tictactical Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi, I'm a satisfied Linux user but desperate to give OS X a fair trial. After some difficulty I installed Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2] on my pc with an AMD 64 2800+ (sse2, no sse3). I was able to get it chainloaded from grub on another hard drive with chain0. Great, it finally boots! But at best it gets as far as a friendly welcome video. The video plays, then just as it says something like "Mac OS 10.4 Tiger X Getting Started" the screen turns blue, then grey, and the video starts over again. Frustrating. I'm really not sure where to begin. Video problem? Kernel issue? All suggestions welcome. EDIT: Ah, I booted with -v -x (verbose safe mode, right?) and got a brand new message to work from. It doesn't play the video, it just goes between a blue screen and a console with the message: /System/Library/CoreServices/Loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47751-stuck-at-welcome-video-keeps-repeating/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedna Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm no guru, but did you tick the checkbox next to "10.4.4 Loginwindow" during installation?

tictactical Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Ah, it worked! I hadn't selected that because it said Intel in it but I reinstalled choosing that and I am replying from within OS X. Great! Thanks for pointing that out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/47751-stuck-at-welcome-video-keeps-repeating/#findComment-342145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
