Wang Chuck Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi, I'm trying to install OSX using the Kalyway 10.5.1 dvd on my T60p 2008-F65. My specs are ( IBM T60 2008-F65 T7400 2.16Ghz 4GB 100GB 7200RPM, Fingerprint Reader , 256MB ATI FireGL V5250, DVD-CDRW) I have partitioned my drive - Windows XP has a 70GB partition, and I created a second primary partition for OSX. The partition is an HFS+ journalled partition. The boot/install works fine. I install using the Vanilla+ACPI kernel, NATIT For ATI, EFI_MBR and Azalia_Out for audio. Following the install, the laptop reboots, and is stuck at a blank black screen with a blinking cursor at the top left corner. I verified that the OSX partition is active using a Knoppix bootable cd. I turned off Vanderpool virtualization in the bios. DEP is enabled. Anyone have a clue why I'm stuck staring at the blinking cursor? The hard drive light is solid-on, but there is no sound of hard-drive activity. I finally gave up after having it stuck there for about an hour. Thanks, Wang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wang Chuck Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Figured it out - my mac partition name had spaces in it (apparently the bootloader has trouble with partition names that include spaces). Wiping and renaming the partition so it had no spaces in the name fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
