scrupul0us Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I just installed OSX86 onto my dell optiplex GX270 using this iso: Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso I erased the entire harddrive using the disk utitlity and let OSX install to the drive... i selected most of the options given to me at the time except for ATI support and AMD support (i have an intel chipset)The install went just fine but when i reboot i get to a gray screen with the apple logo and the "cursor" spins for a bit then just freezes... a few seconds later some music plays for a while, then some dudes voice tells me about something and then nothing happens... im still stuck at the same screen help? the last thing i see when i boot with "-v" is "no airport driver found" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well, how about you blew the install? I have no idea: 1) what hardware you have 2) what install choices you made So, how can I help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveeen Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 as for hardware... just w/e is on board on the mobo Well, ok, answer me this: If you don't know SPECIFICALLY what is in your computer how can you hope to install an operating system successfully? Each, and every, check box you check off installs something, if you install wrong, be it too much, too little, or just miss the mark entirely, this isn't going to work.

Reveeen Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Why would you not have installed that if it was your intention? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=75841 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
