or better, 2 questions.
Last week I found out, that it is possible to install OSX on AMD systems, so i got a OSX AMD version but i´m not able to install
it... i have 2 versions, one always restarts immediately after the darwin prompt, [just at the beginning] and the other one always
makes an error: -->Debugger Called: Panic..Double Panic and so on, but i can se an Apple^^
Has anybody an idea, whats wrong with my system?
[AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+, ASUS Crosshair, 7900GT, 4gig Ram]
Second question is, can i get the zerophyte osx somewhere?
Thanks for your help!

oki, thx
but the other problem is just more terrible...i just don´t know, whats wrong
with my sys...and i don´t understand the restart everytime, you know?
i just checked a lot of things...maybe osx has a prob with a raid array? oder s-ata discs?
mhm, but i don´t have an external hdd
and don´t want to install on an IDE drive..to slow..
has anybody tried or even managed to install on an
sata disc, or is there no possibility?
yeah, I already tried tose flags, but they didn´t cause anything...it just won´t work..
@cgsheen
yeah, but how do I do this? I´m not really a noob with those things, but thats kinda hard for me..
i think...i already read a thread about building my own installation DVD..but therefore I needed
2 images..one of tiger and one of leopard...and I just didn´t understand what they wanted from me..
sorry...
so, now i have zeph´s image...
I tried to install on my PC [AMD machine..] but it always restarts, just after the first prompt...I have no idea what to do, I
think, it just won´t work with my system...I also tried to install on our laptop..and wow, I was ready to install..okay,
the laptop has a Intel DualCore 2120 or something like this...but..yeah, its okay I can live without MacOSX on my AMD PC
But, thanks for your help guys!

search google for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 for AMD SSE2/SSE3 (32bits) to get zeph's image
sata is a problem at install, raid maybe even more.
i successfuly installed on an external usb hdd, fixed drivers and moved the
install later to internal hdd (but not sata, though).
Did you try with <b>flags</b>, like
-x (Safe Mode)
-f (Fore Mode)
-v (Diagnostic Messages)
cpus=1 (sometimes works - no idea what it is )
Try it.

Naw, it's EASY! Just build a custom installation DVD with the right .kext files to support your Southbridge Chipset!
That would be SO much easier!

Hey I have a question for I have sucessfully installed leopard on my external usb hdd but when i try to boot from it I get the blinking cursor/ How did you get yours to work on your usb hdd before you moved it? Did you use MBR or Guid? Thanks a alot.
check the wiki page http://osx86.wikidot.com ↗ > know issues> mac partition bootable
It definately doesn't work on EVERY AMD machine... But, some of us get lucky.
