osxonmylaptop Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi all, I've an Acer Travelmate 4220 Centrino T1350 1.86mhz (Core Solo SSE2 SSE3) Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Family TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632D Realtek High Definition Audio Agere Systems HDA Modem Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC When I boot with -v, tryed 10.4.5 and 10.4.7 JAS ISOs, I got the following error: Creating RAM Disk for /var/run Launching Crash Reporter SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE Failed, ASC = 0x3e, ASCQ = 0x02 disk1s3: I/O error /etc/rc.cdrom: line 175: /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs: Input/output error SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE Failed, ASC = 0x3e, ASCQ = 0x02 + repeated over and over I guess the disc is ok because tryed on an ASUS A4000 and runs installation ok. I've read some people saying that the DVD has to be in the same cable of the hard disk, but this is a laptop and I'm not sure how it is, and I can't change it... I guess if I can copy the whole DVD to a temporary partition it should work...but don't know how to do that. Any one can help? Thanks!

codestain Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I had downloaded many (if not all) versions of 10.4.6-10.4.7.. The only one that worked for me was the Jas 10.4.8 (Intel-AMD) version (Not the Jas 10.4.8 Intel only). And I put it in an external usb hard drive! Chances are that is should work for you too..

osxonmylaptop Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Perfect, I burnt a DVD +R at 2x and it worked!!! I could launch the installer but no disk appears as destination, I guess I'll have to use disk utility, I will search the forum. Thanks. May be I look for a 10.4.8 any way.

osxonmylaptop Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 I created a primary partition (without formatting) on the free space, in Disk Utility Erased (formatted) that partition to HFS Journaled and it magically appeared as a valid destination drive. It installed smooth and quick, I also have boot load menu pressing F8 (readed in the forum). But I have problems with video driver (Intel 945GM) but if boot in safe mode (-x) works great! I've read that there is Intel GMA support in the DVD but mine doesn't have... Bye.
