Ant Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've gone through Part 1 of "You Know Who's" instructions with the v1 patch files, and each time I do, I end up with a blue screen and a spinning wheel. I've left it running for about 45 mins and it just hangs each time I've tried. I'm installing natively onto a PATA drive from a freshly installed 10.4.3 (JaS 4.2b patch) on the same drive - the drive is partitioned as follows: 10.4.4 Primary HFS+ partition 10.4.3 Primary HFS+ partition Primary NTFS data partition (music) My hardware spec is as follows: AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego ABit AN8 Ultra NForce4 Motherboard 3Com 3C905 NIC nVidia 6200 Turbo Cache PCI-E Graphics Card Any ideas? I've not tried via VMWare yet - that's next on my list, although a certain place that must not be named has disappeared so I'll leave it for the time being. Hope someone can help.

technolion Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 What do you see, if you boot with the '-v' switch? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9584-1044-install-hangs-with-blue-screen-and-spinning-wheel/#findComment-59706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 What do you see, if you boot with the '-v' switch? If I carry on through Part 2 of "his" instructions and boot with the -v (or -s) switch, I get the following error (shortly after the resolution changes) constantly repeated down the screen: AppleFWOHCI_AsyncReceive::waitForDMA - context not going inactive Is there any way of doing a logged install to maybe find what's causing the Part 1 install (i.e. when running OSInstall.pkg)?

Ant Posted February 22, 2006 Author Share Posted February 22, 2006 Update: Googled and found that AppleFWOHCI is something to do with Firewire. Just out of curiosity, I disabled Firewire in my BIOS and tried again. Locked up at the end of Part 1 as before. Will try VMWare tonight to see if it's "user error".
