jruud Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hello world. I've got a serious problem now. For about a week ago, I successfully installed OSX 10.4.8 on my ThinkPad T60. Almost everything worked fine, until the day I installed iLife. When the installation was finished, I let OSX find updates for programs (and, unfortunatly also the system). I downloaded the updates, and started to install them. The setup keept going until i saw it was installing upgrades for OSX too. I momentanly shut down the computer, but didn't become surprised when i saw an error message looking like this when I started it: I belive it's a error.. Anyway, I tried to install OSX, but I got the same error-message in the startup. Then I installed Ubuntu, and then tried to reinstall OSX (I thought it would help ). But it didn't. Should i try to use another version of OSX? Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56656-fixed-problems-with-reinstalling-osx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfsasx Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 that error is like the BSOD on a mac the gray screen of death. After a complete reformat of the drive you are still unable to boot from the install disc? or you've completly reinstalled and get the error over again?

jruud Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah, after a complete reformat and reinstalling, I still get this error... Thanks for replying EDIT: Misunderstanding.

Matthew L. Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 This error seems it's about you don't have the correct drivers for a Hackintosh. Try to erase the system drive with Disk Utility and then install it again, and make sure you've choose the correct drivers in custom install (if available, and make sure you don't have important data on your system drive).

jruud Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Strange, I used the same DVD when I installed OSX for a week ago, and then everything worked perfectly exept the sound and the wireless network-card. I don't understand why there should be a error with the drivers. I assume "erase" means format?

Matthew L. Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yes, BTW erase=format. And about the error with the drivers... Did you notice the line at the top of your screen?

jruud Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah, but what does it mean? ACPI? Is it some sort of configuration-standard? Didn't quite understand the Wikipedia article. Do someone have any solution? What should I do with the driver problem? EDIT. Sorry folks, instead of formatting the whole HDD, I just formatted the volume OSX was installed on. It seems as everything works fine now. Thanks for replys!

Matthew L. Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Nevermind... A reinstall SHOULD solve your problem, because as you said, the DVD is the same...I had some problems so much times, and a complete format then reinstall always solved my problems...
