GnomeSane Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Greetings all. I've searched high and low (including on this forum), but I can't find an answer for this. I'm trying to get the Tiger Install R1 working on my IBM ThinkPad T42 laptop using VMWare Workstation 5. The Darwin bootload starts, I get the apple logo and the spinning circle, and then a message that says (in four languages) "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button". If I do the install with the -v switch, it looks like it panics at panic(cpu 0 caller 0xC0265EA6): nfs_boot_init failed with 6 It then gives some debug info/addresses, and terminates with invalid frame pointer 0xc7aabfd4 ethernet MAC address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 ip address: 0.0.0.0 Waiting for remote debugger connection kdp_poll: no debugger device Like I said, I cannot find an answer to this anywhere and I'm totally stumped. Can someone lend a brother a hand? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4461-installer-hangs-at-you-need-to-restart-your-computer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnomeSane Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 I figured it out! Having VMWare use the Tiger ISO image as it's CD-ROM drive caused the kernal panics. If I try to load from a burned DVD on my physical DVD-ROM drive, or if I set the ISO image up as a vitual drive in Daemon Tools first, it works fine. Now to try to get networking and sound working...

archi386 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 When you panic at nfs_boot_init, it is because no valid root partition to start up from is found (so as a last resort it tries to do a network file system boot, but that doesn't work). It's kind of strange that it doesn't go back to using the partition it is currently booting from (on the CD) -- it seems to be distracted by other HFS partitions on other disks. I've had that same problem. In the past I think it was because I had an empty HFS primary partition that is found before the bootable one, and the booter will only boot from the first primary HFS partition it finds. I can never install from a CD/DVD. My IDE disk is secondary master and my IDE CD is primary master (just because my optical drive is closer to the primary connector on the motherboard and is too far away from my disk to be the slave on the short IDE cable.) The kernel panics I'm getting now aren't nfs_boot_init, but something else now though (using patched 10.4.3) Probably not related, but for what it's worth.

Potemkin Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I get this message whenever there is Quartz used. I.e. when I try running Preview natively, without Rosetta, loading a screen saver, or now, after a 10.4.3 update, when I load up a website with some flash graphics in Safari (apparently the "updated flash plugin" is causing it). Any idea about how to resolve that? It was kinda fun trying to turn off the screen saver, cause it would freeze whenever I go into Preferences. I ended up just trashing all the screen savers from /System/Library/Screen Savers, and then setting the timer to Never. Preview is also fixable. But flash plugin...Ah.. Bound to use Camino for now, I guess. Or firefox.

mitnickismyhomie Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 wow i get the same thing too but my scrren turns all yellow. I am not sure what this is. But i discovered when i unplug both my NTFS drives the bootup just puts an circle with a cross on this screen. Looks exactly like an ipod one. Then when i plug in either of the NTFS drives it gives me this screen even when i plug in the slave and not the windows bootable one HELP?!?!?

Potemkin Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 mitnicki - Boot in verbose mode (type in "-v" when you're promted to choose which partition to boot from) and note the line where it gets stuck. It will probably say "still waiting for the root device", but you can at least see what is causing it.

.robert Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I'm not finished yet, with getting the OS up, but here's a possible hint: Use VirtualCloneDrive for windows (or a similar program) to mount the ISO on your real computer. This has the host os believing it has another CDROM and mounts the OSX iso as if it were a CD/DVD. Now setup VMWare to use the host CDRom, and point it to the VirtualCloneDrive. I've had the nfs error/you need to reboot message, but now I seem to be installing. I'll update everyone if I get further. I think this is likely related to the reports that the iso doesn't work, but a burned DVD does. I have my vm thinking its a real dvd.

Amazondani Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I'm having this same problem on the notebook described below. My machine, currently has only one partition(NTFS) for windows XP, and I'm trying to install 10.4.3 Can somebody please help me on getting this thing to work ???? I'd really appreciated ! NOTE: I've tried to install this version before, but all i would get was a screen stopping on ACPI stuff, or at BSD root device..

Amazondani Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 The Kula Did you tried to install trough VMware? Maybe, your problem is related to a bad instalation, when doing it native. And instead of using the chain0 method, use acronis boot selector, witch gives you a nice graphical interface upon boot and lets you chose witch OS to boot or any other boot selector you whant, even darwin's one! Certify that the partition you are trying to install is primary, too. Hope you can get this up and runing Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4461-installer-hangs-at-you-need-to-restart-your-computer/#findComment-107975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kula Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 i had trouble find acronis boot selector. all icould find was some crappy demo on the main page. Whats the best way to tell if the partition is a primary?

Amazondani Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Use Ubuntu 5.10, witch comes with Gparted(same as partition magic) there will be shown if you OS X partition is primary or extended.

belgrano Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 ...partition magic just shows that drive as yellow. That happened to me a few times when I tried to install some Linux, some time ago. The partitions were fine on the HDD (I mean I could boot and everything was ok), but the only way to make PM see the partitions as they were was to completely erase the HDD and create the partitions again.
