Title: Mac Install Problem
Post by: blackvineau on March 08, 2010, 09:35:00 AM

I ahve follow the directions and used BOOTCAMP on my new mac mini to install SME,  It recognises the DVD disk and then proceed to do the install and then I get to the Blue Screen and runs through the install SME but stop because it cannot find the Device Driver and I dont; know which option to select but have nearly tried all of them. 

NOOBIE to this but want some help please.

Hi, welcome here..

I guess you are trying with SME 7, if so, I think it doesn't support such hw, then you should try with SME8

Great thanks for the help.  It work all loaded up but when it gets to RESTART system it just hangs.  If I manually reboot then it come up with a message saying Missing Operating System.  I used 8.0beta4.

mmmh.. sorry, can't help you more :-)

anyway, search google for "centos mac mini", you probably will find more info

IMHO mac mini is not a good choice for a server :-)

Have you had a read of this:

Don't forget SME Server WILL overwrite all existing partitions.
