So close yet so far

[ihekmac]

I was so close, pumped up, and anxious. The installation went flawlessly, and surprising fast, but when it rebooted... I saw nothing and the display just appeared scrambled, although the mouse did work. Any idea what spec might not be compatibale? List below.

 

Experiment: Os X 10.4.6. (JaS)

My laptop (compaq) specs:

Processor: Intel Celeron M Processor 430 (SSE 2, compatiable)

Memory: 512 MB Memory (compatiable)

Video: Mobile Intel ® 945GM Express Chipset

Monitor: Standard Monitor Plug & Play << according to windows.

 

I tried to search the forum but found nothing, search didn't function. Does anybody know what the problem is and if there is a solution? Drivers?

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

IF you'll have the chance to see darwin loading...

 

press f8 and enter -v -x

 

see what it may does

 

also take a screen photo (post it here), specially during the text scrolls

 

it might mention about specific errors

Hi boinkytwo,

 

Here are the screen photos, they did not come out as great as I hoped.

I did run fb and -v, a couple of errors appeared. I will post them tomorrow because the screen shot is too blurry to read. The sound does not appear.

I think it's a video card problem, because open solaris 10 does not work on my PC as well.
