The never ending reboot.

[ni7ewing]

Hey guys

 

when I try to install Snow Leopard I hit F8 during the boot sequencce to get to the setup options. When there I enter the -v and -x and hit 'enter'

 

I get a black screen with a few lines of text that go by too fast to read then the computer reboots.

 

Is it Bios settings, or a bad disk?

 

Does anybody know what that is?

 

Here's my stats:

 

MSI H55M-P31

Inter i5 Dual Core

4gig ram

Is it Bios settings, or a bad disk?

 

Probably neither. Probably you need to boot with -v cpus=1 busratio=xx

 

xx is your busratio, which you can find here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/screenshots/ibusratios.png

Oh Lord.

 

Thanks for the help, but apparently the problem was that I kept putting the dash before cpus=1

Now I get the error: System config file '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found'

try setting sata as AHCI

 

In my bios I have the settings on AHCI, however when you go further into the settings for moth my HD and DVD drive they're set to AUTO. I assume the previous setting in the 'tree' overrides the auto.
