spos86 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I just bought a Abit AW8D mother board, the installation goes smoothly with Jas 10.4.8 with the semethex 8.8.1 kernell, but once it boots i get the restart screen. My question is, has anyone installed OSx86 on Abit AW8D? Any one can help me with my prolem?

Gmanater Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) I also have an Abit AW8, but I don't think it caused any of the problems with the installation. I tried 10.4.8 first(it was the disc), and it gave me errors, so I tried 10.4.6. I also had the restart screen, but I attributed it to the changing of my active partition since one guide said your "computer will unusable for up to an hour" after changing the active partition. As odd as this seems, I just waited awhile, and sure enough the installation disk booted correctly. I dont think this really helps you, but from my days upon days of partition editing and Mac OS installation, I think that it has something to do with your partition configurations. I would make sure you set your OS X partition to active before booting of the installation disk. Oh, and I haven't found any ethernet drivers yet.
