iMaurice Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 ok, so I installed osx using the Jas 10.4.8 install dvd (through vmware though), trying to dual boot windows xp and osx86 on my new comp I can run osx off of its partition if I use vmware, but if I try to run osx natively, (using -x -v -s), I always get a launchd error Load of /sbin/launchd, errno 8, trying /sbin/mach_initLoad of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 8 any idea what could be causing this? Specs: AM2 5600+ BIOSTAR NF520-A2 (nforce 520 mcp) 2GB of ram 7900gt 250gb pata hard drive thanks in advance!

~pcwiz Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thankfully, thats a very easy error to solve. That error appears when you mount the ISO directly in VMware. Mount the ISO in Daemon Tools or burn it to a DVD and install it from that. You can use my step-by-step guide (with screenshots) to install OS X on VMware: http://######.com/software/vmwareosx86.htm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64999-jas-1048-help-needed-launchd-error/#findComment-461046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMaurice Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 ^that wasn't my problem, lol I got the error when booting osx, not the osx installer. and not to mention I didn't get that error in vmware, only when booting natively anyways, I got osx working by using tubgirl's 10.4.10 a few minutes ago, I just need to get my realtek rtl8139 ethernet card to work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64999-jas-1048-help-needed-launchd-error/#findComment-461064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
