spaceman07 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi I have been trying to install mac os x86 10.4.9 using uphuck universal 1.3 uphuck 1.4i r3 both with the same outcome apple logo followed by a restart of the laptop. I have updated the bios to the latest version and now i am able to set the drive to a compatible mode.. and this has not made any difference. Tried also with following parameters -x -v cpus=1 -x -v This just hangs with "Using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" my hardware info is as follows: intel core 2 duo chipset GM965 Southbridge ICH8-ME sata drive 2gb ram atheros wireless graphics intel gma x3100 I have installed using the universal version on my pc no problems.. and also on amilo pro v3405 using the intel version - laptop i dont have anymore I would appreciate it if anyone can help me. Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestevo Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 v1.4r3 is what you'll have the most luck with, since you have ICH8. What installation options have you selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u0159419 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, exactly same problem hier with an Asrock Conroe1333 Board with an intel 945 Chipset??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucsoo Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I have exactly the same problem on an ASUS F3SC notebook. That one has ICH8 also. I've tried JaS 10.4.8 and Kalyway 10.4.10. JaS install was fine with cpus=1 -x -v but booting hangs up at the same line in the topic. "Using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" -x flag does not work when booting from hdd. Now I'm downloading uphuck 1.4 r2 and r3. I hope they will be okay!! EDIT: r2 stucks at the same line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman07 Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 using 1.4 r3 I cannot choose any option as it does not get that far.. as soon as the apple logo comes.. laptop restarts itself. when i try with flags cpu=1 -x -v install hangs same as above thread.

AlexIT Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The problem is the bios, and the acpi. The only way to boot is: - boot option -x -v cpus=1 - moving off EXTENSIONS dir during boot - moving back EXTENSIONS dir after boot, before loading loginWindow If the bootloader can't find EXTENSIONS dir it will load the cached mkext and it boots, but WindowServer needs real EXTENSIONS dir to work. So, you have to patch the /etc/rc script to move off and back that dir (renaming).
