esoterick Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 bump, please help should i try different installs or what if so what ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esoterick Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Was able to get past where i was using the following boot options "-x -legacy cpus=1" this would allow the installer to complete fully. I installed with the default options then included my NVinject for Desktop for my Grafx card. Rebooted... and got the "b0 error" read that switching to MBR might change this. Reinstalled and changed to MBR and everything looks like its about to load then it restarts it gets to past loading darwin and the screen flashes then dies. Please, i beg you to help me. This is really frustrating me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomnimac Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Press F8 just before darwin boots and enter those flags again to boot the newly installed system. The b0 error can easily be fixed by making the partition active with some termanial commands or program of your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
