AlaskanWild Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi. I am hoping someone may be able to help me with a first time install of 10.4.10 on a PC. I am using TubGirl's AMD SSE3 version burned from disk utility on a MacBook. The system specs of the PC I am trying to install to are: Shuttle SK22G2B XPC box Motherboard: Shuttle FX22V10 Chipset: VIA K8M890CE Southbridge: VIA VT8237 Video: Onboard DeltaChrome 128 bit Core: Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor AM2 socket w/SSE3 HDD: Seagate 250 GB SATA Memory: 2 GB Kingston 240-pin When I boot from CD, the initial install screen come up fine. I load Darwin, press F8 for options, and select "-v" to see what is going on. Everything seems to go fine until I get the following lines: "AppleVIAATADriver: VIA 8237 SATA (CMD 8xfe00, CIR 8xfd00, IRQ 20, BM 8xfa00) IOATAController device blocking bus AppleVIAATADriver: VIA 8237 SATA (CMD 8xfe00, CIR 8xfd00, IRQ 20, BM 8xfa00)" Then the system just hangs "waiting on device". Does anyone have a suggestion on how (or if) I can get this to work? I've really just had it with XP/Vista and want to run OSX natively on my desktop. Thanks!

DylanC Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I got that error too. Is your HDD set as primary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapam Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Try IDE Hdd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanWild Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I don't even have an IDE controller in my box. The system is SATA through and through. Can I install to a USB drive and them pop that into the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
