Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ouuuups...! nForce chipset and sata HDrives... Use IDE and your problem is solved. You can use your sata after the succesful installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YureZzZ Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Got same error, BUT i'm not using SATA-drives. Specs: Motherboard: MSI (nForce4 SLI) RAM: 2 x 512Mb DDR (400MHz) CPU: AMD Athlon64 3200+ (SSE3) (Venice) Hard-disk drive used: Samsung IDE 20Gb Video device: ATI Radeon X300 256MB PCIE Firstly install starts, but after reboot it doesn't work. So i decided to install again. Cleared HDD in Linux, I mean just erase all partiotions there. After that can't run installer again. If I leave it for 30 minutes - I'll have blue screen but arrow mouse cursor on it instead of round one. Dunno what to do.... Dream was so close... PS. Here is the screenhot in case...

Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 S.M.A.R.T. must be disabled from bios, HD master jumpered Drive slave. Dont chose all the pacages from intallation, use the basic parts, the rest can be installed after saccesful restart. Wait as long it is neaded at blue screen.

YureZzZ Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I've solved that problem with changing my keyboard(!). Instead of PS/2 I've connected USB. Installation finished nicely, but at the rebooting stage frozen. Ok, I've restarted it myself. But... Now is the other problem. After apple logo and spinning thing I'm getting screen that says that I must restart the system. And on and on... Any suggestions? I've run it with -v key and made a screenshot again. Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong. HDD must be connected to 0th IDE-channel on master plug and jumper must be in SLAVE position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 The screen that says to press power to restart is kernel panic cose you restarted manualy. Just press power button and restart few times, it maybe solved. If not reinstall, but wait on startup screen, dont manualy restart. HD must be Master and jumpered master. The important part was to pass crash reporter, installation now is depended of the packages that you r choosing to isntal. Chose minimal, the most nessasery.

YureZzZ Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 HDD on MASTER. USB Keyboard. And it works Thanx to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sithy Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 I've solved that problem with changing my keyboard(!). Instead of PS/2 I've connected USB. That was it, the launchd message obviously isn't relevant. I had a PS/2 typematrix keyboard, plugged it in with a USB adaptor and now the setup CD booted no problem. I've managed to partition and mount my 500Gb SEAGATE Barracuda SATA-I drive, and am now installing OS X straight onto it. I guess SATA is supported okay now (touch wood!).

Sithy Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well, the install ran fine untill near the end : it stopped with something like "install failed, some errors occured, restart to try again". Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Must be somthing about the DVD quality. Burn a fresh good one, in lowest possible speed and try again. ...SATA isnt recomented (noone like messages like this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithy Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Thanks for your quick reply. That's not the message I get. I'll try and reproduce it, but how did you manage to take a ss ? apple+shift 3 doesn't work for me. I'll try burning another CD, though I did burn it fresh just a couple days ago. Thanks again.
