Cam_86 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I have downloaded 2 versions of OSX86(Jas 10.4.8 and uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4) and neither have worked on my machine. With the jas one, i can do the install, but upon booting up, the things does not load. OSX launches, but just sits there frozen, with the spinning 'loading' cursor. When i tried uphuck, i couldn't even get the install disc to boot. It would load the gray splash screen with the apple logo and the spinning loading circle, but then go to a blue/grey screen blank screen until i shutdown. Does anyone have any advice/recommendations? Pref. someone who has a M70, or similair? The specs are as follows: Pentium M Dothan 1.73ghz(SSE2) 1.5 gigs of memory(1gig stick of kingston value, 512meg stick of hyundai that came with the laptop) 80 gig SATA 5400rpm toshiba drive GMA900 Matsu{censored}a DVD DL burner The laptop is Centrino certified. After downloading around 6 gigs of data, and getting nothing but headaches i'm about to give up. I am pretty sure this is more hardware incompatibility then my own ignorance. Not that i'm some all-knowing hacker, but i have been able to get ubuntu and vista to run on this machine more or less flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam_86 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 No takers? I guess i'll just wait for tiger to come out, and try then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hurt Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 OMG, you sound so depressed!! Don't give up. Install OS X and when booting for the first time press F8, type -v , then press enter. This will enter verbose mode to see how the startup process goes and what the problem is. Maybe then we can help you. OS X can be a real pain to get to work, but once it's installed and stabilized you'll see that it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cykosis Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi, just wanted to share my problems with another Toshiba user. Using "uphuck_10.4.9_v1.4i_r3" Spec: Toshiba L30 type : Intel® Celeron® M processor 410 clock speed : 1.46 GHz Front Side Bus : 533 MHz 2nd level cache : 1 MB ATI Radeon® Xpress 200M Installs fine from DVD but problems arise at startup. Have tried and selected many different options for install that result in a kernel panic or will not load past the Apple logo and grey background. I understand there are known issues with ATI x200 chipsets, so am looking for a patch to solve this. So near yet so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moening Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hello, I run uphucks 10.4.9 v1.3i r2 very succesfully on a toshiba m70-181. @cykosis: I had the same problem at first because I forgot to select a component during install, embarrasingly i don't remember the exact name. But I think it was somethin in the drivers folder, and I don't remember because I still don't know what it was caled. Just look, in my version their were three versions of it, I choose the most general looking and it worked. Maybe it was somethin like IHC?? but not sure hope you find a solution grettings moening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microphoenix Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi! What speed did you burn the dvd at? I found the dvd not installing com.apple.boot.plist unless you burn at 2x speed or 4x. Try re-burning the dvd if you didn't burn at that rate. By the way, I have a Toshiba Qosmio F45-AV w/ Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHZ SSE3 300GB HD w/ HD_DVD Blu Ray +- RW recorder and Intel Wifi A/B/G/N Card Model ??? . Works Perfectly. Even audio!
