nintendo_skyline Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi, I've been having troubles with the installing mac os on my old pc. I'm using the Jas 10.4.8 Intel sse2/3 version. My setup: Intel P4 2.4 ghz (wiki said it's compatible) MSI 845G Max (478 soc) Nvidia ti 200 WD 160 gb harddrive Pioneer DVD-R I think I have successfully installed in onto the harddrive, but when installation is done I can't get into the mac os. I just get mac's grey screen of death telling me to reboot, but same thing over and over. I guess it isn't so successful after all. Any ideas? thanks ns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl8080 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 What motherboard? Press F8 at the darwin bootloader and type "-v" (without the quotes) Report back with the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f11 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Got the same problem. Using a P4 1,7Ghz, nVidia Geforce 2 MX, 1GB Ram and Intel Pro 100/VE ethernet. Don't know much about the motherboard, my system is a HP-Workstation... Uphuck once worked, now I'm trying JaS 10.4.8. and the boot-up stucks at the following point: localhost /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application started After this nothing follows. I tried to install with the Intel LoginWindow patch and without. Both gave me the same result. If anyone can help, please do so. Thanks in advance, f.

f11 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Okay, booting with inserted DVD and the command "rd=disk0s1" finally gets me into OSX, sound & ethernet's working, everything fine. Except the fact that I cannot run a higher resolution than 1024x768 - if I edited my apple.com.boot.plist, I am not able to open Darwin's bootmenu. Sucks :/ It would be also interesting how to update a SSE2 Intel from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 (at least) oder 10.4.10. iLife 08 is otherwise not installable. HALP!!

Artmuzz Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Fantastic!!!!!! Thanks f11, You have solved the problem I was having booting OSX86. I had the same problem as you and then seen your post and typed in the words "rd=disk0s1" and bingo I am now in Mac OSX Only problem is that the max resolution is 1024x768, I cannot use my second monitor and there is no sound from my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI soundcard. Anyway atleast its progress. Cheers Artmuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmuzz Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 neat.. mebbe i shld try this.. Only downside is that you will always have to boot from the DVD when typing those commands to get OSX86 up and running. Artmuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
