mattp_uk Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi, every time i try to install, i get the following error. I am following the guide on this forum but no luck. Hopefully i'm not doing anything too obviously wrong. The error is: Install Failed The Mac OS X could not be installed on your computer ! The Installer could not install some files in "/Volumes/OSX". Contact the software manufacturer for assistance. Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Matt.

deviantlnx Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I am also trying to get this to work on my HP dv2000, (specifically HP dv2620ca) using the latest Kalyway disc. I am only able to get it to install on my USB drive. During the install / disk utility program my internal SATA drive is not detected at all. Is there anythign I can do to get around this? I am able to get it to install to my USB SATA drive however I am yet to actually get the thing to boot. Here is a screenshot (a bad one, camera phone) of where it hangs during the boot. Are there special flags I need to be setting in the customize section during the install? Is this happening because I am trying to run it off a USB drive? Can anyone help? Thanks!

mattp_uk Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hi Nadeem, I left it as you said, the logo below the apple logo span for a while and the HDD light was flashing, its been about 15 mins and nothing. Did it take longer than this? Regards, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomnimac Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Press F8 when it comes up with the boot options. Choose boot from hard drive and use the -v flag, photo of results... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deviantlnx Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I will let you know that I have made some good progress on this using the latest Kalyway disk. I ran the installer (installed to USB drive as I still cant get my internal one working) during the customize screen all I selected was the first AMD option and the legacy one. One actual boot, first boot hung, second boot used -x flag, 3rd boot fully loads - wifi, sound, etc. I did notice that my computer was seriously stuttering unless I moved my mouse - sounds was choppy, but if I moved my mouse around it worked fine - there was some issue with sleep mode or power saving slowing down my chip. I added a line about idlehalt=1 into one of the configs and it elimated the problem. Now I am working on getting proper display resolution - currently stuck at 1024x768, need to get it to 1280x800.
