handyandy164 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi there, I was reading about the wonders of OSx86 and decided that ill 'give it a go!' I downloaded the Mac OS X v10.4.8 JaS Intel/AMD SSE2/SSE3 w/ PPF1. I booted the DVD and it loaded up, and installed it onto a seperate 20GB drive. I want to triple boot with XP, Vista and Mac. (Eventualy with Ubuntu aswell, so a Quad-Boot) At the moment, I cant Mac to appear in my boot loader so I just boot from the hard disk (see link below for video) and then I get this rather scary error message, which appears to my 14 year old knowledge, as a 'Kernel Panic'. I have included a video, with the screen, and filmed as much as I could... My specs: Acer Aspire Intel P4 2.8GHz 786MB Ram Intel 82865G Intergrated Graphics (But Im using an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 because the 82865G is in Black and white...) 160GB Seagate Barracuda (With XP/Vista Dual-Booted Properly - NTFS - 2 Partitions) 20GB Seagate 'something!' (With Mac installed) Any help to get this thing to boot/make the install dvd look right would be fantastic, Thanks in advance, Andrew. P.s. Link to video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9XJ5NMV7 (7.6MB) Thx guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handyandy164 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Please note: My mac installation didn't work because I installed AMD instead of Intel. But when I install I get an error because of the disk. It happens when its installing the 'Semthex' kernel, or something... help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handyandy164 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 OK, I have FINALLY got the Jas 10.4.8 INTEL/AMD SSE2/SSE3 w/ PPF1 to install, BUT it comes up with this error: Disk boot failure. Insert System disk and press enter. I put in the system disk (the install DVD) press enter, and it continues to load my XP installation on a seperate HDD. My specs: Acer Aspire Intel P4 2.8GHz 786MB Ram Intel 82865G Intergrated Graphics (But Im using an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 because the 82865G is in Black and white...) 160GB Seagate Barracuda (With XP/Vista Dual-Booted Properly - NTFS - 2 Partitions) 20GB Seagate 'something!'
