Angad Kingra Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I've been trying to install the 10.4.8 release with the disk util patches and everything, but each time it starts installing i.e. when I have selected everything and the installer starts to copy files. I've tried burning three different dvds and have tried installing atleast a dozen times but it freezes while copying files. It doesn;t freeze at the same position every time. What could be the problem, please help me out. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43827-freezes-while-installing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Well, it could be many things. Maybe you could post your system specs first? hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43827-freezes-while-installing/#findComment-313305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himlaklar Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I borrow this thread, I have the exact same problem! I have tried both 4 diferent versions now of the osx86 release, 10.4.6 (Myz and JaS) and 10.4.8 (JaS and TubeGirl/AMD-dvd) Anyway. I get into the installation, but it freezes while installing. Often very early in the process but sometimes it goes to 50-70% of the installation and then just stops. The graphics keeps showing and windows are movable but its like the cd stops responding. I have also done two succesfull installations, and when its sucessfull the installation goes fast and gets through easily. My specs are (working according to HCL) AMD 3800+ Venice MSI K8N Neo-4 Geforce 6800GS IDE harddrive I thought that the harddrive was to hot at first, and cooled it down, as it would be a typical error if the harddrive stops responding. Now I am thinking is more a CD-error of some kind. I also get all kinds of wierd errors, from time to time, completely out of nowhere! At once try I can have SATA enabled in bios and the installation boots fine, but in another try I might get the IOATA blocking bus error, even though nothing have changed, isnt that WIERD? I have burned all copies on DVD+R, could DVD-R do any difference? I am also thinking of changing cd/dvd-reader. any suggestions?

Himlaklar Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Update: Problem solved Cause: DVD-reader! Changed to another dvd-reader and installation went smooth.
