Gustin Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Alright, I dd'ed the tiger-x86.img to an external hard drive. I rebooted and set my bios to boot to the USB memory. Then I get a screen that just has the word GRUB. There's a flashing cursor afterwards, but I'm not able to type anything. Did I miss a step during install? Am I missing something? Thanks.

Gustin Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Alright, my external hard drive is actually an internal drive with an enclosure. I took it out of the enclosure and installed it in a spare machine. No go. I still get the blank screen with just the word GRUB on it. I haven't actually gotten to installing OSX yet. All I did was DD the img file over. Any ideas... anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banz Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 isn't the tigerx86 image totally out of date? u shouldnt be using that anyway. Like most of the applications on it doesnt work... get the jas 10.4.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yes, it is 10.4.1 and because Apple changed OSX starting with 10.4.3, very few current OSX Intel apps work with it. Find a current version iso, burn it and install it like 10.4.6, 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 (SSE3 only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustin Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ahh. I was wondering if it was really out of date. I'll have to do a search for one of the JaS images. I'm running on a Toshiba A105. It has SSE3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banz Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 oh btw i have tried installing it to an usb too. but it was weird cos i couldnt get it to boot unless the jas 10.4.8 jas dvd is in. just shows a blinking - when booted without the dvd. so i tried installing to the hdd and then clone it using norton to the usb. it works fine after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustin Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 My BIOS should allow for USB boot up, so I'm not too worried about that. I'm gonna download the JaS 10.4.8 image, so we'll see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
