the grayed out ones are the ones I chose): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 OK. looks like you made correct choices in Customize, unless you don't really have GMA900 video. Sometimes, on a laptop, a hang at the grey screen indicates a video problem. OSX expects to find a monitor and doesn't. This can be fixed by attaching a monitor or a VGA dongle to the VGA port or doing the 2-wire trick: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?ac...ost&id=1522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 I am using an external moniter. [edit] Yeah, I am almost positive I am using that. I'll double check tho, just to be sure. Hmm, I guess that is the problem. I have a 915GM/GMS, 910GML one... Now why did I think I had a 900? :\ I'll let you know how it goes when I am done installing again.

RobM Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 OK, I decided to go ahead and boot in -v mode, and got a really strage error I have not heard of here. Pics or error: http://robm.drunkencoders.com/osx86/ Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Well it is struggling with your PCMCIA bus but gives up on that, then hangs on your SATA. In BIOS, can you set SATA to emulate PATA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 I am using an external moniter. [edit] Yeah, I am almost positive I am using that. I'll double check tho, just to be sure.

I'll have to reinstall that patch later... Nope, it can't. Anything else I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
