Skandil Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hello, sorry if this is a repeat post but I have been searching and have found nothing as of yet! I finally managed to get a working build of OSX86 to install onto my computer (Intel P4 Prescott, 3.2Ghz, Abit Motherboard, 3 partitions on the hard drive, NO DUAL BOOTING) After a few different customizations and reinstalls I managed to get it to load up the Darwin Bootloader, and I have my options to pick the startup volume - the Mac partition is the default volume. Every time I select it, boom, the computer reboots. If I don't go into any advanced booting options, hello reboot loop trap If I boot with -v I get a black screen with a small about of text, the latter lines being: "Mac OS version: Not yet set Kernel version Darwin Kernel Version 9.4.0: Mon Jun 9 19;30:53 PDT 2008; root:xnu-1228.5.20-1/RELEASE_I386" Then it sits there! Any advice? Many thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118452-reboot-loop-with-iatkos-1054/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basti756 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Which kernel did you choose during setup? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118452-reboot-loop-with-iatkos-1054/#findComment-839905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayfarer247 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Try booting into safe mode, "-x". Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118452-reboot-loop-with-iatkos-1054/#findComment-840015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skandil Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Booting in safe mode does not help, restarts again. As for which kernel I selected, I did not choose a kernel when I booted iATKOS - however once I was in the Mac OS Installer I clicked the following customization options: iATKOS v4i Main System Darwin Bootloader Kernel 9.4.0 Darwin X86 for MBR (non-EFI) AppleSMBIOS netkas SATA NVinject 128mb Intel Pro/100ve Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118452-reboot-loop-with-iatkos-1054/#findComment-840159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurie Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 edit: you need to install the other kernels, you can also install ALL the kernels and then manually select which one to boot from at startup if you are not sure and want to test them all. rule of thumb. vanilla kernel only works with intel CPU, intel northbridge, intel southbridge. anything else (nvida, via, amd, etc) you need a different kernel.

Skandil Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ok, a reinstall using the ToH kernel has gotten me one step closer! I now get to the apple screen, then after about a minute the spinning animation freezes. Booted in safe mode, no change. Booted in verbose, freezes on: "Ethernet Address: etc." Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118452-reboot-loop-with-iatkos-1054/#findComment-840259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booted in verbose, freezes on: "Ethernet Address: etc." Ok, several months later, and you're probably not even around anymore... I know it's been said before, but have you tried the -x , -f , or -legacy modifiers? -x=safe mode (won't enable anything except bare essentials), -f=ignores startup file (?), -legacy=forces 32-bit I have a kernel panic I'm trying to figure out right now. I can't seem to isolate it... *sigh* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118452-reboot-loop-with-iatkos-1054/#findComment-928323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
