jan_187 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I had to use ps2 (both keyboard and mouse) while installing. I kept connected my USB-stuff, wasnt a problem. After installing, when OSX was booted, I installed USB-drivers from http://developer.apple.com/hardwaredrivers...d/usbdebug.html and rebooted, USB worked from then on. I still have my ps2-stuff connected as well, no problems.

noxdg Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I've had this before too. Like the others mentioned, try using a PS2 keyboard. It's strange, but I've found (with my countless installs) that there are times where the USB just doesn't kick in. But the majority of times there wasn't a problem. A couple times even after the install my USB keyboard would not function. But at that point, a simple unplug/replug fixes it.

jan_187 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Is it possible to get the USB drivers to load BEFORE the initial installtion starts somehow?

wondergod Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 what was the error? right before you clicked the install button did you click the customize button to the left of it. Chosse the packages necessary for your processor/system. if your not sure post the specs and someone might be able to help you out with the necessary choices.

Rammjet Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 a screen saying "0 error" or just "error" Could it have said "b0 error"? If so, that means you need to set your OSX partition active (bootable). Use a Windows or Linux disk or partition utility or use Fdisk built into OSX: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=22844 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/29842-problem-installing-mac-x86-jas/#findComment-207513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevincadogan Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 more than likely thats probally what it was.is it common for it too freeze like that though?so i can set it active through the diskutility in mac osx before i install?ill try it in vmware tommorrow,and see how it goes.
