codestain Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 This is one desperate attempt to find out how to make osx work in my pc.. I've downloaded almost everything that exists on the internet... Install DVDs : 10.4.6 (several editions): The dvd can't boot! 10.4.7: The dvd can't boot! Jas 10.4.8 SSE3 Intel only: Installs but stucks on boot in the gray apple logo. Fails to load a lot (maybe all) extensions and can't find classes. Jas 10.4.8 AMD-INTEL SSE2-SSE3: Installs, boots, but when the loading is complete and the gray apple is about to go away and the something else is about to show the screen shuts down! (the computer is on) My hardware is: ------------------ System Information ------------------ System Manufacturer: 75D8U System Model: 775Dual-VSTA BIOS: Default System BIOS Processor: Intel® Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 512MB RAM Page File: 362MB used, 886MB available --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: RADEON X550 Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

codestain Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I can see all the files of the drive with the OSX using my linux if there's anything to be fixed.. i'm guessing it's an ati error? I didn't find a patch for my video card and selected the patches where it said ati-radeon.. Anyone can help me?

bsgjunkie Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Try installing 10.4.8 again but this time use the custom install and uncheck everything but the intel - A lot of ATI cards have been having problems during boot and the drivers located on the CD fail during boot.
