The system doesn't start! I installed the OS again but this error continues.

You must choose either AMD or Intel packages, not both. Choose SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor.

Manuel Serol Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 When I use "-v" option the startup stop at this message "still waitting for root device", then I reinstall the OS and I've selected "costumize" option to mark the Intel processor, after installation my system starts up correctly, without errors, thanks for your opinion. I'm surprised because my Airport recognized automaticly without extra configurations, I've HP Pavillion zd8256ea with 54g board. I can tell you my system it's OK with Jas 10.4.6, I'm very satisfied but my sound card doesn't function, anyone knows why? It's possible to resolve the boot without pressing F8 key to select the partition? Thanks for your help!
