Numeroid Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 So I'm trying to install OS X 10.5 on my eMachines. Specs: 6GB DDR2 RAM 750GB HDD AMD Athlon II 235e 2.7GHz Dual Core NVidia GeForce 9800 GT USB Keyboard/mouse Here's the site for more info: http://www.emachines.com/products/products...rod=ET1331G-03w (scroll down for more detailed specifications) I've tried many different distros. iDeneb installed but when I tried to boot it, it took like 20 minutes and then gave me the Grey Screen of Death. iATKOS won't boot from the DVD. iPC also won't boot from the DVD. If you know what drivers to use, what distro to use, any helpful information, etc. then please let me know.

Numeroid Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 more info! ok on the ones that dont boot, boot with -v at chameleon then post a pic where they get stuck. I actually meant they didn't boot AT ALL. When I select the DVD drive as the boot device, my machine just restarts.

sirbow2 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 normaly when it just restarts like that it means that its trying to load an vanilla intel kernel on a AMD machine like yours. on ideneb boot -v and post a pic. pic after 5-10min from the bottom of the screen Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/261181-os-x-on-an-emachines-et1331g-03w/#findComment-1714818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numeroid Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 If it's of any help to people trying to help me, I got OS X to install and run in VMware.
