Rch Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Yes I seem to be having the opposite problem to most people here, in that Installer exits when it gets to the stage where I would select which HD to install the software onto. Pacifist seems to be able to solve this problem for most things so that is ok. But what is the trouble? I see the same screen like I saw in the OSX installation (from DVD) where there are my NTFS hard drives that show a red cross on them, and the mac hard drive which usually has the green symbol. However this HD selection screen only shows for a split second before installer quits. It just quits, it doesn't hang like others seem to experience. Any suggestions? I can't find anything about this scenario... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiekiller Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 i guess my problem with Startup disk might be related. the startup disk utility shows me options for a millisecond and then closes. I would imagine it is something wrong with how you hard drive is set up. I havn't tried this yet, but maybe if you unmount all the other hard drives?

Rch Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 That was a great idea but unfortunately it didn't work, still the same problem with only the mac HD mounted. Bear in mind that I had no problems with this selection during OSX installation (don't know if I made that clear). The problem is only with Installer (Utilities) once macos is running.

bubbageek75 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 What type of processor do you have? I had the same issue on my hyperthreading P4 after a clean install. Disabled HT in BIOS, ran clean install, rebooted, re-enabled HT. No problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rch Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have an AMD X2.. I'm running in mac on one core to stop the stuttering issue. I won't try a clean install, I don't think its necessary, plus it took me bloody ages to get this one running properly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
