Gregory1 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi. I'm new to OSx86 and was wondering why on any DVD of OSx86 I boot, It restarts right after it loads all the kexts. There is something at the bottom before it reboots, its too short to be a kext loading. Any ideas? Computer Specs: Compaq Persario SR1020NX 1.5 GB Ram 80 GB HD Nvidia Geforce 5200 FX Graphics card If you need me to post more specs, tell me and i will. Thanks.

Gregory1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 So far i've tried Kalyway 10.5.1, Leo4All 10.5.2, My Own Brazil Mac 10.5.0, and iATKOSi r2 10.5.1. I am currently downloading ToH SSE2 SSE3 Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 All Right, finished downloading ToH and it burned successfully, now when i boot i get stuck at: "MAC Framework successfully initialized using 7864 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers " Any help appreciated. PS I previously had tiger 10.4.1 on it using -v -x. i tried -v -x and it still sits at MAC Framework successfully initialized using 7864 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 All Right, ToH doesn't work. Moving on to iATKOS v2.0i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 YES I GOT IT TO WORK. I Used ToH Mac OS X Leopard X86 RC2 with JaS 10.4.9 ACPI Platform stuff. Followed this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...78235&st=20 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 So, it installed successfully and I rebooted. Mac didn't boot. It froze at the bios after "Verifying DMI Pool Data". Booted back off the DVD and it said there are 30,760 folders and 142,216 files. Any help. PS: I installed everything X11, Languages, etc. on the second try and it still froze at Verifying DMI Pool Data. So as of now everything is installed. But doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 Another step :rolleyes: . Now I get to the Darwin/x86 bootloader and type in "cpus=1 -v -f" and it automatically reboots. I can see briefly that it says " Syncing Disks... Killing all Processes Rebooting " HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Been reding topic after topic and have seem to found another step.

Gregory1 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Now that I have it working, I noticed Time Machine doesn't work. Any ideas. Got System Profiler to work. I Tried modified IONetworkingFamily.kext discussed here: http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?...p;sk=t&sd=a to try and get Time Machine to work, all i got was lots of errors. Got System Profiler to work using: http://wiki.neonkoala.co.uk/index.php?title=System_Fixes . DVD/CD Drives don't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory1 Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Got every thing working, :D :D . I forgot about Time Machine, because I will never use it. Solved the disk drive problem by using a external USB drive. YES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluminum Sponge Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 So what did you do exactly to fix the "flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5"?? I'm getting that problem. What is your make and model of your 80 GB HDD?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
