Paulo Greimel Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hello. Well, really need help. Just bought my notebook a few days ago and put my dvd of Mac OS X86 10.4.6 JaS and I just see the apple grey screen for less than a second and then it reboots. I tried almost everything (-v, -f, -x, -s ...). Tried to change settings in the BIOS, nothing. Tried to install using VMWare in a real partition, installed normally, but it don't boot. Any ideas? About VMWare, when i boot the installation dvd using "guest system" FreeBSD it says: "*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) *** The virtual machine just suffered a stack fault in kernel mode. On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software. Press OK to reboot virtual machine or Cancel to shut it down." I changed the guest system to Windows NT and booted, installed, but don't boot out of VMWare. Can someone help. Just discovered that my wireless card has support for Mac OS X86 (Realtek RTL 8187 Whoa). Thank you folks.

HeroDreamerCS Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Paulo, your English is fine (and actually really good.) Make sure you installed the SSE2 patch and NOT the SSE3. That might be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Did you try any other relese exept 10.4.6 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Greimel Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 HeroDreamerCS, the problem is on the boot time of the installation dvd. Thanks Paulo Greimel Oracle67, in fact, no, but I will get 10.4.8 next week, and I will try. Another solution? (without getting a new cd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroDreamerCS Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 It sounds like its the actually disc itself (either the image you burned it form or the dvd media itself.) I've had this problem myself a couple of times. You can try burning it to a different brand/type of dvd-r. I think going ahead and getting 10.4.8 would be your best bet though.

Paulo Greimel Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I have already tried that, but since the dvd boots in vmware, i thinks the media is fine. Thanks for the suggestion, i'll try 10.4.8, any other ideas or even coments are welcome. Paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanillaface Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I had a similar problem. Try running your DVD in VMWare, press F8 at Darwin, type "mach_kernel rd=disk0s1 -v" (change disk0s1 to whatever disk/partition you installed OSX onto). Post what it says.

Paulo Greimel Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 My brand new Mac OS X 10.4.9 is supposed to arrive next week, what do you think? The version: Mac OS X 10.4.9 Intel SSE3 [JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2.iso + JaS.10.4.9.Combo.Update.Intel.SSE3.zip], the kernel I think it's the 8.9.1, the most recent. Do you think that worth? Thanks Paulo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
