Tring to install osx 10.4.7 "duel boot" my computer cpu is sse2 and sse3. and the chipset is i945GM . I am using Jas 10.4.7 install dvd-r burt from .iso with disk utility in osx. So the dvd is ok 99.9% sure anyway! 1) Ok, I have installed with none of the paches from the dvd. Just the basic's no printer sturff just the basic's. And I get the furthest by doing this. The boot stops/locks up at the loading mac osx with the blue bar,and I have to hold down the power button to get it to restart ! 2) Install with the sse2 patch or the sse3 patch and after reboot it stops just after the grey apple screen and the spinner wheel. When it gets to the blue screen, but loading mac osx screen never starts ! So I have no idea where to go from here PLEASE PLEASE help me.

docmac Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Thank you for posting so fast Mcdull. So will I have to use and external moniter, or just to get notebook moniter to work ? I guess the GMA diplay card is the worst cards to have. I thought this was the same card apple used in their macbooks ? Did you get your built in display to work ? Thanks I will look at more of the old post's ! for the 900 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34207-osx-locks-up-at-starting-osx-1047-wo-any-patch/#findComment-242307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
docmac Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 I just wanted to update my install. I now have 10.4.7 installed and working very well. The problem I was having was the boot was locking up at the blue screen, after the grey apple screen. I did not know exactly what patches/programs to install on my vaio notebook. I have an intel core solo sse, sse2, and sse3. I have learned that the newer cpu's are mostly sse3. What I found was if your computer supports sse2 and sse3 to install the sse3 patch.( not both ) The reason the boot was locking up is I did not have the update to 10.4.7 box checked to install. I thought originally that was only to update from 10.4.6 . So I did some searching to find out why the boot was locking up at startup. What I read was the other people who were having this problem,they thought is was due to having a certain display /graphics card. Alot of the people have the GMA900 from intel, which is what I have. Some people say you have to hook up an external moniter to get the OS to boot. But with me at least that was not the case. My notebook specs: Sony Vaio VGN-N11OG intel core solo with sse,sse2,sse3 support intel GMA900 Card windows xp and osx 10.4.7 What I installed of the disk: core install programs (standard ) 10.4.7 update GMA900 support wireless networking support OSX is running very well and most power pc apps install and run. My next thing is to get wifi working, and sound. Not sure what the problem is there. So I hope this helps someone, I know it would of helped me when I was starting. Thanks to those who helped me. And to all that make this site what it is Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34207-osx-locks-up-at-starting-osx-1047-wo-any-patch/#findComment-242978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
