Jonzo99 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hello: First off, I have: Asus A8N-E Motherboard (works with jas' release according to the wiki.) AMD Athlon64 3500+ (SSE2, SSE3) WD Raptor 74GB HDD hooked up on SATA1 Pioneer 110D DVD Drive ATI X700 PCI-Express Video My partitions (from PM 8.0): The Fat32 partition is where I want to install OS X (I will "erase" then reformat in the OS X install process. The NTFS partition is my XP install. Ok so when I boot off the DVD, it says to push ENTER to install OSX. Then all this text starts scrolling on the screen, I'm guessing it's detecting my hardware. My keyboard lights blink, etc, etc.. Then it just completely freezes. I can't push any keys, can't even push CAPS lock or NUM lock. The last few lines it spits out are: disk1s3: I/O Error hfs_mountroot failed = 5 panic(CPU 0 caller 0x002C2): nfs_boot_init failed with 6 Debugger called: <panic> Kerner version: Darwin 8.8.1 .... That's about it. It sits frozen there. I don't understand because it seems to me I meet all hardware requirements. Could be a bad ISO file that I downloaded? Any suggestions? Thanks a lot..

Jonzo99 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 I just tried: Removing power from my SATA drive and Installed a clean PATA drive, unpartitioned space, tried to install... same issue. Formatted the PATA drive as FAT32 and set as primary and active partition, tried to install... same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 as for now, stick with your PATA drive when intalling JAS x.4.8 and then delete the fat32 parition.create a new partition without formatting it.meaning, it is raw, unformatted, it is neither a ntfs nor fat32. its just a partition. now, boot from the install dvd and install osx.

Jonzo99 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Do you think my partitioning configuration is the problem? Because I can't even get into setup. Any problems I've heard of with partitions, occurs in the setup utility. I'll try it out though, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinkytwo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 based from my experiences, yeah, i think so. but i could also be wrong. and also, i think youre trying to install osx into your 2nd hdd maybe try to detach sata, and make your pata set to primary master, anyways, good luck and keep in touch what version of osx86 install dvd did you used, by the way?

Sapam Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Are u using PS/2 Keyboard or USB one. I think it support USB keyboard only. I have almost the same config (Check my Signature). I have seen the almost same issue of installation failing. You can try this out, atleast it solved my issue. Use CloneDVD to write the iso at 1X speed. # I tried writing the image at 8X using Alcohol120% and it caused the problem. I did rewrite the iso using CloneDVD at 1X and it worked for me.
