juggleling Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hello, I have a medion 8383 XL . intel 3.4 Ghz P4 1 MB cache Western Digital 250 GB Geforce 6610 XL 128 MB DDR 16x dual layer dvd recorder 512 MB ram tv card wlan bluetooth When I try to install OSX 10.4.6 ( 10.4.4 + patch 10.4.5 and patch 10.4.6 ) ( on the second primary partition ) . It installs like it should l ( custom install , deselect amd , select sse3 ) . At the end it does not reboot when it says it's going to reboot . I do a cold reboot , ... it starts up ... I see a lot a text scrolling by when booting ... then the scrolling stops and , and I think the video driver is started ... a black screen appears for a few seconds and then it reboots like there is a serieus hardware problem . Has somebody done a succesfull install on a medion 8383 XL ? Ifso I would be glad to know . Hoping to hear some news .

triofour Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 try some boot options : F8 at startup and then -x -v or -s -v or -f -v with -v you can see diagnostic messages....

juggleling Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hello, I have tried all boot options that you mentioned without any succes or something more to tell . The verbose parameter does not really change anything because I allready see all the logging scrolling on the screen . The crash only occurs AFTER the logging has stopped . 1. System boots 2. Logging passes on the screen , very fast ... unreadable . 3. Scrolling stops . 4. Screen turns black for 2-3 seconds . 5. Client is rebooting automaticly . I think it's a video issue . Has somebody gotten the GEFORCE 6610 working ? Hoping to hear from you .
