InkMaster Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm tried installing "JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso" (JaS 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 v1p patched) on a Dell B130 - and after installation; no matter what I choose to install it just flashes the "_" on a black screen - however the installation seems to go by without any problems. Before it I had 10.4.6 installed and all worked except for the wireless and audio. What's interesting is that once it did boot after installing but w/o anything working... So am I missing something or what? Thanks.

coucou Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 seems to be a a root partition not found. boot with install dvd an type : F8 and rd=disk1s1 where disk1s1 can be disk1s2 or the # of your harddrive where you put os x ... the simply thing to test your install is to disable ALL the other hd in your bios (just the os x one) and will boot..

InkMaster Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hmm; strangely enough I tried installing again just like it installed before and it went through w/o any problems this time - however this time I tried installing w/o any of the drivers for the video/audio/wireless etc etc... so yeah... now the pain in the ass of trying to get this all to work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42955-cant-boot-after-installation-flashing-_-on-black-bg/#findComment-307029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Put the DVD in and open it on desktop. Go to System folder and find Install packages, you can look through and click whatever ones you need to install. Hopefully you wont end up with the same problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42955-cant-boot-after-installation-flashing-_-on-black-bg/#findComment-307036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkMaster Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) @joe75 -- thats what I'm trying to do right now, but like the sound still doesnt work after installing the package; then after installing the 900 video driver expose along w/ all other quarz-based effects look choppy as hell (when I had 10.4.6 installed everything was smooth as silk) - then I cant get wireless or even ethernet to work.. oh but yay! I did get the battery indicator working - never worked before --sigh... its after things like this that you actually start to appreciate how easy to use "real" macs are Edited February 20, 2007 by InkMaster Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42955-cant-boot-after-installation-flashing-_-on-black-bg/#findComment-307065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
