JamesZero Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) I have installed OSX on my PC. I went to the custom options and ticked the AMD & Intel bit... After the installation I got a "b0 error" so I found a guide on marking the partition as active and followed that, this got me passed the b0 error. This is what happens now: When I boot the PC (I havent got the DVD in the drive) then first screen that comes up is one saying press any key for boot options, it has a 10 second count down. After that it comes up saying it loading loads of files (similar to what it looks like when you boot XP into safe mode) After a while that just stops and it doesnt load any futher. The final bit of txt it sticks on says: Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 8.4.1 Tue Jan 3 10:23:53 PST 2006 root:xnu-702.7.90.obj~1/RELEASE_I386 anyone got any ideas?

srs2388 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Are you saying you checked both AMD and intel? if you did that is one of your problems... only check one of them... you should delete the partition and reinstall... before you do that... click start then run, type diskpart then push enter. when that comes up make it list the disk (if you have more than one hard drive). select the disk you want to install it on... type now assuming you have 2 hard drives and want to install it on one of them type this. create partition primary id=af when that completes type active then push enter. then boot from your DVD. if you only have one hard drive and want it on a partition... select your disk and type something like. create partition primary size=(the size you want) id=af then type active. This should help you out. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42846-booting-problems/#findComment-306269 Share on other sites More sharing options...

srs2388 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 only the intel patch probably, using the others can cause a kernal panic Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42846-booting-problems/#findComment-306295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesZero Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 thanks for all your help. When I said which patches I just ment there are a couple of different ones for intel... SS3 and SS2 or something like that... Do I just tick both for core 2 due? or is it a specific one? Thanks once again.
