hirschkuh2000 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 just tried a install without all optional components. just install only the mainparty (only the first line, where you can choose what to install). then it should boot. got the same problem on a nearly similar system.

Wacintoshinux Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Have you tried booting from your osx86 install DVD, then starting disk utility and repairing permissions? Could freeze on boot due to a discrepancy between file creation dates and system date, which causes an error with permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirschkuh2000 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 my config with that problem was a acer aspire with ati graphs and amd cpu... post at which part the boot stops. try it with safe mode AND verbose... only config i could install the same iso as you got, was with only the main part of macos installed. no the optional drivers and so on. the install on my notebook was only for testing & trying purpose. my config now is a audio-studio-system running perfectly with the same iso you got in following config: core 2 duo - 6600 @ 2x 2.4GHz 2gb kingston ddr intel desktop board D975XBX2 alias bad axe and a nvidia 7800 silent graphics... scoring with xbench currently at 112 points.

grreeaatt Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 well, after 8 reinstalls, i got it working. all i did was wipe the hdd (using utility on iso when booted into installer) ans i stalled ONLY the main components (box at top whioch is greyed out) and the intel CPU option, NOTHING else. then it restarted and booted straight into mac os x with audio working, cd burner working, but chess/ichat does not work and wireless card/lan adapter does not funtion either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
