OpinionatedDrone Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Okay, here are my system specs: AMD Athlon XP 1900+ (Windows System Informaiton reports 1.6GHz) -Instructions: MMX (+), 3DNow! (+), SSE (as reported by CPU-Z) 1GB DDR RAM (Slot 0: 512MB, Slot1: 512MB) HDD0: 20GB Western Digital, EIDE, Pri Master -hd0,0 Windows XP, NTFS, 20GB Partition HDD1: 40GB Maxtor, EIDE, Pri Slave -hd1,0 MacOSX86 Tiger, MacOS FS, 6.0 GB Partition -hd1,1 No OS, NTFS, 32.17GB Partition Motherboard is MSI (MS-6380) -VIA Chipset KT266/333 -VIA Southbridge VT8233 BIOS brand is American Megatends, Inc ver 7.00T I have two Video Cards -NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 on PCI -NVIDIA GeForce MX 4000 on AGP Other Devices Include: -Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-106D -Lite-On LTN483S 40x Max -Floppy ( A: ) -Floppy ( B: ) -SMC EZ Card 10/100 PCI Eithernet Controller -Creative Audio PCI (SoundBlaster) Now that all of that is out of the way, here is my problem. I used the Deadmoo image (tiger-x86-flat.img) to install Mac OS X86. I used WinGRUB as the boot manager to achieve a dual boot with my Windows XP installation. That part works great. Boot.ini directs to WinGrub wich directs to hd1,0 (Tiger Mac OS X86) where Darwin takes over. From there I should be able to boot into OSX86, right? Well, here was my first problem, the OS kept asking me to reboot, even with the '-x' switch and the 'platform=X86PC' switch, even when combined 'platform=X86PC -x -v'. The problem was solved when I disabled my intigrated USB through the BIOS. Or so I thought. OSX no longer asks me to reboot the system, but even using the switches, the boot hangs. Without any switches, I get a grey apple wallpaper with a loading circle. My HD activity light flashes for a while, then nothing. No light at all. The circle loading animation continues, but nothing happens. I left it alone all night, but, in the morning, still nothing. I have tried using the switches, '-x' '-v' '-s' and '-F' and still nothing. The most progress I made was the '-s' switch, which brought me to a command line asking me if I wanted to continue loading the OS in single user mode, which I did, so I followed the on-screen instructions, and viola, it hung again. It always hangs in the same spot. I get a variety of the following error messages: /ect/rc: line ###: ## Illegal instruction /usr/sbin/__________ the numbers are always different depending on the switches I use, however, the final line is always this: /ect/rc: line 264: ## Illegal instruction /usr/sbin/update sorry if this is confusing at all, but the point is, it always hangs at /ect/rc: line 264: 33 Illegal instruction /usr/sbin/update (33 is sometimes 31, depending on the switches I use) * the ## indicates that the numbers can be different depending on the switches used Please help, thank you.

OpinionatedDrone Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 this is the same problem as in this thread http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=3448 didn't find it through the search on this board, but only through another side when I searched for my error code in goolge. has there been any progress in making this work in SSE1 or emulating SSE2 or SSE3 on an SSE1?
