Press F8 when the bootloader shows, type in -v (this is the verbose booting mode showing a bootlog on screen) and see what is printed on the screen and at which line the computer reboots. This might give an inclination on what goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kons Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 First of all it's better for you to install 10.4.8 OSX version (JaS) or 10.4.9 one (Uphuck v1.3) Then be sure to install only ONE kernel in the ad Hoc installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger2g Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 That sounds like you have a SSE3 only installer and your working with an SSE2 cpu. What installer version is it? What are your hardware spec's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGreen07 Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 THANK YOU ALL for your help so far, im trying to listen to all your advices and see what went wrong, maybe someone's 100'% sure in the end and i can skip the thinking on my side my computer specs: MAINBOARD P4M9007MB-8RS2H µATX|VGA onBoard ... INTEL Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,40GHz box Sockel 775|4x 2,40GHz RAM 1x 2048MB DDR2-667 Aeneon my installer version: mac osx x86 10.4.6 i also checked my comp specs with cpu-z. it says: Instructions : MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, EM64T i have bought this computer last week, so i see no reason besides maybe the onboard graphic card why it shouldnt work, but maybe it's something else. :-S thanks again =) PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinger2g Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yeah, I had that same problem when I was trying to install the first release of 10.4.8. My issue was the installer would crash as soon as the kernel would load. It is possible the 10.4.6 installer that you are trying to use doesn't support Core 2 Duo. It's very likely! You should prolly just install 10.4.8 or one of UpHuck's 10.4.9 install's. Goodluck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
