track09 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 1. Tell us what the problem is exactly. 2. You may not have much luck with the ATI graphics card 3. Try a more current release, 10.4.3 is OLD, much software won't run on it, and newer OSx86 releases are much more polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoNeedsVista Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 My problem is that when i try and boot the dvd it just restarts. I have tried 10.4.7 also didnt boot. I also tryed booting in VMware and still didnt boot it said something like kernel stack error. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain 10.4.3 releases had major issues in VMware 5.5x If 10.4.7 did the same, you probably have incompatible hardware, none of your specs look exactly on level with compatibility we've seen so far.

Lactobacillus P Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 bump Take a look at the Wiki and see if your laptop is among the supported hardware. JaS 10.4.8 PPF1 & PPF2 might actually do the trick for you, that one is easiest right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
