SwatSniper Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 This is my crapy story, and hopefully someone can turn it into a happy ending. Well, i tried JaS for monthes at a time(10.4.8), and i always got a I/O error. So i found this great site to help me with getting mac to run next to my vista. I got the OSx86 and got the .img(my bro owns a mac), and wrote it to my hard drive(Arconis is my boot loader). Then it found mac so i tried to run it, then it started booting, so i started to jumping out of my chair. Then the problem started, it had a little sign above the apple logo. It looked like the no smoking sign, but no cigarette in the middle and no color. So anybody who knows what this means please help me out. =[ =[ =[ =[ My pc is a Gatway with AMD athlon 64 3500+ 1 Gb ram and a nvidea 7600 512 mb Please help me!

-aKy- Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I think we need some more Info on this. What board do you use? Chipset? (Nforce4, VIA, etc.?) Are you using SATA or PATA hard drives? As you have an Athlon64 3500 i guess its an SSE3 cpu. Correct me if im wrong because this is a necessary info too. Did you customize your installation? which options did you use? And at least, try to boot in verbose mode (-v) where you can set boot parameters before booting into osx and post where it hangs. Also try to browse the forum, the search function is your friend. Lots of different problems were already discussed and many solutions are presented. P.S. full support for your graphic card will be problematic i think because it has 512mb of ram. less would be better. Cheers, aKy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwatSniper Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 well it is a SSe3, a Nforce chip set, and a PATA(not sure if that is right but it uses a IDE cable not a SATA cable), but i did not use JaS i used a VMware installed .img them just copied it using dd. i did just -v and it said something about a IOUSB and just stoped there.

KiraYamato57 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Hey, Try making the .img file in to an .iso. then install the mac to the harddrive via just loading off the cd. Like JaS said running it off of vmware it installed the vmware ktexts and such. hope this helps, kira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguino_loco Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 ok... you can't transfer an image of a working mac over to a piece of non-Apple hardware... Apple embeds a TPM into each of it's computers... OS X interfaces with this to confirm that it is installed on a genuine Apple product (Steve wants youre money)... the DVDs that you used are illegally modified to bypass the TPM check so that you can use it on your regular computer... if you would like assistance setting up your mac with the downloaded DVD, i'll be glad to render my assistance *for development only ofcourse ;-). you must install OS X with a 'patched' DVD (basically anyone besides the Apple one). NOTE: when you install, only install the kexts you need and no others, your processor sounds fine, but your interfaces sound shaky... try reinstalling off of JaS 10.4.8 using only the kexts necessary to run your CPU... this may result in a slightly slower system, but at least it'll run... PM me if u need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
