OzSpeedway Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi all I thought I would venture into the OSX86 world by using the Kalyway 10.5.2 distribution. I downloaded it and burnt it to a single layer 4.7Gb DVD using 4x speed. However, when I boot my machine with it, it gets about a 1/4 way down the screen loading things and then promptly reboots the machine. I was just wondering if this was a bad burn or is it that the machine isn't actually capable of running Leopard. I suspect the latter as mine is a Sempron 2800+ cpu which is neither SSE2 or 3 but I just wanted to check as my Dad has an Intel based machine that would be quite capable. I don't want to drive over to his house is the DVD is borked.... Any help appreciated.

Komano Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 its not a bad burn. its correct. its just that it might not support your machine, the kernel, nothing to do with whether your machine is capable of running leopard. i had that same problem 6 hours ago. i did a bios reset and everything works. sometimes the command tohkernel might work. check around.

wolfiebear Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Though not a professional(or even amature) geek here, I am not so sure I agree. I have a clone and it runs on whatever they installed on it. Now I am trying to do the Kalyway thing on my own drives. To date: 1) Kalyway 10.5.1 said it did a successful install, but does the dreaded hang on the Mac start-up screen. 2) Kalyway 10.5.2 install disk freezes my computer...... ...and this is on a machine that otherwise is functioning as a Mac clone. ~Inga Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117266-bad-dvd-burn-kalyway-1052/#findComment-1161607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
