korngold Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hey everyone! I have a pretty solid install of Kalyway's 10.5.1 on my Gigabyte 965P-DS3 (rev2) board. I am using 6gb of GSkill 800mhz RAM and have F12 BIOS. For the most part, the install works pretty well, however, when I'm trying to make a disc image or burn a disc from iDVD, it ALMOST finishes, then black screens with that annoying message to reboot about 2 minutes before completion...EVERY time. It does it on a few other things, but iDVD is the main reason I installed OS X. Is it possible that I have too much RAM installed, or some other hardware issue? iMovie had no problems downloading my videos from my camera, editing, etc. I've tried both iLife 2006 and iLife 08, and it does the same thing in both versions of iDVD... Thank you in advance for the troubleshooting help!

korngold Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 This is a self-update, just in case anyone else encounters this issue. I tried reinstalling with the Vanilla kernel and got the same errors. However, when I use Vanilla, my on-board LAN isn't recognized. So, back to the non-vanilla install I went. On a whim, I removed 3 of the 4 memory modules. Low and behold, I was able to create a DVD image using iDVD! So, I'm going to try a few variations of memory configuration to see if it is a dual-channel memory compatibility problem or if it's a 2GB plus issue. For the test above, I left in 1 stick of 2GB DDR 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
