zandi Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I used Apple.OS.X.x86.10.4.Generic.Install.DVD on my Dell inspiron 8600 to install MAC. after the installation, and used darwin boot, then came the little cute apple icon on the center of the screen, but then became a yellow screen with a message that said " you must restart your computer by holding power button... bla bla bla" but it did not tell the reason that why should I restart my computer. So then I stuck at the screen forever. Does anyone had tried it before please let me know your advice. Thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2916-cannot-use-mac-after-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
