captaincrab Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I tried to install OSX on this pc: Motherboard: some MSI OEM thingy CPU: Pentium 4 s486 2.53Ghz northwood memory: 512mb /768mb vga: Geforce 4 / 6800le HD: some old 12gb harddrive / some old 9gb harddrive (only thing I had spare) I tried 2 different memory thingies because during the install with -v I read something with 256 blah unallocated space so I thought, what the hell lets change the memory to 512mb. didnt work. As you can see I also tried 2 different videocards, and 2 different harddisks, both a bit old though (they work perfectly fine, I just love the sound of jetengines in my computer). so I tried to install with the Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2] dvd, but that failed before it could even start. I reconnected my harddisk IDE cable to a different connector on the motherboard and after that I was able to start the installation. All goes well untill it comes to a reboot. It shows this message: you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button. So I tried to reinstall several times with different options, without and with common hardware drivers, with or without videocard drivers but nothing worked (I think the nvidia drivers kill the installation even more because if I select those it doesnt even come to the reboot message Then I did a reboot pressing F8 then type -s -v or something and this is what I got: does anyone have a solution for this problem? that would be mawsome really Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69932-installation-of-1048-goes-wrong/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSXon86 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 You got a kernal panic. When you install, do a minimal install (only cpu instructions, base system, and absolutly necessary items, like video) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69932-installation-of-1048-goes-wrong/#findComment-496239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincrab Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 like I posted before I reinstalled a few times while trying different options, I'm really out of options with the dvd so the solution has to be somewhere else Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/69932-installation-of-1048-goes-wrong/#findComment-496773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
