Peon_Tree Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi all, thx for helping a newbie... Anyways, I just installed uphuck_10.4.9_universal_dvd_v1.3 on VMWare (with a 6gb file/hd thing) I tried reinstalling using the universal and the latest intel kernel. (e6400) I also swapped between titan and natit for my 7600gt... And I activated the partition, but it still just gives me a black screen with a _ at the top left whenever I boot from the HD... Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peon_Tree Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 I can't boot it with -v... The second the bios closes I get an evil black screen.... If I boot from the dvd and use startup options to boot in -v then I go to the installation.... ??? ***I just realized... Am I supposed to see more then one startup volume???

boinkytwo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 well, if you're using vmware, you will only see one partition, since you setup a virtual hdd. the exception is, when that virtual hdd is partitioned more than twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peon_Tree Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yes, but when I boot with f8, from the cd, and it tells me to select a partition to boot, I only see one, and it is clearly the dvd. Thx for the help, please keep it coming.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 double check on your virtual machine's bios settings. check your hdd settings. and also try insalling osx on a physical partition instead of a virtual hdd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peon_Tree Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 Okay, now I 'acquired' a premade version, and it is willing to load from the HD, however, the second it gets to the grey apple loading screen it resets...?????? Do I need to start it in -v? How? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplizid Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 i get the blank screen with the _ as posted above with the 1.4 r3 release, i am installing natively so its not vmware issue, im not able to put it in single user or verbose mode. i flaged my drive yesterday before install and finished and i got an immediate kernel panic on reboot. im lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
