Uh, I have the following problem: While booting the installer-DVD (tried JaS 10.4.7 and also JaS 10.4.6) the computer gets to the grey screen and then to the blue screen, but before any installer-dialogue appears the system is halted, the computer shuts down (approx. after 7 minutes booting with 10.4.7, and 6 minutes with 10.4.6).

I attached the last output I get when using the -v-Option on the 10.4.7-installer (10.4.6 gives me a different output). Can anyone tell me what went wrong? (I have a Micro-Star 850 Pro mainboard (MS-6339) with Pentium 4/SSE2.)

 

Oh, and I also have an OSX 10.4.3-image in bin/cue-format, but whatever Mac-application I use I can't burn it on a DVD (unfortunately I don't have a PC with DVD-burning capability). I tried all kind of burning-applications, but so far I only found Toast which can handle these bin-files correctly - but on my Mac Toast is unable to burn DVDs that a PC could boot from, doh! And LiquidCD seems to be only able to burn CDs, but not DVDs. Does anyone know a different OSX-burning utility for bin-files?

Strangest error I've ever seen. Looks like it tried to run one of the programs that it runs prior to installation and it crashed. Never have seen this before.

 

My suggestion is that the DVD needs to be burned at the slowest speed possible or the iso is corrupt somehow.

 

For the bin/cue, you don't need to burn the DVD for booting on a PC. The iso is a hybrid image that has a small section formatted so the BIOS can read it (as FAT16 I believe) and start the boot. The rest of the DVD is formatted as HFS+ for OSX. Just burn the bin/cue to DVD at the slowest speed possible. Try to use only dvd-r or dvd+r because -rw and +rw can sometimes cause problems.

I already tried burning the DVDs (both the 10.4.7-dmg and the 10.4.6-iso) with 1x-speed instead of 2x - same result. What I tried today is burning the 10.4.7-DVD on a different computer, but again no luck :-( Damn, I'm running low on DVD-R, but I guess many people here encountered this problem.

Oh well, probably my hardware is incompatible, which would be quite unsatisfying, though... I want to look deeper into the 10.4.3-bin-image, but I'm not really sure if this one is meant to be a intel-OSX-image at all.
