Thinkpads Forum

Hello,

I've installed Mac OS x 1.5.4 using this iATKOS v4 DVD.

I formatted the whole hard drive using the Mac OS Extended Journal and completed the installation.

When i went to boot the computer it hanged at the spinning circle gray screen.

So i rebooted it using verbose mode (-v) and it came up with this error

Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleAHCIPort

And then it said waiting for device i believe and kept repeating that message.

I'm completely lost on what to do, any help is appreciated greatly.

My Thinkpad specs are:

15.4" widescreen (Resolution 1680 x 1050)
2GB Ram
60GB Hard Drive
128mb ATI Video Card

Thanks!

I've never had this problem, but I can tell you two things to do.
1. Try booting in safe mode (x)
2. Look at insanelymac.com forums. I believe i've seen your problem discussed in the os x installation section. Good luck!

For what it's worth..I first tried iatkos, and it wouldn't make it past the apple screen. I then used kalyway 10.5.2, and everything has been great.
