cavemonkey50 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) I have a Celeron D 325 (SSE3, no NX) hooked into a GIGABYTE GA-8I865GVME (Intel 865G chipset, identical chipsets to dev kit) for my latest OSx86 install. Although the motherboard is as close as you can get to dev specs, I'm still running into a little problem. I'm using build 8f1111 with the Maxxuss patches on the DVD. When I start the install everything works just fine; the files copy over successfully, etc. When everything is done is says the installation is complete and nothing has gone wrong. Then it asks me to reboot. I hit the reboot button (or wait for it to time out) and then the installation stalls. I see the round circle spinning letting me know that the Mac is thinking, but nothing is happening. Neither the hard drive or the DVD drive is doing any work, everything has stopped. I let the install just sit in this state for about a half hour and then I finally get impatient and reboot the computer manually. Then the second part of the install starts. I get up to the point where you get to the MacOS box with the loading bar and it just sits there. I can't proceed any further even after multiple reboots. So my question is how can I prevent this freezing? I have done verbose mode and see some errors related to the hard drive and it's volume name, but other then that nothing looks out of the ordinary. Do you think some weird setting is enabled in the BIOS that I could turn off? I'd really like to get this system installed so any help will greatly be appreciated.

cavemonkey50 Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Anyone have any ideas? I'm running out of my own. I have even tried an older build with no luck. I'm thinking of trying the original deadmoo image and seeing if that works.

Technobob Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Noticed you did not say if you tried using -x have you tried it ? For me I have to do use -x in the last part of the install after the first reboot.

cavemonkey50 Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Alright, I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6135-no-reboot-after-install/#findComment-38596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavemonkey50 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Alright I've got the error down that is happening when I do verbose. The messages scroll like normal until i get to this error: display: family specific matching fails. I'll get that about 3 or 4 times in the output. After the first one appears the loading screeches to a halt. So my guess is something is screwed up with the graphics drivers it's loading. Any ideas on how to resolve that?

cavemonkey50 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 I guess I should update this thread. Instead of doing my own patches I used Wesley's original 8f1111 disk (not the 8f1111a one). The JaS patches never worked for some reason. I don't know what's so special about the Wesley disk compared to the JaS but whatever it is, it works. I've been running OSx86 now for a week and I'm highly impressed with the speed. I had previously run it on a SSE2 machine, and I find now that SSE3 makes all the difference. I hope to upgrade my motherboard later down the road to a mobo that has at least and AGP slot (right now I only have Integrated Intel Extreme 2 graphics) so I can take advantage of QE/CI, but I'm going to hold off on that until we know more about what direction Apple is taking with OSx86. Well, thanks for all the suggestions. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/6135-no-reboot-after-install/#findComment-39918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoavio Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I too am having the reboot problem after installation and have not yet booted into OSx86. I used the 8f1111a_JaS_Patch_4.2b disk.
