Macx64 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 as the subtitle suggests I installed Tiger, all went well. It tells me I need to restart so I do. when it boots up I get a black screen with a stationary underscore that just sits there. it does this whether I have the install CD in or out. anybody have any ides on what to do. I'm new at this and have searched the forums, but cannot find a topic like this.

I have the exact same problem but when the installation dvd is in and if I repeatedly press F8 after booting into the dvd, tiger boots.

I personnally have found most success on different machines with Jas 10.4.8 w PPF1 and PPF2 However, from a generic standpoint, and from encountering the same problem, you may want to check a couple of things. 1. On one of my installations, i had to disable SATA in my BIOS. Once I did that, OSx booted up and ran fine 2. (and more critically) follow installation guides of some gurus here. I had failure the first time around since i was just skimming the guides and assuming that I could get it up and running from my general PC experience. Best of luck!
