CompCrasher86 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 My Specs:MSI K8n Neo Platinum mainboardAMD Athlon 64 XP 3000+ (Socket 754)1gb RamToshiba Lightscribe DVD DrviveNetgear WPN311 WirelessIntel Pro set 10/100+ Ethernet adaptorATI Radeon X700 AGP Graphics80gb Hard DriveHi I'm having trouble booting into installer. After darwin with -v and -x I see a lot of flashing text, then the screen resolution changes and it keeps going for a little bit. Then it freezes a little bit past some firewire error (Will post in a minute). Update: If I don't use -x than I can get to the White apple screen but the loading sign just keeps spinning and spinning. Its been 15 minutes now. Update to the update: About 40 seconds into the spinning, the hard drive makes the same noise it does when the computer powers down and the HDD activity light goes out Update: Tried a TOH dvd also. Same problem! Here is the error that TOH gave me: "BSD root: disk1s3, major14, minor 4" (break) "ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure" (break) "Jettisoning kernal linker." (Break) "unknown SIGSEGV code 0" (then freeze) I also attached a picture of the error: Enough information yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conseanery Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm having a similar problem on my lappy... Comprasher, did you find a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzo M Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I had the same problem. It was just a bad dvd copy. Use a lower burning speed (the lowest you can select) and re-burn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
