Installed Tiger, Now Issues

[TaiLZ]

Hello,

 

I recently installed OSX Tiger 1.4.9 on my spare 20gb HDD and it all went well, but after the installation, i can never get it to boot into it.

 

It stars the Mac Loading bit and just keeps spinning the spinny thing and that X pops up.

Images attached,

 

Any ideas, im Running 2.8GHZ P4 Intel.

Can you tell us a bit more about your system, other than 2.8ghz Intel.

 

Personally, I have had the best luck with the XxX 10.4.11 release, complete with detailed instructions, and missing the FU screen (as it loads/attempts to load the OS it gives you a running log as to what is going on).

It's a HP D530

 

It's

 

Pentium 4 2.8 GHZ Single Processor

512mb RAM (Crucial PC 2700, had more but they all blew up unrelated to the OSX)

20GB HDD for the Mac OS X

 

CPU Technical:

 

Code Name: Northwood

Brand ID: 9

Package: Socket 478 mPGA

 

HP 085ch Model

Chipset Intel i865P/PE/i848p

Southbridge: 82801EB (ICH5)

 

Bios HP Version 786B2 v2.4.3

 

I have a PCI ATI x1650 Radeon Pro Graphics Card also, maybe this is the reason? I can take it out and try with the Built in Intel Integrated Graphics if you think it might help.

 

Thanks.

OK, I take it, on-board video, no AGP slot, no way to disable video in bios, and no auto-disable (so main memory assigned to on-board video is lost) you have to do the disable on-board video trick in windoze device manager.

 

Loose the PCI video card, try reinstalling a SSE2 system with no video choices (you will get a default VESA driver), and see how that goes. It will suck, and be slow (video), but you have no other choices.
