.sonix Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi I'm encountering problems when I'm triing to install the Mac OS 10.4.8 JAS release on my Notebook. After a few minutes after booting with the DVD, before any installation dialog shows up, the system halts. Booting with -v gets the following error messsage: > .. launchend: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[85]: exited abnormally: floating point exception > .. launchend: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/configd"[31]: exited abnormally: floating point exception > .. launchend: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/notifyd"[36]: exited abnormally: floating point exception > .. launchend: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally. going to single user mode I tried different releases (JAS, myz, 10.4.6. 10.4.8) but its always the same. My Notebook is an AMD 3000+ with 512 mb Memory, Ati Radeon mobility 9600 (64mb) and 40gb HDD. (currenty winXP installed) Does anyone know a solution for this? thanks for any ideas!

I attached the CPU-Z report. Hope it will help. additional hardware is: - 512 mb RAM - Ati radeon 9600 mobility 64mb Ram - 40 GB Seagate ST94011A HDD - Toshiba CD/DVDW SD-R6472 - noname Sound (AC97) - noname Ethernet (Via-compatible fast ethernet) thx cpuz.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 It is a good notebook with the ability to run osx86. Lets start from the early begining: Disable S.M.A.R.T. from Bios Set boot order from bios. Boot and hit any key (dont use -V) and wait -sometimes to 10 min- to go itself to crash reporter part. Post results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.sonix Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 my notebook bios-settings are very limited, i can't disable SMART. But I think it isnt enabled ... boot order 1) cdrom 2) HDD 3) Floppy (which I dont have) I took 3 photos of my results... 1.jpg: after booting from DVD (without -v !) --> 4th line from bottom "unable to mount /dev/disk0s1 .." (?!?!?) 2.jpg: short time after, the gui starts to load, I see a cursor 3.jpg: gui unloads and a errormessage (first post) appears on the screen ... nothing happens then. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denicio Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hey I'm getting the exact same error on my other PC, which is an AMD Athlon 64 / 3500+, 512MB RAM, ATi X800 GTO PICe. Please people if anyone care to give a solution for this, it would be awesome. Version 10.4.1 (Developer) runs great on this system, but any version after that has this problem that .sonix described. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 ...without hard drive it is unable to install. Thats the problem.
