oki123 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I recnetly installed OS X on my dell desktop, It installed fine, but when i try to boot without the CD, The normal screen comes up with the apple and spinning thing but after a while, a "no" sign like this: (/) goes over the top of the apple. It stays on this screen and wont do anything. Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47407-cant-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXcalibUr88 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 the (/) sign means that there is something that you install that should not be installed. like a wrong patch or update. i have the same problem before. i reinstalled everything and made sure that i customize the things i install. there is an option to do that. i was able to pass that screen and get to starting OS X but get stalled after.. but i am still hopeful. good luck!

success2be Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 When customizing, install either the Intel or AMD kernel; NOT both. Same goes for other optional patches like video drivers.

eXcalibUr88 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 it is customize in the install process. it is a button located on the bottom left of the installation part of mac.. make sure that you click on the little triangle beside the amd and intel patches. choose the best config from the list. i got this resolved already and im using my hackintosh while posting this..
