mac-fish Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 hi, when i try to boot osx from dvd 10.4.8 on my self-built pc with following specs ECS GF7050VT-M Intel Pentium D 925 2x3 ghz Palit Geforce 8600 gts 512mb 1gb RAM. IDE dvd drive... it just rebooots (no error message or sth) if i boot with -x it looks like booting ( the boot screen appears ) but it does nothing... the bootmenu shows that my hdd is hd(111, 1) shouldnt it be ( if master ) hd0, 0? im sorry i dont know the exact name of the IDE controller... should i get a SATA dvd drive?

happycar Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Everyone seems to like using the 10.4.8 (JaS) Install DVD. I recommend the Uphuck release of 10.4.9 (Rev 3). I have so many different distros of OS X86 is isnt funny! But out of them all 10.4.9 seems to be better. If you have a copy or can get one, give that a try and see what happens or comes up. Just before it restarts, can you see what the last line of text it outputs? It might give us a hint.

Kay T Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Or better get the XxX's ot JaS's 10.4.10 - there are a lot of improvements there, you won't regret.
