Installation hangs at HD setup

[manuel]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install Tubgirl's MacOS 10.4.10 SSE3 on my FJ Pa1538.

When creating a new partition in the installation's hard disk setup tool the PC just hangs up while creating the new partition and the HD led is on.

I waited about 1h but nothing happended.

After creating a HFS parition with linux the installation alreading hangs while booting (even with -x flag).

 

here are my specs:

Does anybody have any hints for me?

 

Thanks

[MoDs]

after creating the HFS+ parition with linux, did you change the partition ID to 'AF'?

 

if not then you should logon to your windows and use Beeblebrox (http://students.cs.byu.edu/~codyb/) to change the partition ID from whatever it's on to 'AF'

[manuel]

yes, I changed it to 0xaf.

Even formating the partition from installation's command line doesn't work - hangs up too.

 

Thanks for your help

Do you have any other ideas?

[MoDs]

Is your HD IDE or SATA? If it's SATA then make sure to change the SATA mode in your BIOS (from legacy?) to AHCI.

 

Also make sure that the HD and DVD are on the same controller; HD master and DVD slave.

 

Maybe you should disable S.M.A.R.T too, if applicable.

[manuel]

I'm using a laptop so I cannot change the cable settings.

And Fujitsu-Siemens thinks that users shouldn't be able to change SATA mode or SMART settings in bios. these f :censored2: king idiots

[MoDs]

lol. sorry, i ran outta ideas.

 

the funny thing is that i have the same kind of laptop and it's working perfectly!

[manuel]

this is strange. Is it exaclty the same? FS Pa 1538?

 

Which bios version do you have?

And from which dvd image did you install?

[MoDs]

no no, not exactly the same. it's fujitsu siemens amilo.

 

i used JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.

[manuel]

Ok, I'll give this one a try.

Do you also have a Nvidia MCP51?

[MoDs]

no, it's ATI

 

tell me if JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 worked for you

[manuel]

JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 has no Nvidia MCP driver, damn

[MoDs]

actually you can use your nvidia with it. check out http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/iNVidia.html

 

This driver worked for my GeForce FX 5200 (AGP 8x) on my desktop PC.

 

But anyway, did JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 work for you?

[manuel]

No, without the driver I cannot access my harddisk.

Is there a way to use the driver while installation?

[MoDs]

During installation do NOT install any drivers. That will make you access your desktop. Then you should use the nvidia installer i told you about earlier.

 

But if you've installed it, then you can remove the driver from the single user prompt. Follow these steps:

 

1. Boot in single user mode:

- Press F8 while booting, then enter the command "-s"

 

2. Mount your hard drive:

- type: /sbin/mount -uw /

 

3. Browse to target dir:

- type: cd /System/Library/Extensions

 

4. Delete old driver files:

- type the following:

sudo rm -R NVDA*

sudo rm -R ATI*

sudo rm -R GeForce*

 

5. Reboot:

- type: reboot

 

After that, you will be able to log on to your desktop without any GFX driver. At that point, try diabolik's installer.

 

Tell me if it worked!

[manuel]

Thanks for your hints but I cannot use them because I can not install at all.

Installation with JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 not possible: hard drive not detected

Installation with Tubgirl's MacOS 10.4.10 SSE3 not possible: any hard drive access while installation crashes kernel

[MoDs]

ummm... I saw a modified version of JaS's that was called "JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2". That is the ppf1 and 2.

 

I don't konw exactly what are the ppf1&2, but i suggest you search for them in this forum. Maybe this image (with these patches) are what you've been looking for.

[manuel]

ahh, concerning to this post: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...7393&st=160 it seems to be possible to install with this image.

I'm just downloading...

 

Thanks!

[MoDs]

great. good luck!
