sopaman Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) I tried to install OSx86 with, I believe, Jas' autoinstall DVDs 10.4.3 and 10.4.7 (not sure right now about the versions thou). I inserted the discs and rebooted the computer. The Apple, well, apple appeared on screen over a grey bg, but after a few seconds the only thing I get is a "forbidden" sign in the middle of the screen, over the apple and I have to restart my system. Is there any way to install Osx86 on a P965-based motherboard for a Core2Duo processor? (It's a gigabyte) Edited January 9, 2007 by sopaman Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38139-keep-on-getting-a-forbidden-sign-when-i-try-to-install-x86-on-my-p965-based-computer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
3on Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Did you checked with CPU-Z under Windows, that your CPU is SSE2 or SSE3 compatible ?

xplizid Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) i have the same mobo. same problem as you described. if you boot your dvd into verbose mode, -v at start up it will show you your error - (waiting for root devices) - has to do with sata i believe or what ive been told. i have not suceeded on install with 10.4.7 dvd along with the new sse2/sse3 10.4.8 jas dvd. should be able to install through vmware havent fooled around with that much. what worked for me was the jas 10.4.8 intel sse3 only repackage reseed release it booted right up and installed great, grab that release and then just install the new 8.8.1 kernel all should be well. good luck.

sopaman Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Thank you very much. My system's pretty much like yours so your solution should work just fine. It'll look up that release and lets see how it goes.

sopaman Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Tried Jas 10.4.8 SSE3 ONLY ver. and I still keep getting the forbidden sign when trying to install. I'll list my full specs: CPU: Intel Core2Duo 6400 RAM: 1GB@667Mhz Video:Nvidia GeForce 7600GS 512MB MB: Gigabyte P965 S3 HD: (1)320GB SATA2, (2) 80GB DVDRW: Pioneer 111 Others: mem card reader, microsoft wireless keyboard+mouse (tried with normal ones too). Tried -v mode and it says it can't find the root or something along those lines. Any idea of what might be the problem? I don't know what to do anymore...

Soündless Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 configure your hd as IDE in bios Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38139-keep-on-getting-a-forbidden-sign-when-i-try-to-install-x86-on-my-p965-based-computer/#findComment-274731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Try booting with -v -f and tell us what message you get. Also try and put the drives (DVD and HDD) on the same channel. That suggestion was the one that did it for me.
