warwagon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've been reading up about why i'm having such a hard time installing KALYWAY 10.5.1 dvd. I've come across a lot of people having the problem where the computer reboots just before it gets to the GUI part of the install. I'm also having the same issue. Funny thing is, is that a few times it actually made it to the GUI part of the install. Though at the time I didn't have my sata drive configered as ACHPI or what ever it has to be. The 2nd time it actually made it to the GUI I but I accidentally forgot the do the MBR option during the custom install. So the install completed but it wouldn't boot. So i'd say out of 30 tries its only booted sucessfull 2 times. I've tried the -v -s -f -x also the cpus=1 This is on a P4 3.2 the motherboard is a ASUS P5N-EM HDMI LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7100/nForce 630i HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with 2 gigs of DDR2 533 ram. I'v memtested the ram for 9 passes. Ram looks good. I've also tried a USB DVD drive. First time I tried it with just the -v it booted and completed the setup (that was the time I forgot the MBR option) Upon the next install attempt using the same disc, same USB DVD drive and the same -v, the setup rebooted before making it to the GUI setup. I tell ya what. Geesh!! Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112433-kalyway-1051-text-setup-reboots-998-of-the-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwagon Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well mine goes through all the text for a few mins. Then JUST before the screen would normally change its resolution and the text would get smaller that's what it reboots. But a few times it has kept on going.

felsmann Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I had the same problem, different set up though, but I am planning on buying the MOBO you have. Anyway, I reinstalled without Vanilla With MBR and it worked!!!
