PearceSteven Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I am trying to install Kalyway Leopard DVD and my computer keeps rebooting so while it was loading I pressed Pause/Break and noticed that it is using EFI which I knwo from researching it that my computer isn't compatible with EFI, I am wondering how to make kalyway install without using EFI?

Gujal Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 EFI emulator does not cause reboots. What is your CPU, what Distro (Kalyway has 10.5.1 and 10.5.2) are you using? as they have to match and stuff such as NX Bit support etc etc. Post your full specs and the exact Distro DVD that you are using and then someone can help.

Gujal Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Pentium4 @2GHz is a Northwood Core meaning SSE2 only. (No SSE3 Support) Kalyway, iAtkos, brazilmac, ToH, are all SSE3 distros. Your best bet is Leo4all v3 which is supposed to work with SSE2 CPUs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/105094-turn-off-efi-on-kalyway-install/#findComment-748021 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearceSteven Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 when I boot off of Leo4All I get the same error I do when trying to boot from kalyway DVD which is a constant reboot but before it restart it says something about EFI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/105094-turn-off-efi-on-kalyway-install/#findComment-750306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
