georgegeorge Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 After I installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3, bootloader keeps restarting my computer after I click the hard drive with the Apple icon where the OS is installed. Could my 12 GB of RAM be the issue? I hear Snow Leopard will restart if there are more than 4 GB of RAM. Do I put the command line within the boot.plist file from notepad to load only 4 gigs? This is my com.apple.Boot.plist file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>i386 -v maxmem=4096</string> <string>rd=disk0s2</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>No</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> </dict> </plist> Even though the screen resolution does change with "1280x1024x32", when I add maxmem=4096, the bootloader still shows "12279MB memory". Why is that? BTW, is the boot flag supposed to be cpu=1 or cpus=1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
