Loading Darwin x86...

[LordC]

I have a compatible processor, and I'm using JaS osx86 10.4.8

 

The problem I am getting is that when I start the PC the with osx86 dvd in the drive, it brings up a standard black screen saying "Press a key to install... or press F8... etc."

 

When I press a key I get the message "Loading Darwin\x86..."

Then as the PC is about to say something else (Starting or something) it reboots.

 

My Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3700+

1GB RAM

 

 

Regarding the Hard Drive. I deleted the partitions on my 2nd hard drive (in windows disk manager),

Then did the below;

 

list disk

select disk [the number of your disk]

create partition primary id=af

list partition

select partition [the number of your new osx partition]

active (if this doesn’t work, try ’set active’ without quotes)

 

I tried pressing F8 and starting the installer with these commands;

platform=X86PC -v

-x

-f

-s

 

I've searched all over the web, including this site.

I found a couple of people with the same problem, but I didn't manage to find any answers.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks =]

It seems U installed Mac OSX without choose Custom options.

Reinstall and don't forget it!

Sorry I mustnt have made it clear.

 

This is before I install OS X. It's not installed yet, as when I insert the DVD the PC reboots after "Loading Darwin\x86".
