helgansven Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Trying to install 10.4.7 on my computer. I have created a FAT32, Primary partition on my hard drive. When I boot from the DVD, I get the errors shown here in the picture. Then it just stops. And here is a bit of info about my computer from Everest...

helgansven Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Are there any special command/switches i can use when Darwin starts that might help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helgansven Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have tried to rule out hardware configurations by moving the hard drive and dvd burner around. I had two hard drives and two dvd burners in the computer, so I removed one hard drive and one dvd burner. I put the hard drive on IDE0 as master and the dvd on the same IDE as slave, but still the same. Then I moved the dvd to IDE1 as master, but still the same. I even hooked up a hard drive to USB, but still the same errors. I burned two seperate DVDs to try to eliminate that as a problem. I used Alcohol to burn them and used the slowest speed while burning. I see others in this forum getting it installed on computers with less power then mine. I can't figure it out. I'm beating my head against the wall here. Please, somebody throw me a bone here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeadman Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 had the same problem, fixed it by this method go into bios, make ide controller "native" rather than legacy, disable sata ( can't remember if it disables automatically or not) make sure pata only is selected, basically you wont have sata - everything else in bios can be made as you want it. you should have no install probs anymore. oh if you get it installed and find a working solution for the LAN and Audio, give me a hoy, i've been looking everywhere for a working solution, not found... yet. (the audio drivers for alc665 +via chipset don't work since this is alc +intel 865pe chipset too bad ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
