Dullestbulb Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 This is my first time trying to install any kind of mac os on my system, and I have tried numerous commands while booting (-s, -v, -f, -x, cpus=1, and vanilla). However no matter what i do, it will only boot up so far in the installations. Depending on the boot up commands, it may either go to the grey apple loading screen and hang, or it will give me a device is write locked error. I've looked for days throughout the forum with no success, plus the fact the search feature is a little goofed up doesnt help much either. Is there anyway to allow the device to be written to so that installation may continue, since i believe that is the main problem? As for my specs, Motherboard: ECS GeForce6100SM-M (1.0) Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100S Micro ATX AMD CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane 1.9GHz Socket AM2 HD (XP): Western Digital Caviar SE WD400JD 40GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 HD (Mac): Toshiba IDE 40GB (old laptop drive with adapter) Video: EVGA 256-P2-N615-TX GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Memory: CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Sound: Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE 7.1 Channels PCI Interface WiFi: EDIMAX EW-7128G PCI By the way, I am currently running the Kalyway 10.5.1 iso Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85116-stuck-on-apple-logo-or-device-is-write-locked/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgsheen Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Kalyway? Patched for AMD? Or are you trying to use an Intel .iso on an AMD CPU...
