topherNOOB Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have the iso of Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2] does anyone know what I should do? I'm running vista, and want have two hardrives. I put in the disk at boot and the only message that comes up is something like... Memory Allocation Error (0xDEADBEEF, 0x0) Thanks Geniuses.

sigxcpu Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 0xdeadbeef sounds like a joke pointer. is one of the examples given for 32-bit hex-numbers.

Superhai Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 It is a value used by OS X by the memory allocation routines, useful when debugging.

topherNOOB Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 If it is a joke, does that mean that I have a bad copy of Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2] Or is does vista/osx have some safeguard against this? Superhai: thanks for the info. Is there a way around it. This is the only statement that spits out when I boot up the disc. How do I get to the installer?
