bluemax Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I was so excited to see what looked like a totally clean installation! Unfortunately, at the end of the install and after rebooting, it simply stays on a black screen with blinking cursor. No booting at all. What can I do now? System = Dell Dimension 4400 P4 1.7 768MB DDR 80GB IDE HDD DVD-RW IDE SB Live (can remove for install... maybe I should have) DFE530(?) network card 56k modem (I should remove that too.) Geforce4MX video Maybe I should use a different distro if I can find it?

alfwok Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 You can try JaS 10.4.6! It worked for me on a dell 4550. If you try JaS 10.4.8, maybe you´ll won´t get into desktop because of the nvidia card....I had to delete the geforce/nvidia kext to boot properly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96154-dell-4400-uphuck-1049-clean-install-but-no-boot/#findComment-757813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
