michaelA Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) hello everyone, first of all, here are the details of my pc: cpu: amd athlon 64 3500+ with sse2 and sse3 mobo: asus a8n-sli se ram: samsung ddr 400mhz 2x512mb grafik card: sapphire x800gto² with modded bios (16 pixelpipelines) hdd: 160 gb samsung IDE 5400 u/min (15 gb primary partion for osx reserved) so, i hope this is enough:-) second - the situation: i installed the 10.4.8 version with amd drivers included (nvidia40) and i used the tutorial in this forum: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36516 i made every as told in the tutorial with the primary partition and the boot manager and the drivers. osx has been installed properly and i also activated the amd drivers, but when i try to start the os, i only get a black screen with some coloured stripes in it. sometimes there are two red stripes and sometimes the are white and blue stripes. the first time, i thought, this is some kind of loading screen, but it never changes.:-( unfortunately i cannot find any mistake during the installation process, which makes it very hard for me to fix the problem. maybe one of you experienced users can see, what i have done wrong. when i start os x, i can type some boot options. maybe i have to activate something or install some drivers in advance, but in the tutorial, nothing is mentioned about this.... maybe this one is for intel users.... i hope one of you guys can help me much greetings from the very cold munich michael Edited January 26, 2007 by michaelA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
