mohater Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 N00b to this - TIA for any help. I've been reading the wiki for a while and decided to go with a pre-built machine for my first hackintosh. Scored a Optiplex GX270 for cheap - has P4 2.4 1024 ram (4X 256), on board video, 120gb hdd (on PATA) (1 partition - empty) dvd-rom drive Matches to two of the builds @ the wiki (link below). http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph..._Optiplex_GX270 Hoping for a single boot OSx machine. Trying to run 10.4.8, gets to the first few steps of loading Darwin and it reboots. Searched the forums and tried the below solutions: -Could not locate SMART in bios (to disable it) -Put the HDD and the DVD-Rom drive on the same IDE Chan (HDD master, DVD-Rom slave) - also tried with them on the two IDE chans -Running w/one stick of ram (256 mb) -Increased video mem allocation in bios from 1mb to 8mb No dice on anything. Name of the image file is JaS.10.4.8.Intel.SSE3.Only.Install.DVD.iso Any advice is appreciated.

mohater Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Re-read some posts from my other threads and I found uphuck_10.4.9_universal_dvd_v1.3.cdr - was able to boot and get to OSx installation. Thanks to all the people who provide support on the forums.
