DMSM2 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 im a noob at this and i cant get anything to work read a bunch on instruction and still cant do anything (noob) here are my system specs hp m8330F Prossesor name: AMD Phenom 9500 quad-core processor Package: Socket AM2+ (940) Motherboard: Asustek Model: Asus M2N68-LA Chipset: Nvidia MCP61 SouthBridge: Nvidia MCP61 LPCIO: FINTEK F8000 RAM: 3GB Video Card:Nvidia GeForce 8500Gt 256MB ok prettymuch when i put the Zephyroth leopard 10.5.2 AMD-EFI DVD in the drive and reboot the computer, then it asks me to hit any key to boot from cd if i do that it reboots the computer , if i hit f8 for advanced menu and type -x for safe mode reboots , -s for single mode reboots , -v reboots as well , anything i type in it always reboots, if some one would help my i would really appreciate it , if i started this thread pointlessly let me know and i will post it in the right place, thnx alot An interesting note that I also have the exact same PC model ... the m8330f ... the difference.... OSX86 is installed and working properly on MY pc ..... not to worrie... as I have a solution that I have stumbled upon thanks to the insainly mac forum here as well as the piratebay.org I would like to start off by saying that the AMD phenom 9500 CPU is not the problem ( thankfully because that would be an expensive fix for just a fake version of the Mac OS ) Also before you try any other types of OSX86 ... like Kalyway, Leo4All, iAtkos etc.... NONE of these work. That is, exept for one called " iDeneb " ( which by the way whoever comes up with these names... would it KILL you to make some more attractive ones ??? ) So the solution??? Download and install the version... thing...... whatever it is...... called " iDeneb " and install that. Hopefully you can boot in the installation process without having to do any of that weird .... condiluded -x -v -a;lsdjf;lasjdf ... whatever it is. This is unfortunately all of the help that I can give at the moment because I am currently in the installation process ... trying to fix the audio driver... (Eventhough... OSX does work natively) I will post specific installation instructions later... that is.... if you haven't already figured it out yourself. ( afterall... that's what I had to do ) OH!!!!.. and one last thing... eventhough the install process is finished you still have to leave the Install DVD in the drive when it restarts. Aperently during the first boot, the DVD still needs to be accessed .... if you do not do this you will get the annoying ... "Waiting for root device" error... ... OK WELL that is what happened to me at least Hope I could be at least somewhat of help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
