acquire Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi guys n gals,this is my computer configuration: P4 2.4GHz(no HT) ac97 onboard audio sse3 cpu. I dontexactly know what info to give but i will if you tell me what to give. I used the macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg file with the patch file 1111a.Generic.Patch.v4.2b.zip Checked the md5sums they are allright. Burned the iso to a DVD +RW at speed 4x and it said SAM multimedia READ or WRITING failed,Asc=0x11,Ascq=0x00;Disk1s2:I/O error.this message comes several times when I tried it natively When i tried booting the image in vmware,It came to the famous kernel panic,waiting for debugger device thing and finally gave restart in five or so languages. Could any one kindly point out my errors and correctme???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acquire Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 wooh!A reply at last.Thanks for your suggestion.Here is my progress.I tried it at 2.4x on the dvd +RW It didnt work but it has workded on a dvd +R(I mean it crossed the point where it says sam multimedia error.But now I am stuck with another weird problem.I started the installation and went on well till Installing essentials came.It said some /System/Library/Framework/Addressbook blahblahhlah.. file/directory missing and said please try installing again.I tried again but it didnt work I tried installing in vmware booting from the iso image mounted with alcohol and it worked and didnt complain of anything like the nativeone did.So I thought the problem must lie with writing the dvd.But to my surprise when I tried installing in vmware from the dvd,It didnt report of any error!!And it completed the installation and came to the register your apple account screeen. I dont understand what caused this weird thing.Can anyone explain this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdavy2002 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 10.4.3 is VERY picky about the DVD itself, the reader, the burner, try burning the image into a DVD-RW at 2x. Also turn your antivirus off while burning or any program that might interfere. These sort of errors while probably hardware related can also stem from not only poor media, but media that exceeds or is newer then your hardware.... e.g. If you Were to put 4x or 8x DVD Media into 1x 2x DVD Burner that would cause problems. Same with dvd. Putting in 6x Media can potentialy cause problems with older burners that never new anything better then 4 or 2x. When starting your boot, turn off USB in bios and start with -v -x platform=x86pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
