mt_holden_ss Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Hi guys, ive been back and forth from this site...very helpful and very useful at times...Ok gettin to the point, last yr, i had the .dmg image of the x86 osx os...i converted it to .iso and burned to dvd...put in dvd drive boot off that...now i couldnt get past the boot screen i could see the cirlce thingy then after a while a icon would come up up above it. Now i got quite frustrated when it all came south...and left the thought about having a osx x86 pc, and just a week ago ive started to invest time into learning about it again. I still have the .iso and dvd, if anyone knows y it wont boot into it...thanx for any help. Now i now have the MAc osx x86 VMWare image. Now ive been told thats the better way to go. Now i want to multi boot osx, and win xp, any tips? or anyone here have free time to guide me through it? my mns is : [email protected] Ive read the wiki guide documents and thinking of doing this guide: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...le_And_Accurate Anyone here followed that guide...any tips? Thanks much guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much guys... Install OSX86 as first OS (with a patched 10.4.3 DVD), take a look at the Maxxuss homepage, the wiki and the forum for more infos. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...allation_Guides Once OSX86 is installed, you can make a multiboot with (almost) all OS without problem: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?s=...indpost&p=24632 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt_holden_ss Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 i did apply the patch...my only thought is why it wouldnt get past the boot screen and would have a icon above the cirlce thingy after 5 min. Ill see how the vmware image goes..ill let u kno how it goes, i plan on doin it on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Bear Helms Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 That is a description of a kernel panic late in the installation phase. Read the words printed there and give us the full text of the line that begins with "panic" - that usually points at the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt_holden_ss Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 mmm, i think i kno y i cant get osx booted with the dvd image and the vmware image, i think its because my hard drive is sata, not ata, if that makes any sense, none the less i just wish i knew that before, going through with the project, dont matter, this week im purchasing a G4 tower, second hand for $200, so no let down, ill still have a mac tiger, but genuine...Thanks for your help anyways..
