EagleX Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hello again. I FINALLY installed 10.4.3 with weslys patch. I installed the os trough vmware, and trough vmware, it runs normal, but amazingly slow... When Im trying to boot the OS, I see the Apple logo, and the spinning small wheel, and then I get a strange small "block", or "no entrance" image. the wheel keeps spinning, and nothing happens. whats wrong now?

Try holding down the CTRL-key when your PC is booting ... you should get a screen where you can enter boot parameters ... greetz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8802-booting-problem/#findComment-55036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Bear Helms Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The instant of blackness before the grey booting screen comes up, you have a second or three to press F8. Basically, when booting just wail on the F8 key and there should appear a boot: prompt in white letters on a black screen. From here, you type the -v and press enter. You should see quite a spew of text, but the last few lines are what they're asking for. Chances are you have a Kernel Panic indicated, and it's what code and kind that lets them know what may be wrong.

EagleX Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Wow, I didnt expect this msg: still waiting for root device. (...) let me just add some information about my os x x86 installation. I installed it trough vmware, because without it, it didnt recognized my hard drive (SATA). do u think it has something to do with it?

R. Bear Helms Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Problems with root device are well known - a keyword search on these forums or the OSx86 Wiki should reveal some info. If VMWare is NOT presenting your SATA drive as a virtual drive, this may be a problem. I think that kind of hard drive needs to be virtualized thru VMWare and not directly controlled by the emulated OS X system. Exception being if it's known OS X will like your SATA controller - doubtful. I think the iMac Core Duo are still PATA based.
