brvaland Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks for your reply. I don't know what I am doing wrong but it does not boot after successful installation, as it hangs after that error message with screen display's apple logo and nothing happens after that. I already have windows 7 installed on the HDD and created a seperate partition for MacOSx and during installation i only format the partition. I have tried 2 different kernal with my custom selection as below. The first installation - I have used the default kernal and below additional options. Bootloader section - Chameleon v2 RC5 and unchecked the option AsereBLN v1.1.9 Drivers > Main Hardware > SATA/IDE > Intel SATA/IDE (option checked) Network > Wired > Intel > Intel Pro 100 (32 Bit) Network > Wired > Intel > Intel Gigabit For the second install - I have used all the above additional options plus selected the below patch Patches > Modified Kernels > qoopz 10.3.2 Can you please advise how to troubleshoot to get the OSx86 working and with reference to wireless card this is not important as I will use the wired LAN connection.? Any help will be highly appreciated?
