homers Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hi I have the hacked Mac version 10.4.1. When I boot from the DVD it shows the white screen with the Apple logo in the middle and a little segment circle thing that keeps turning round, roughly 10 seconds later a small circle with a line through it, you know like the ones on road signs but it is very small and black appears and it never gets past that phase. What is wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markandeya Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Two min. ago I saw the similar topic. I am going to give you the same advice Macgirl gave it. Start with -v and lets see what is the problem. To go to the boot menu press F8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macgirl Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hey, WRONG Forum, this is for GUIDES not Questions, then move to a proper one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markandeya Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 It is looking for the root device. It is possible that it is the same problem I had it. You should connect your harddrive and dvdrom from the same cable. It worked for me. If this doesn't work lets check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homers Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 It's in the mac OSX86 installation forum. Did you move it. If so then thanks and I am sorry I posted in the wrong forum? Can anyone help with the error I have on the screenshot above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markandeya Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I don't think the earlier version then 10.4.7 is supporting sata but here how I did with my sata(it was version 10.4.7). I put one hd just to trick mac with the same cable dvdrom. Then I chose sata hd after it started. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_muad_dib Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 make sure you're not firewalled & or behind a router, if so you need to open the right ports for azureus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Baron Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I am behind a router so what ports do I need to edit and how? Also, sorry for double posting but how do I get rid of the upload spped which is slowiung it down? You need to get access to your routers web-based config screen, usually at 192.168.0.1 Then allow a range of ports to be forwarded to your pcs ip address. Then choose one of these ports in Azureus, and it should be open... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homers Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi I got MAC version 10.4.6 but the problem still persists. I have tried using just one S-ATA hard drive and one Master disk drive but that also doesn't work. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
