skyfox Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I booted Phenix's dvd on 2 machines, with different results: 1. Generic, Cel-D 3.6, 1gb ram, i865, Radeon 9800, SATA: Got the gray Apple screen with rotating bars. After a few minutes it froze up and a new icon appeared in the middle of the screen. Like a white box with a diagonal line through it. 2. Dell Dim 4700, P4-3.0, 512mb ram, i915G, SATA: Got the gray Apple screen with rotating bars as before. After a few minutes, the screen turned blue and I saw the mouse pointer appear on the upper left. However, you could not move it. After a few seconds more, it turned into the spinning rainbow icon. After that it seemed to freeze up. Both machines have SSE3, so that is not an issue. I think its most likely the GMA900 integrated video that got the Dell further than my other box. In fact, the only major difference between this Dell and an Apple Dev machine is the TPM chip. I guess that's why it still got stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathChill Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have a 3.6 GHz P4, 1 GB RAM, Radeon 9800 XT and SATA drives and I get to the blue screen + spinning ball, so it's NOT tied to the video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfox Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Deathchill, what chipset is on your mainboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxiedog Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I have gotten to the same point as Deathchill with an Intel 925X based system with a 3.6 P4, 2GBs RAM, 160GB SATA, and Nvidia QuadroFX 3400 video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfox Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 It sounds like you need an Intel 915/925 chipset and/or a P4. Has anybody tried it with a Celeron-D on 915/925 chipset? Those have SSE3, but no hyperthreading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Box is there so are buttons, but no text) uh that's the farthest so far. No one else has got to anything but the blue screen with the spinning beachball.
