ampsonic Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I've installed tiger to it's own drive, that seemed to go fine, I am stuck at this point Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.122 1023MB Memory Vesa 2.0 128MB(ATI R300) Use arrow keys to select the starting volume hd(0,1) tiger-x86 Press enter to start up Darwin/x86.... boot: If i just hit enter, something flashes so fast I can't see it and then right back to this screen, same with -v or -x or -s or -v -x My guess is that this means I've got incompatible hardware? Running Asus K8V with AMD Athlon 64 3000+ NewCastle Ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4507-darwinx86-boot-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
miranda363 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Which install method are you using? e.g. Deadmoo image or DVD Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4507-darwinx86-boot-problem/#findComment-28743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJägermeister Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Deadmoo image 1) Do you have tested the deadmoo image in VMware before you have begun the install? 2) If yes do you have installed it to a Disk or just to a partition? 3) What syntax do you use exactly for dd (w/wo skip 63 bytes)? 4) Do you use a SATA disk or a ATA? 5) please post your complete specs (chipset ect...)

Test evtl. the image in VMware if it works. You don't need instructions for this: just download & install the latest VMware (you'll get a 30 days key from them).Then go to file -> open and choose the deadmoo image to run it. Use the same image that you have installed, it' possible that it were a problem during download or extract.

ampsonic Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 loaded up in vmware just fine, slow, but just fine. Now i'm sad, I could see it but not really use it. Anyway, any other ideas on what to try? Maybe just retry the transfer? I could try doing it in windows, ideas on that?

Anyway, any other ideas on what to try? Maybe just retry the transfer? I could try doing it in windows, ideas on that? I don't think that a new install will be better (I think your dd method was OK, and other guys have the same chipset as you), but try it again (sometimes I have errors witch I can't explain) If it's the same: when you start with OSX with -v are you able to read when exactly it hangs (please post it here)?

ampsonic Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well, dd'd the image over again, this time in windows. This time it took much longer than it did in linux, my thought is that it didn't completly copy last time. Now I can boot, but when I get to the login screen it freezes up. The first time , it let me enter my password, then froze, now it freezes before I can enter the password. (starting with boot option -x) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4507-darwinx86-boot-problem/#findComment-29097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampsonic Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 phew. ok. Worked on it quite a bit, here's where I'm at: Got rid of the AppleTPMACPI.kext file, that seemed to help quite a bit. Whenever I try to start without -x, it still hangs right on the grey apple screen (the spinning flower icon never appears). When I do boot, I am having usb problems. In the shell, every 2 minutes or so, it will pop up a bunch of error messages about USB, and the keyboard stops working for a while. After a few minutes, the keyboard comes back, works for a bit, then the error displays again, the cycle repeats. In the GUI, the keyboard/mouse freeze every few minutes (the same problem I assume), and then come back for a few minutes. Any ideas?

If you delete the ATI kext you can evtl. boot without -x: # cd /System/Library/Extensions # sudo rm -r ATI* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4507-darwinx86-boot-problem/#findComment-29158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
