Hi everyone, I have a quick question that will hopefully be easy to answer. I'm running a rig I built, and am trying to get OS X on it with the jas 10.4.6 install dvd.

 

DVD: It's a DVD+R and I just burned the iso to it using a freeware app called Burn4free. The disc booted on an old Dell I have, although I couldn't read anything on the screen - not sure if that was just a display issue? I'm assuming it was something along those lines and that the dvd works.

 

Hardware: Board: Intel DG965RY --> Intel® G965 Express Chipset --> 6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem using the SigmaTel* STAC9227 audio codec --> Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3000 (Intel® GMA X3000) onboard graphics subsystem

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz, SSE3 Capable

 

Also, Sony DRU 800a DVD drive, Seagate 160gb hdd

 

**Let me know if more info is needed about the hardware

 

Problem: After partitioning the hdd and booting with the Jas DVD, Darwin starts to load and then when the grey screen with the apple logo comes up, it hangs there without even showing the spinning circle thing at the bottom of the screen like it did on my Dell. When I boot with the -v option this is what comes up, then it hangs:

I'm completely new to this, so for all I know it is something as simple as enabling/disabling something in my bios. I tried sifting through the wiki and searching old posts to find a possible answer, but honestly I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for. I did find something in the wiki that mentioned success with a board similar to mine took converting a parallel dvd drive to USB, so I took the converter out of my external hdd enclosure and hooked my dvd drive up that way, same problem. Sorry if I had to waste anyone's time with an easy problem, I messed with this for most of the day before I bugged you all. Any suggestions will be appreciated ;)

it does work according to this guy

 

TPM can be disabled in the BIOS. so that isn't the issue.

 

this seems to be an issue with the 965 chipset in general.

 

basically, your install DVD needs to be in the same SATA controller as your Hard drive. Or in a USB enclosure. But it won't install or see your SATA drives if you install from an IDE DVD-ROM. Great ain't it?
