kknospam Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I have an Acer aspire 1644 and 10.4.1 worked perfectly and fast. I tried to install 10.4.6 HOTiSO, Jas and Myzar and all came up with the same problem. Either if I startup with -v or not, all appear to work perfectly but when is going to appear the starting mac os x it freezes showing the blue background. I tried to search everywhere about this problem but I didn't find anything. Anybody with the same problem? Thanks in advance Specs for 1644 - Intel Pentium M 760 - 2,0GHz - 533Mhz FSB - L2 Caché 2Mb - Chipset Intel 915GM - Memory 1024Mb DDRII 533MHz (2x512) - HD 100GB - GMA900 Graphics - 1 PcCard - Lan 10/100 - Wifi 802.11b/g Intel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troisd Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 yeah... that's OSX86's version of the BSOD (blue screen of death). Nothing serious really. OSX has a bug in internal lcd screen detection with GMA900 devices. The only way to solve this is to make a dummy vga adapter shorting pins 1-6 and 2-12. Or short them directly using a paper clip or staples. There are a few pictures of what I mean if you search for vga dummy. This essentially simulates two screens and OSX86 will happily boot after that. People are working in making a software solution for this. Don't hold your breath.

kknospam Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thank you, you are my heros! Currently running a shinny 10.4.7. Is there anyway to run HD Definition Audio Realtek? I've found the AC97 one but don't know if that would work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb2k Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Since when does OSX have those issues? I remember the last time I installed OSX86 on my laptop... worked without problems 0_o This time... blue screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
