Inf123 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey all, I have an Asus G51 JX -a1 laptop that has 6 gigs of ram, core i7 720qm, nvidia geforce gts 360M video card. I was following a guide that someone wrote about installing to a similar laptop and basically this is whats happening. I have a retail mac os x 10.6.3 cd and I was using nawcom's bootloader -I started the bootloader, and eventually swapped the cd's got to the install screen create 2 partition drive using GUID partiton table (I think that's what it is called) and set the first partiton to mac os extended(Journaled) -Install seemed to go fine didn't have any issues I restarted swapped cd's again and this time picked to boot from the MAC drive i created -Got the welcome screen and went through the startup stuff -But here is the first issue. When I get to the Create new account and type my info and hit next it just hangs on this screen saying creating new account... it never gets passed this so I restart the computer and next time I log in i'm at the login screen and I can login with the account/password I set up -Next I copy over the 10.6.6 combo update and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] extract both and just before installing I repair my disc permissions. -the 10.6.6 update goes all the way till there is < 1 min left and then I get the error. I have attached the log it created The only thing I can think of is since [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] states you should only have 4 gigs of ram, and mine has 6 could that be causing the error? I haven't tried removing ram yet from my laptop but if that's what is needed ill give it a shot thanks.

Inf123 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I just tried with 10.6.5 combo update and same exact message as the one above anyone have any insight?

PhunkMaZ Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I think you should first try to install the update with only max. 4 Gig ram installed. If it fails again you can be sure that the memory isn't the problem.

If it fails again you can be sure that the memory isn't the problem. finally got it working, I think it was due to the error I got after rebooting where I couldn't log in with the create a user. Once I created a new one tried the update it worked.
