Hi,

 

I have Compaq Presario 2100 notebook (2GH, 756 MB RAM)

and 10.4.3_8F111a ISO. (Pathed Jas 111a)

I am trying installing using guide from profi42.com but installation

freesing from very beginning, just seen only Apples LOGO.

 

Where is the problem in my PC or ISO?

or are there other installation method?

 

Please help me I love to try TIGER.

 

Thanks in advance

That was the guide I started with, and it's honestly more trouble than it's worth - for one thing, he makes you go get 2 commercial software packages (or was it 3?) - PartitionMagic IMO is junk and Acronis can do all its functions perfectly well.

 

The Wiki (link in my signature line) has a Technical FAQ about preparing a drive for OS X under Windows.

 

Once you have a partition you can use for it (obviously you have to shrink your original Windows partition with Acronis or whatever first), then the 10.4.3 JaS patched DVD (ISO burned to a new DVD) should boot and run.

 

If not, wait for the Darwin prompt, press F8 and try the options:

platform=ACPI -x -v

 

Look for a line that begins "panic(cpu..." and tell us the nitty gritty details of what's there. That's where problem diagnosis can begin.

Nothings changed, same results, only LOGO.

And there no panic mesages.

What I have to do?

I have NTFS 30GB and 7GB AF

 

Do you know what it says in the diagnostic mode when booting to the DVD. I got a Compaq v2000 with AMD Turion 64 and it hung at the gray screen no Kernel Panic. I then boot the DVD with -v to see what's going wrong and the installation stuck at "Still wait for device" or something like that. Searching around, I later found out it could either be the Darwin doesn't see the Hard Drive or the optical drive. Fortunately, I have an external DVD burner at home so I plugged that to the laptop and ran the DVD from there, it loaded right to the Installer. Sad thing is the trackpad and keyboard weren't recognized during the installation so I stopped it at that.
