JesterDev Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I've been trying for a few days now, with different versions and last night I finally got to the point where the OS loads partially. I see the grey screen with the apple, and the little spinning thing below it. It spins for about 30 seconds then just stops. I waited about 30 minutes before reinstalling it again. Now however I get install errors, and whatnot, but I'm not so concerned with those. Specs: ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 Pentium 2.8ghz with SSE2 40gig HD DVD/CD-RW 512 Megs DDR It's a zv5120 HP Pavilion notebook. No Dual boot. Anyone have some suggestions, idea's, anything? Going to try 10.4.7 next, was using 10.4.8 but I read that someone with almost exact matching specs to mine got it working with 10.4.7.

Mx34u Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Boot in verbose mode to see what the error is before you try more disks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/54564-install-issues-os-almost-loads/#findComment-390217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterDev Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Boot in verbose mode to see what the error is before you try more disks I was trying to figure out how to do that, figured it was simular to Linux. How exactly is it done? I was thinking it was my video card, but I'm kind of doubting that now. Any suggestions on what drivers etc I should be picking?

JesterDev Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Alright well I tried reinstalling again tonight, and the same thing happened. However I booted with -v this time. I believe it's my video card, as I can press buttuns, click etc and I see HD activity when I do so. So perhaps it's loaded, but i just don't see it? Anyway here is a picture of the error(S): What is not shown on the second to the last line is: Contents/macos/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started Sorry I couldn't get it all in without it being blurry. Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/54564-install-issues-os-almost-loads/#findComment-391014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterDev Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Anyone tell me where I can get the Omni Castillo driver version 003? After much research (and if it's my ATI card that's causing the problem) I believe this might work. Seems to be broken after version 006.

JesterDev Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 Found the drivers, but still not sure if that's the problem, or even how to apply them.
