Both JAS and Uphuck releases failed to boot on my machine, though it seemed 100% compatible (both stuck on the loginwindow.app, and uphuck on MacFUSE sometimes). My system is:

 

Pentium 4 HT 3.4Ghz 550 (SSE2/SSE3)

ASUS P5AD2E-Premium

1GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce 6800 256MB PCI-Expressx16

3x 200GB SATA Seagate and 1x 250GB SATA Seagate

LG DVD Writer

HP CD-Writer Plus 8100

 

What from above could be incompatible? Please Help!

I see a possible problem. Your GeForce 6800 is not compatible with OS X so that may explain your problem but the thing is, usually even if your card isn't compatible, it won't stop OS X from booting...

 

I really don't know what it could be. Here are 2 things you should try:

 

Go into the F8 boot prompt and enter this:

 

cpus=1

 

I don't expect it to help much because you don't have a dual core CPU. Also try typing this at the boot prompt:

 

platform=X86PC

 

One thing I see is that you have Hyper Threading. Some people have gotten OS X to work by disabling Hyper Threading.

hmm, seems to make sense since hyper-threading is recognized as a dual core CPU when actually it isn't. I'll try and see what happens. About the GeForce 6800, both Natit and Titan recognized it.

Just got back... thanks for the tips but it still freezes at the same point. Anything else I could try?

1. Were you able to boot into the OS after install....? If not, I think the problem is...

 

2. On the Uphuck install DVD, the disk utility - I bet your drive is not using the MBR option. If that is the case, goto partition and select the options button; change it to MBR and partition the drive again. It will do the format for you then go throught your install again.

 

Note: the Uphuck 1.4i r3 I have does not have the mail package, I had to install that from another version from the Jas 10.4.8 DVD plus some other util. My next test is to try the power management from the Jas 10.4.8 since it was working for me on that version.

 

Good luck!
