Hi

 

I successfully installed JaS's release 10.4.8 on a slave hdd. I'm Tri-booting XP Home, Vista and MacOSX.

 

After selecting OSX, it booted to a screen where i see the circular mac loading thingy, following that i get a black screen.

 

I'm running:

Intel P4 2.4GHz

ATi Radeon 9000 64MB DDR

 

I've read some of the topics which suggest upgrading kernel / installing drivers for graphic card, but i can't see a thing when i boot, so i definitely can't fix the problem within OSX itself.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks!

you have to get the right timing, but hit F8 just before the apple screen comes up, then type in "-v" without the quotes, and post what you see. -v enables verbose mode, so instead of the apple logo, you should see, a bunch of text, post what you see, and then we can help.
