Xeijin Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 At the Darwin screen press any key to bring up the prompt then type '-v' and press enter. Sit there and watch for where it hangs, write up a few of the lines before it hangs here, as well as the line it hangs on and someone may be able to help you.

Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Use an IDE hd master and a Drive slave to pass that stage. Disable SMART from Bios. Chose minimal packages to install.

Prowler Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 What do you mean by "Use an IDE hd master and a Drive slave to pass that stage"? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50355-osx-boot-problem/#findComment-360416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 He means to use an IDE-based HDD (rather than a SATA or ATA one), and set it to master. However, I have no idea what he means by a drive slave, since if you only have one HDD you cannot have it set as slave.

Guest Ramm Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Yeah, SATA is not good. In any way. Use IDE. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50355-osx-boot-problem/#findComment-360433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Use an IDE HDD and set it to master. Use an IDE(CD/DVD)Drive and set it to slave. Disable S.M.A.R.T. from Bios. Thats few simple steps that quaranties no worries, the most of the times, on starting installation. (SATA doesent mean that you are not able to install, but better dont try that for first time) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/50355-osx-boot-problem/#findComment-360443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
