Hi All

Last night i partitioned a seperate disk, used dd to write tiger-x86.img and have setup dual boot.

 

However

I get the dual boot menu,

choose Mac OS X

I then get a black screen with Darwin/X86 on it

after that i get a white screen with the apple symbol on it and a rotating cursor

after about a minute i then get a small grey no entry sign over the apple symbol.

 

I have left the machine however it does not go any further.

 

I am using a USB keyboard and mouse

 

My machine is a

 

Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 630

MSI 925X Neo Platinum motherboard

4GB DDR2 533 memory

Nvidia 6800 Ultra 256

 

Anybody got any ideas as what could be wrong?

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi All

 

I downloaded Jas 10.4.8 install DVD, but i am still getting the same issue.

 

The install went really well, booted of the DVD first time, keyboard and mouse worked and only took about 15-20 mins to install.

 

At the end of the install, it asks for a restart, which it did but hung on 'MACH Reboot', so i used the reset button on the box.

 

The machine starts and darwin bootloader runs then i get

a white screen with the apple symbol on it and a rotating cursor

after about a minute i then get a small grey no entry sign over the apple symbol.

 

What does this error mean? how do i fix it?

 

I have removed all other drives and os x is the only OS on the drive

 

My machine is a

Intel Pentium 4 processor 630 (3GHZ)

MSI 925X Neo Platinum motherboard

2GB DDR2 533 memory

Nvidia 6800 256mb

 

Thanks for your help

Hi All

 

I found that i was pressing F8 at the wrong time, and the previous screen shot i provided was while booting from the install DVD.

 

However i have now discovered that i need to press the F8 key just before the Darwin Screen starts and thereby giving me true boot options, i have tried -F and -X and i still get the apple logo with the no entry sign.

However if i use the -v option it hangs on

 

"Still waiting for root device"

 

 

I take it that it is waiting for the hard drive?

 

I have made sure that the drive is on master and the dvd drive is on slave, and the hard drive is set to active.

 

Any ideas how to fix the issue?

 

Cheers

Steve

Hi,

 

Have you included any of the Patches that are not for your particular CPU model???

 

There is a customise button you should click during installation, do not install the patches that are not relevant to your machine, there is a description for each patch shown.

 

cheers,

Ro
