kinglevel Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi.. I know this is a regular question, But i think i need to ask it anyways becuse of bad FAQs. I cant install the OS. The computer stops when the white screen with the loading sign apears. And after a while a grey sign apears. I think i have a old OSX X86 image? Could it work with the new "weasly's" patch? My hardware: CPU Name: Intel Pentium 4 630 Code name: Prescott Instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and EM64T Motherboard Manufacturer: MSI Model: P4n Diamond (MS-7160) Chipset: NVIDIA nForce4 Intel Editon /King Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58177-regular-question-harware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I think i have a old OSX X86 image? We really need to know what you have to say for sure. Your best bet is to grab the latest Uphuck DVD if that isn't what you have. Either way, pressing F8 on startup to get the boot screen and using the -v option to see verbose message would help.

Headrush69 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Looks like a SATA controller problem for your nforce4 chipset. Search on Still waiting for root device, there are several lengthy threads devoted solely to that problem.

I unplugged my SATA disc and disabled sata and other things that had relations to the nforce chipset. And then i plugged in my old IDE disc. Same problem? EDIT: Creating a new topic about Nforce 4 chipset.
