yagran Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) I downloaded this osx86 with the patch pre applied via torrent and burnt it to disk. Im pretty sure my hardware is compatible as its only a standard dell. But in all honesty im pretty unsure about what im supposed to have done pre installation. I dont want any dualboot or anything, i just want it to have mac osx on it. So what i did was put the disk in, erase the hard drive and format it to mac journal, then i clicked install. it went through the whole installation hassle free and restarte. i was like wow, this was easy and then pow, on restart nothing just an error on boot saying 'b0 error' please help me! :pirate2: Edited December 23, 2006 by yagran Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36628-osx86-errorslatitude-x300/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

yagran Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) ok so i cant find any info about this at all. im guessing its an error on my part, either that or my hardware isnt compatible....any help at all would be good. i wish i could just afford a mac mini so i wudnt hav to do all this... how would i go about doing that? i have no press f8 option, it jus says loading darwin and then loads osx, then crashes. thanks Edited December 23, 2006 by yagran Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36628-osx86-errorslatitude-x300/#findComment-260628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 When you clicked the Install button, to the left is a Customize button. You must click that and select packages for your computer. Click the little arrows to reveal the individual packages.

Rammjet Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 sound - follow the Audio link in my signature and read about Sigmatel 9750 ethernet - follow the Ethernet link in my signature and read about Broadcom 57xx wireless - there is no solution for this on OSX. Buy an external USB device or investigate replacing the internal wireless card with a compatible device.
