termin8tor Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 i'm sorry losoco, you'll need to articulate your sentences into coherent strings of text before anyone can really help you. Post your exact system specs, such as CPU, HardDisk type (sata? IDE?) , motherboard chipset, graphics chip. I doubt you have enough ram to run osX though, 256 is abysmaly low.

termin8tor Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Try putting your disk in, restarting and when the installer displays "press any key to start up from CD-ROM, or press F8 to enter startup options." Press your F8 key, type "-v" without the quotations, and post whatever the error message it displays is when it freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrunnin Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I seem to be having the same symptom as losoco and many other users on the forum - installing works fine, but OS X hangs after displaying the gray Apple logo screen. In my case, the screen blanks, although it sounds like the drive is still being accessed. Even though it seems to be a somewhat common problem, I've found very few solutions. I tried something one guy said doing: installing EVERYTHING in the installer, (the JaS 10.4.8 is the installer I'm using,) including both the Intel and AMD drivers. This didnt seem to affect anything. I have also used the -x and -f flags, which didnt help either. (I'm not sure what the -f flag does though.. i know -x is safe mode.) This is all using a kinda old computer, here are the specs: Pentium 4 - 1.6ghz - no SSE3, only supports up to SSE2 - The installer is supposed to support SSE2, but is there a more compatible one? Diamond S120 128mb Radeon 9550 1 gig memory motherboard.. um.. don't remember/not something I can find in device manager. If needed, i can go look for the manual and find the model number. Yes, I've used verbose mode. Before it hangs, it has problems finding the right driver for my video card. Something about an inability to find the right family class..?

ShadowBandit Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 im still looking for an answer? I have Compaq V2404us Laptop. Installed using VMware i can boot each and every time with it no prob but soon as i try native it hangs at the gray apple screen with rotating gear at the bottom. I did Verbose and from the looks of it, it hangs when it gets to detecting the Boot Device disk0s2 14 2 it has to have somethign to do with installing in vmware bios settings from there and the ones from my mobo but not sure what they are or if there is a patch i can apply..?? all i want to do is use pawnage 2.0 for my i phone hahha!!
