xSuRgEx Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 some more info on your cpu type would help. remember if your cpu dosnt have SSE2 or higher you wont be able to boot at all. goto www.cpuid.org and download cpuz once downloaded, unzip it and run cpuz and it will show you what extentions you have.

firebush05 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Make sure its an SSE2 or SSE3 capable CPU. Trash the old install. Download DVD patch, burn, install. Don't even attempt the other installs unless you know what your doing, extremely bored, and a bit sado-masochistic. Those are obsolete, and if you haven't gotten the old installs to work, you never will. I never did, but the DVD took under an hour and had success the first try.

marcovth Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 What's the name of the DVD file. There are several names. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/666-os-x-doesnt-boot/#findComment-13607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSuRgEx Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 if you even bothered to LOOK for it you would have seen the name of the DVD in this link http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=1753 its not hard to use the search now is it? sorry if it looks like iam having a go at you. but there are posts like yours all over the place. with people to lazy to look for them selves. IMHO no one should even be attempting to install osx86 if they cant even use a search engine.
