Marcaen Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Strange thing is Activity Monitor shows CPU to be between 96 and 99.x % idle and yet the CPU fan is stepping up like there is a heavy load when in fact there is not... puzzled I am... Any ideas from anyone? Thanks in advance. Personally I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like a typical fan problem in Linux, where it doesn't know whether your CPU FAN is running through ACPI and so tells it to run full blast.

AnthonyA Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 i retried it but i still didn't get it to work. ANYBODY with an XPS 410 setup or some knowledge of it, can you help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanis Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 No clue why, but the install suddenly worked, using the default kernel no less. It looks like the 'SATA drivers' package is suspect and tends to bork on p5b's. All I can recommend for those having issues is to: 1) hit F8 during boot (before darwin bootloader starts) and use -v to see where things break 2) install as few drivers as practicably possible, working through until you find the right combo 3) backup your fresh install if at all possible - I have dumped this working install to a disk image if I need to receover There is help here and I did try a couple things suggested, but people cannot help you with random "it doesn't work" comments. Be specific, write down what the error is and then ask. This isn't a good release for those who are just starting out as it does take a lot of trial-and-error on many systems it appears.

AnthonyA Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 his isn't a good release for those who are just starting out as it does take a lot of trial-and-error on many systems it appears. Ya tell me about it. I did talk about it earlier in this topic, but you know. Anyways it gets to "Login Windows application Started" Then my screen shuts off. I don't know what graphics driver i need to choose (I suspect that is the problem) I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8800. (I don't know the vram of it though. I awsume it is 768MB, but that is a guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuke Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Thank you so much again mac.nub!! Everything working now, dual DVI with my 19' TFT's, one widescreen and one regular. Just installed Bromya's X1950pro AGP installer and now it works beautiful! Just see when you got a x1950pro agp you select the x19x0 driver by jcool only . With this one you boot with dual DVI and diff resolutions but no QE/CI yet, so you install Bromya's installer (check search for anyone who wants it). Maybe you should implement that installer in your build next time, anyways great release . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copex Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hey I think you might want to try Master Boot Record Instead of the default Apple Partition Scheme. Do this by going into Disk Utility at the DVD Startup, select your hard drive, and then go to the partition tab. Then choose options and make it MBR! Click Partition, install, and enjoy! -commander Thank you, this sorted out the booting problem, now it just crashes :-) useing -v-f it hangs and times out on IO Dreivers....

Dragonshadow Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 is the reason why the installer gets done with base system one then tells me to restart either: Because when I tried to erase the HDD I installed to, 1st it gave me a permission error, so I did it again and it worked Or, Because I burned the iso to a DVD+RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flibblesan Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Was this release actually tested? I've noticed that non of the supposed testers have posted in this thread, or even offered help, which is a shame. Some people are having new problems, but a lot of people are having problems with hardware that works on other releases. Klinsmann: You need to go to the menu at the top, and select Disk Utility from the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
