Well, you have more luck than me.

 

I have the same PC but I even can't install.

Not with the Jas 10.4.7 or the 10.4.8 SSE3

 

It just reboots after a few seconds.

 

I tried the -v -cpus=1 platform=X86PC options

I disabled CPUID MAXVAL in the BIOS ...

 

No luck

 

Did you change something in your BIOS?

What are your boot options?

 

Thanks

hi Axethrower,

 

first thing: i wasnt able to install it on the sata hd! i replaced the cd-rom with an ide-hd. then it worked fine.

 

but startup worked just one time after install (as described). so i put the -f flag into the boot list. see http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...he_boot_options

 

everything works except:

sound

restart function

sleep modus

some informations in system profiler

onboard-ethernet

 

 

 

regards

hi!

 

so as i have told you - i succesfully installed tiger on my ide drive with:

 

10.4.8 combo update

semthex kernel

drivers for via ATA support

 

when you startup, you have to press F8. the type -f. otherwise startup stops with some message like "waiting for devices"....

 

but now i already have succed with insatlling on a partition on my SATA drive!!! you need to choose AHCI in BIOS (periphals-->sata/IDE ctrl mode) instead of IDE. then you can access your SATA HD while installation! with acronis os chooser it works - without you will get a HFS+ partition error! although its a primary and active partition...

 

maybe you will try it also on your SATA drive - so tell me whats your experiences...

 

tiger on my IDE runs very stabile.

sometimes tiger on my SATA hd dont startup sometimes it do - and chrashes more often - dont know whats the problem. maybe the AppleVIAATA.kext works not smoothly....

 

does anybody have an idea what to do...when it hangs at startup on my SATA, it often stops at a blue screen with mouse cursor available at a very low resolution. when i startup with -v shortly before it stops, there is a message with: kextd_watch_volumes diskarb not ready.... then the blue screen appears....

Thanks Triofour,

 

I will try to install my 10.4.8 later and also on the SATA.

 

Some info about diskarb I found here

 

click

 

Maybe this will help.

 

Isn't there a possibility to change the topic to : Medion 8818 installations problems ?

UPDATE : Installation on IDE works !! The -f option did the job!

Now I go for sound and video :(

I installes USB 2 update and usb doesn't work anymore so next time I don't install this

hy!

 

try titan for video - for me it works fine.... with sound i absolutely didnt succeed. look here:

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=35108

 

another question would be: how to get system profiler to work ("errors gathering informations") - so does it run with 2 cpus or just one??!!

 

and: the TV-card..... eye-tv would be great ;-)

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...amp;mode=linear

 

system profiler gives me following infos:

Hardware Overview:

 

Machine Name: Mac

Machine Model: ACPI

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Solo

Processor Speed: 1.4 GHz

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 1

Memory: 1 GB

i have installed the latest semthex kernel with:

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...l=kernel+update

 

 

worked great, and have a look:

 

Machine Name: Mac

Machine Model: ACPI

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 1.86 GHz

Number Of Processors: 1

Total Number Of Cores: 2

L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB

Memory: 1 GB

Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

 

 

more speed, but just one core... step by step ;-)

 

 

 

tell me more about your sound experiences! another question: do you can restart your machine? on mine it dont work. shutdown function is ok!

Hmm now I got a bigger problem ...

 

I used the script to update the kernel and now I'm back to basic...

Always have a reboot after loading a bunch of kext...

 

Now even the -x -f -v -s cpus=1 ... do not work :(

 

Damn damn damn !

 

Guess I need to reinstall .. again :(

Still no luck running the new kernel :(

Repair permissions didn't change it

 

Which install/changes did you do?

 

I have the JAS10.4.8 SSE3 install and didn't do any updates.

Did you use a combo update or somehting?

hi!

 

so i already had the newest kernel running - then my hackintosh went in sleep modus. so i had to reset, since that point i've the sam problem as you. dont know what to do....starting the old kernel works.

 

reinstall the new kernel didnt fix it....

 

 

so my config at install was: combo update 10.4.8, semthex kernel, and via SATA kext

 

 

another question: how did you install/configure the driver for the via rhine II adapter. when i try to run with the sh-script, it always crashes my complete system....
