Lactobacillus P Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Partition has to be active and primary. Make sure you have set it up like that before installing OSX.

Zo-Lee Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I have the same problem. It stops at the Loginwindow.app.... Tried with Jas 10.4.8 with ppf1 and defiant patch. IC7, P4 2.4HT, GF4 Ti4200, the usual config... Any solution? Edit> I tried it with the myzar 10.4.8 version. The same f***ing loginwindow stop thing. Its a big {censored}. Too many hardwares, too many possibilities. There are more sucks than success... :-/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46947-boot-up-hangs-with-apple-grey-screen-help-me-out/#findComment-336874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA22C Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Did you select the 10.4.4 login window? I have to install that to get my OSX installation to boot. It's an option on the JAS DVD's.

Zo-Lee Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yes, I tried it of course. I have tried a lot of combination of installations, tried to remove hardwares from the machine, but nothing changed... :) I'm totally puzzled...

DavidLeite Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi! I installed MAC OS using vmware, and everything went smooth! But when I reboot my pc and Darwin loads Mac os, it goes to a gray screen with a loading spinning circle until it fails (showing a slashed circle, gray also)... so I checked the crash report and it reported 2 errors: "private/var/tmp : Optimization changed from TIME to SPACE No AirPort driver found" Should that really stop my system from booting ? Please help me out =/ thanks a lot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46947-boot-up-hangs-with-apple-grey-screen-help-me-out/#findComment-475534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
