~pcwiz Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 It usually means that you have a damaged disk. Use the Repair Disk function from the OSx86 Install DVD in Disk Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quasar_x Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 It usually means that you have a damaged disk. Use the Repair Disk function from the OSx86 Install DVD in Disk Utility. I have the same problem. "Errors encountered while starting up the computer." every time when I boot into OS X. Repair disk and repair permissions didn't help. What else could cause this error message? I didn't find a lot about it on the internet. Btw, I am using Iatkos 10.5.1 patched to v2/3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Maybe a damaged install DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R@v3n Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I also have the same problem. Using Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD. I haven't tried the repair disk function yet so I can't verify if that will work with my installation. I'll post here afterwards when I get around to it.

saglaim Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Still no luck with the repair thing. Did you ever figure this one out? I get this error with iATKOS v1.0ir2 and Kalyway 10.5.2. It tries to load after the error message but then restarts, everytime. Inspiron e1505, Intel T7200 2x2.0 GHz, 2x1 GB OCZ 667, ATI X1400. Thanks for the help.

~pcwiz Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've had these errors before, and they usually relate to: 1) Damaged install disk 2) Corrupted files 3) Missing files Considering that this is a new install that this happens with, its probably a damaged install disk. Use a different brand of DVD-R disc and burn at 2x speeds. Also make sure that your MD5 checksum verifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl8080 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I get this too, also on Kalyway 10.5.2. Checked the MD5 and burnt at 2x, using verbatim disks - still the same problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfire2004 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi. I have same problem with my IBM X60 laptop. Anyone know how to debug this. Where would the log files be held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesthete Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The same problem here. iatkos 10.5.5 updated to .6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Wullie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 same problem here using downloaded retail copy 10.5.4 and boot-132. Has anyone solved this issue yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac10 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 For me, it happens everytime I stop the boot countdown, I mean, if I let it boot by itself it boots fine, but if I interrupt it and press any key, no matter what it will give me that error. So I don't think it's always related to "real" errors/problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundBlaster Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have asus MB M2N-MX SE.

SoundBlaster Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I installed some audio and USB kext and this problem came back ((( Now I can not install osx86 correctly. damned! I think it is a bootloader's problem. "starting up computer" - it isn't a OS's report, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
