kopoko Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hello, AMD 3700+ Nforce4 A8N-E 7800GTX Using the Jas 10.4.7 AMD iso I can get all the way to writing files part of the installer. As soon as it hits 1% it hangs, no dvd activity. Just wondering if it's because I'm trying to install it on SATA, whilst my dvd drive is on the PATA bus? In the custom install section: I selected the Jas custom install bits aswell, but I only chose both SSE2, and SSE3. AMD kernel, and AMD update 10.4.7, patched wireless, VIA.SATA. Also i deselected all the print drivers, as well as the language translations for less bloat. I did the disk util bit successfully, and the terminal fdisk part as well, so I thought it would be plain sailing from there I did do a search on the net before posting this aswell. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30390-hangs-on-writing-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopoko Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 just an update. I got it working by installing onto an ATA hd. new problem: gets into osx fine after install. but for subsequent reboots it hangs trying to load the nforce driver/kext? I just get a repeating message of: waiting for root device Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/30390-hangs-on-writing-files/#findComment-210818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
