SeanieB Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I have reburned the disk, thefirst time at top speed, last at lowest, both verified correctly, when I try to boot, it works, until I reach there it says it;s booting Darwin/x86, and it reboots the machine. something with the DVD, or to check out in the BIOS? I run a Conroe Intel Core 2 Duo. Any more info you need, ask (also this is a handbuilt machine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanieB Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Okay, I tried another approach. I triedto install frm VMware, then reboot into it after install VMware Server just hangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmazzoni Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Ok, that happened also to me. I solved it by doing the following: 1) getting Jas again from the torrent (10.4.8) 2) burning it at 4x 3) disabling smart from bios 4) setting the dedicated HD as master and the DVD as slave I don't know which of the four steps was the real solution, but now it starts - at least that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle67 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The steps that tmazzoni says is important. If you cannot do it your self find some friend that knows how to do it, otherwise you will stuck on error again. Disable S.M.A.R.T from Bios, set boot order, set your HDD master and your DVD drive slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanieB Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Would SMART settings be under another name in the BIOS? do I have to set my jumpers, or just in the BIOS? How did you get that cool avatar, Oracle67? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanieB Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ok, I tried simply disabling smart on all my drives no dice. I opened the case, set the jumbers, tried differnt configurations you see: I have an 80 GB HD (IBM, Widnwos on it, set as slave then) another 80 GB, Segate, my better drive, for OS X A Pioneer DVD burner, latest firmware, (DVR-104) Master then a HL-DT CD-RW burner, slave then Tried unplugging the Windows drive, and the CD-RW, no work. Also tried to boot from the CD-RW drive, same when set to master as slave, slow bootstrap, then an endlessly repeating EBIOS error, which say something about bad sectors. I'm thinking bad image? anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Lets take it from the begining: SMART is disabled. Boot order is setted. HDD is master by jumper. DVD drive is slave by jumper. Confirm that and boot. Press F8 on startup. Type -v and hit enter. Give us an idea of the error report. About avatar is based on Photoshop CS3, tell me what you want and is done.

SeanieB Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 loads Extensions.kext/??? and extensions.kext/??? then just reboots, no error, I don't even hit Darwin. still in boot loader. I'd recognize how the text changes, i've tried all those diagnostic modes, -v -x -f etc. Could you make one in dark blue, with Sb and a subscript of 64?, thanks. The new DVD image i've been downloading since yesterday morning, will be done when I get home today. I'll burn it, and try it. I think it's a bad image, because one drive gives a bunch of {censored} about bad sectors. Does it scan the drive in the bootloader? or is it talking about the disc?
