mwidjaja1 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 When I try to boot up the Installation Disc, it stopped after the Gray Apple Screen. (The little circle below the apple keeps moving but stays there forever.) In addition there was a little 'No Smoking" sign over the apple shown in the picture below" So then I booted using "-v" and then I see the error "Load of /sbin/launchd failed, errono 88" as seen in the picture below: I'm using VM Ware for this installation, and I'm using Alcohol 120% to mount. I know the files I got aren't corrupted since they worked on my Desktop (Dell Dimension 8100). I'm trying to install this on a Dell Insprion 6000 Notebook. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24953-no-smoking-sign-over-apple/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgilmour Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 i had this problem a bunch of times when i was first trying to install on the whole drive on my tp t42, i believe it has to do with the partition not being a primary partition.... because i removed all partitions and then used fdisk on a linux boot disk to make a primary partition, change the type to af, and then did the install again, and boom! it worked! I dont know about dual booting tho with windows/vmware, are you following the guide thoroughly thats on the wiki?

mwidjaja1 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 I am using this tutorial: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=11314. (I'm using Alcohol 120 instead of Daemon Tools, however I did try Daemon Tools at one point for this and it failed in the same way.) I know this works to some extent becuase it worked on the Desktop PC. The Drive I'm using is Primary, Fat 32. However I have attached a pic of "Acronis Disk Director" which I'm using if it can help you.

noxdg Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I had this problem too when installing for the Jas DVD. Did you choose custom installation at the beginning of your install? From there you select if you have an AMD chip or Intel and checkmark the corresponding drivers for your PC setup. After that, OS X booted with no problem.

mwidjaja1 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Well the problem I had was with booting up the Installer Program, not Mac OSX itself. However I have got it to work, for some reason it was able to use the CD Files that was stored in another computer and not the one in my computer. So I just set Alcohol 120 to mount the files from the other computer and installed it, and it now kinda works. Getting off topic, currently my Mac OSX Does work in VM Ware, however I can't boot it up in a dual boot system. (After the Darwin Boot Loader, it hangs at the Blue 'Boot up' screen). Does anyone know why Mac OSX worked on VM Ware and not when booting it up natively? Thanks!

Rammjet Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (After the Darwin Boot Loader, it hangs at the Blue 'Boot up' screen). Does anyone know why Mac OSX worked on VM Ware and not when booting it up natively? Thanks! OSX hates booting a "headless" system. Sometimes on some laptops, it can't detect the LCD so it doesn't seen any monitor attached and it hangs. In VMware, it is communicating with the emulator which is telling it there is a monitor. So, when booting native, try attaching a monitor or attaching a VGA dongle or the 2-wire trick: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?ac...ost&id=1522 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24953-no-smoking-sign-over-apple/#findComment-169732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwidjaja1 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Ok, I'll try the monitor soon.... its getting late here, however I have heard of the VGA Dongle, what I'm intrested in though is that some people were able to run Mac OSX without any need for a dongle on a Dell Insprion 6000 Notebook too, oh well, leave it to me to get unlucky. Also if you don't mind (and as if the picture wasn't self explanatory), what did you do to create the '2 Wire Trick", for some reason I want to guess you use a paper clip like type of metal. Also, what's that paper/duct tape thing doing under the port? What is it and is it supposed to be like that? Are the also any possible options? Frankly it would seem making a VGA Dongle will be a little hard for a student in high school.... would there be any other, safe, less intense methods to do this? Thanks in advance!
