OSx86 Dreamer Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 i tryed that -v and -x neither worked, and CPU: Intel Celeron D 2.80GHz 1 DVD-R/RW/ROM 1 Hard Disk (80GB) all for macintosh OS: Macintosh OS X 10.4.8 (JaS version for SSE2,3) USB Mouse Serial Port Keyboard 1 GB Ram Intel 10/100 VE Netwwork Connection ORIGINALLY HAD: 256MB RAM Windows XP/Ubuntu 4/KDE (Knoppix)/Windows 2000 Seriously, im desperate it wont boot, it just sits at gray logo and after loading it hangs and plays music. I guess for setting up your new mac, because it happens after i reboot from OS X Setup, It hangs on first reboot..

Guest Ramm Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 But, when you type in -v does it say anything odd? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/49975-stuck-at-apple-logo/#findComment-357209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 you do realize that you need to hit f8 after the emachines bios screen as soon as the disc loads and you get the osx boot...this happens always before the grey screen with the apple....you aren't doing it right, try again by hitting f8, then at the prompt type '-v' to enter verbose mode so that someone can help you trouble shoot. You may also consider reading the wiki because it has alot of your answers. Also if you want people to help you you need to find the detailed specs of your system including your CPU, info about your mobo including chipset, how about your Harddrive (IDE or SATA)???

macbrush Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 How long did you wait for the DVD to boot? It takes at least 10 mins to boot on all of my boxes, but it will eventually boot.
