Hi,

I have a dell poweredge 840 and running win server. I can not afford a new mac server at the moment, and would like to install "mac" server, if its possible. Is there any chance that I can get i to work with the specs? I did try to install ML from USB, but got various errors. Cant waith for a reply

By the info you posted, I guess it's possible.

Which errors did you get?

wow. That was quick response!

Well... se attached picture. I did a default (-v) boot.

I've never seen something like that. At which point does it happen? Did you check the md5 of downloaded file?

I guess it's a video problem, this 1002:515e is on-board video, right? Maybe if you use an off-board video card.

And after that I did CraphicsEnabler=no wait=yes -v

and got...

The solution for this is in the guide viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1627


Use TransMac, more info in the link above.

md5 = checked

Yes, its a on-board video. If I need a ned video card to get the server version going, im going to purches one. Any "cheap" recomendations?

Your support is much appreciated!

See my previous reply.

You rock!! -That did work! Now two other problems... the mouse is not working (pluged in the PS2 port), and the second problem. No disk(s) is showing when I get to the screen "select the disk..."

Any sugestion for a fix?

The installer includes PS/2 kexts, so if it doesn't work I suggest using USB mouse.

Can you see the HD in Disk Utility? If not, configure SATA as AHCI in BIOS.
