I am trying to install Mac OS Tiger on my x86 SSE2 laptop that was purchased in 2005.
When I bootup I am getting a message.
mDNSResponder-108 ... starting
This line stays there forever and nothing happens.
Any ideas, directions, software recommendations, or anything else are 100% appreciated. Again, I am new to using Macs.
Thanks you.

I found some custom optional software on the install CD. Installed the options.
Now, when I bootup, I see the error
ktext[28] a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext
This error is followed by a backtrace.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this error?
Andre
By some accidental guess and luck I did the following.
I used the GParted Live CD to remove the boot flag from the partition where Mac OS Tiger resides.
Next, with the Install CD, in the CD-ROM drive, I booted up.
Now, I am past the 'Keyboard' configuration part. I am at the 'Your Network Configuration' part.
So far, the situation feels much better.
