Cerberus108 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hello everyone, I'm wondering if someone is going to help me... I'm trying to install Leopard on my PC, through Kalyway 10.5.2, but when I try to boot up the DVD, whether in verbose mode or not It gives me this output: Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 2048MB memory VESA v2.0 12MB Loading Darwin/x86 Loading kernel mach_kernel Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 422d690. Loading HFS+ file: [mach_kernel] from 422d690. LoadDrivers: Loading from [/System/Library/Extensions/mkext] Loading HFS+ file: [/System/Library/Extensions/mkext] from 422d690. then it reboots, without saying anything. The code lines above was taken by the same Kalyway made run on Virtualbox (so the actual VESA string is a little different) because I haven't got at the moment any camera or similiar.. (oh, btw, my PC configuration is in my signature) I've also tried to boot up with "cpus=1 -legacy -f -v" flags, but the result was the same. I'm just hoping I won't have to download another DVD image (it took me a looong time to download Kalyway) an to waste another DVD... Please, help me find the solution to my problem! Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115046-kalyway-does-not-boot-on-amd-platform/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 For the hundred time, Kalyway is made for x86 Intel CPU. Ok, the only one works with AMD based CPU is Zephyroth Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115046-kalyway-does-not-boot-on-amd-platform/#findComment-814779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacklewoof Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Kalaway works fine on AMD. Leo4all is my favorite AMD install though. Highly reccomend it. Unfortunately, LEO4ALL also reboots immediately. The problem is the EFI that is included with both. PC_EFI does not like 1>Phenoms or 2>Your BIOS's ACPI implementation. (I dont know what it is, but it is one of the two) You have very limited options: 1> Convince someone to make a LEO4ALL install with Chameleon EFI installed instead of PC_EFI. (Maybe someone already did this, I dont know) 2> Try an older AMD proc and see if it will let you install. If it works, just install OS/X with the old proc, install chameleon EFI, put your phenom back in and go for it. 3> (This is what i did for phenom 9500) You need to install LEO4ALL on an external HD (guid partition only) on a machine that will boot PC_EFI (older AMD or many intel procs), install chameleon EFI, take it to your phenom machine, reboot, selecting the external HD as the bootable drive, and you should be good.

Krazubu Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Instant reboot means : - Kernel incompatible with the CPU - Wrong CPU settings in the BIOS (NX and CPUID) - Incompatilibity between bootloader and kernel (very rare) ONLY Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115046-kalyway-does-not-boot-on-amd-platform/#findComment-815036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacklewoof Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 or wrong EFI. Not trying to disrespect Kraz, but I just solved this issue on my Phenom machine using solution #3. Only thing I changed was the EFI. I've heard the kernel thing before, but at least in my case, it made no diff at all what kernel I used. The EFI was the only thing that mattered.

Cerberus108 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 thank you very much for the answers! so, I should install leo4all on another machine, edit the EFI version then move the HDD into my machine? the only problem is that my old pc seems to have the AGP port broken, so since I haven't any PCI VGA it is unusable. nor I have an older processor, since my pc is brand new, and I won't buy another processor less powerful... do you know any hackintosh image which works with my pc? an edited leo4all, maybe...? thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115046-kalyway-does-not-boot-on-amd-platform/#findComment-815457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
