AOI Photo Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I"m getting increasingly frustrated at my inability to installl osx. It makes me realize how long it has been since I installed tricky programs, and used the ocmmand line regularly... my how things do change. The Hardware I am using is... AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4400+ on a K8m890m-m Motherboard 1 gig ram I am having no luck with either of the ISO's I have tried. I have tried two ISO's. The Iso's are titled OSX_1048_AMD Mac-OS-X-10.4.7-AMD.Intel-(JaS)-ISO-Repack on 10.4.7 I get a grey screen telling me to turn poer off and on. No matter how many times I reboot I get this message. Disabling onboard USB doesn't change anything. (that was already suggested to me) on 10.4.8 I don't get that far. I can't even get to the grey screen . The last thing I get is AppleVIAATADriver : Via 8237 (cmd ox870, ctr ox374, IRQ15, 8M 0xfc08) followed by a still waiting message Any ideas? Right now I don't need Wireless or dual boot or anything, just to get it basically working. Any help is much appreciated. I am trying to install OsX only. I have four other Vista machines and don't need dual boot capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Try latest relese to ingrase possibility to be installed. Use F8 to start and then type: -v This sows a picture of what going on on installation progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to install on an ECS K8m890m-m (VIA K8m890-ce Chipset) AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane 1 gig ram. I went into my Bios and turned off almost everything the options in setup (after I have changed them) read as follows Onboard Floppy Control: Disabled Serial port 1 address: Disabled Onboard IR Port: Disabled Parallel Port Address: Disabled Onboard PCI IDE Controller: Both Onboad SATA-IDE : Disabled Audio Device: Disabled Modem Device; Disabled Ethernet Device: Disabled Onboard Lan Boot room : Disabled Onboard USB Function: Disabled USB function for Dos: Disabled Anyone have any idea what I can do to get this installed.
