megavolkan Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Sorry guys; i have the exact problem same as yours But you cannot find the answer around here becuase i tried to ask it in a hundred different style but had no working answer because noone knows a solution around this BECAUSE our mobos have this damn s**t Jmicron chip and we cannot boot X86 install DVD in that situation. Unless you get rid of your P965 mobo or use external USB optical drive you cannot install OS X 86 I hate the day i decided to buy a p965 mobo HEY I KILLED OS X 86!!!!! ME {censored}!!!!!!! GOOD NEWS: there is a so called Jmicron patch. BAD NEWS: It doesn't work!!!!

ordinarychild Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yeah, the Jmicron patch didn't work for me either, but installing using the VMWare method worked rather well and your CD/DVD drive will be recognized upon install - haven't tried burning with it yet, but the profiler recognizes it, so should work as well.

freedomlinux Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I also have this problem on a Gateway MA6 notebook (late 2006) Running VMware Server 1.0.1 CPU = Intel Core Duo T2500 Yonah at dual 2.00GHz MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 2 cores, 2 threads L2 Cache = 2048k Motherboard = Gateway (unknown model) Chipset = Intel i945GM Southbridge = Intel 82801GM (ICH7-M DH) BIOS = Phoenix Technologies VTD 71.08 (dated 08/21/2006) 2x 512MB DDR2 PC2-4300 RAM 640MB allocated to x86 in VMware Using the JAS 10.4.6 image (ISO) Using image directly from computer (not burned DVD) Using 1 processors Get the following upon boot: Darwin/x86 bot v5.0.132 639MB memory VESA v2.0 16MB (V M ware, Inc.

I would like to try Mac OS X on x86 before purchasing a MacBook so I know exactly how I can expect it to work. I do not believe I have any Jmicron chips. I also do not have an external DVD drive, but if you can guarantee it to work, I will certainly consider it.

geez Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 One other thing you could try is to make sure, when you partition the disk you're going to install OS X onto, that you ensure you create only one big partition. Choose '1 partition' in Disk Utility. I think I may have had two partitions (one tiny one, and one big one - the default) when I got this problem before.

killerz Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Guys, i solved the problem already. For me, i had the same problem with you guys. Cant get it to boot on a DVD. Same error message. I figured out setting slave and master settings on my drive and it doesn't work. Suddenly i taught of RAID and SATA. Because my motherboard only has one primary IDE, i took the DVD Drive from IDE 2 and connect with the HDD together. I set the drive to SLAVE. in this case, it can read already. And im typing this while the apple is loading for installation Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40978-system-config-file-missing/#findComment-336397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
