gai-jin Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am trying to install from this version on my Gateway MX7118 laptop computer. The install went smoothly, up until the end when it tried to reboot. On boot, it loads to the grey Apple screen, and freezes up. I booted using the -v command, and find the last line of text when it stops is: localhost /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app/contents/macos/loginwindow: Login window application started At a glance, that doesn't seem to give any indication of a problem. Any idea what the issue could be? Gateway MX7118 Laptop ATI 200m chipset/video AC97 / Conextant audio AMD Athlon 64 3400+ CPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai-jin Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Okay, I found a post where someone else was having a similar issue, and followed the instructions here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=79143 now the boot process gets exactly one line further, stopping at: localhost configd[55]: No AirPort Driver found.

SamuthNBS Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi, I was going to make my own topic but this one seems appropriate as it has the exact title I was going to use. I'm trying to install 10.4.8, using the same iso. My cpu is SSE2 and SSE3 capable. I've got it to boot from the dvd but once it opens darwin it fills the screen and then says something about a kernel panic and just hangs for hours. The first time it got a lot further and said nothing about panic, then I reset it. Is there any way to delete the temporary files created, if any, in order to revert to the first attempt? I don't really have anything funny plugged in, just a cheap sound card and the USB HDD I'm going to install to. Cheers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gai-jin Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Here's a (blurry) screenshot of where my laptop freezes up on first boot after install. Oh, I reinstalled today without the 'titan' drivers, but I'm still stuck at the same place. Obviously, I need a steadier hand with the camera. I'll try and get a better shot later to post, but hopefully there's enough here to get a suggestion or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeterminedNoob Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I seem to be falling somewhere between the problems people have been posting. Everything seems to install fine but whenever I boot into the OSX drive (IDE) it says I need to restart the computer. I'm assuming that something hasn't finished installing. OSX is unable to do a soft reboot and I wonder if this is part of the problem. (When the installer attempted to restart the last line was MACH REBOOT or something to that effect. Again, I assume this is a command my hardware isn't recognizing and wonder if it is the root of the problem with finishing the installation.) I'm on an AMD64 box. Is there some sort of batch or ini file I should edit? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've searched around but haven't found someone complaining of the same problem.

satch_yt Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hi everyone, I have a problem with 10.4.8 install and I haven't seen any topics about the same problem. Ok, the problem is, after customizing the installation and clickling install, the installer seems to be frozen, but the DVD and HD lights keep blinking, computer seems to be doing something, but nothing happens in the installer screen and the progress bar. (if you look at the screenshots at http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=11528, picture number 12 is where I'm stuck at) I left the computer and waited for the installer to finish, after about 12 hours I saw that only %7 of the installation was complete, it's obvious that somethings wrong, it proceeds too slowly but I dont know why, I tried different distros, same problem with all. here's the specs of the computer I'm trying to install. AMD sempron 3000+ 1GB Ram 80GB Maxtor IDE HD (this is the one i'm trying to install) -- this is set to MASTER 80GB WD Sata HD (I disabled this one from the BIOS) Samsung DVD drive -- set to SLAVE 300GB philips usb HD (this one is disabled too) ATI radeon x300 p.s. I tried different master - slave combinations, nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nishant M Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Have been trying to install "Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso" . But get following error. AppleIntelPIIXPATA: Secondary PCI IDE channel is disabled and then is says waiting for boot device then it will say something about not being able to mount my hard drive. After a while the setup screen comes up and I got to disk utilities and try to mount my harddrive manually but I get an error saying that it can't be mounted and there is no options I can do to my harddrive, can't try the first aid thing or anything. I have tried all of these versions with failure. Attached the details of my system. Please help. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddye-bra Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hey all. Im using the same distro (10.4.8), but my "installation" stops at step 4, i.e.: the gray apple never stops spinning, and after 2 mins it shows a prohibition little icon in front of the apple. So i cant even get to the install screen. Does anybody know what that means?? Im using a PentiumD processor, with SS2, SS3 and all that instructions, and IDE HD ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thug1973 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm glad I'm not the only one who is having an issue with the install. My AMD Athlon 64 /Asus a8s-x stops in the same spot. I have tried both IDE as well as SATA drives to do the install. I'm wondering if the DVD rom drive has to be IDE as well as the hard drive. In addition, does the DVD have to be set as master and the IDE drive to be set as a slave to that drive. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
