Gelakinetic Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hey, I tried to install OSX from the JaS 10.4.6 image on a fresh hard drive, no dual booting here, here are my specs: Dell Dimension 4600 2.8 GHz P4 512 MB ram GeForce FX 5200 E210882 Motherboard (default Dell one, its Intel not VIA) The installation part went fine. I got a b0 error, but managed to resolve it. What happens is when it boots, it gets to a white screen with a grey apple and a series of circling lines towards the bottom of the screen. You know the one. Anyway, it seems fine for a few moments, but then a small "no smoking" circle with a slash through it appears over the apple. The lines continue to rotate, but it never gets past that screen. Help please? I already pulled out all non-necessary PCI cards. If anybody wants more information or a picture, just ask. Thanks for anything! -Gelakinetic Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24241-stuck-at-a-screen-while-booting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 During the installation, right before clicking the "Install" button, did you first click on the "Customize" button to select packages that pertain to your computer? You had to click on the little arrow in front of the various selections to reveal the packages to be selected.

Gelakinetic Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I did miss the customize button, I'll try that tomorrow, as its gettin kinda late on the east coast. Thanks for the tip. A for the chipset, I'm not sure if these are the numbers you are looking for, but these are the ones I found etched on the chip on the motherboard: FW82801EB F352NC23 SL732 Thanks again Rammjet and JaS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24241-stuck-at-a-screen-while-booting/#findComment-161034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LurchMD Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 So, what happened?? I've got the same desktop and having the same problem. I've been trying different combinations of options and will let you know if I finally get the right combo. I also tried the paperclips inn the VGA cable, but that didn't work.
