dvno00 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've been trying to install OS X (Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2) on an AMD machine: AMD Sempron 2600+ 512MB RAM Winfast K7S741M motherboard DVD/CD-RW drive configured as first boot device on IDE 1, 160GB HDD as second boot device on IDE2 Occasionally i'll boot from the DVD and get the message "/com.apple.Boot.plist not found" but most of the time it'll load. However, after a few seconds of beginning to load the kernel (any kernel - I've tried all that are AMD compatible) the system just immediately reboots. A message is very briefly displayed before reboot and, while it's bloody hard to read, it definately begins with "EFI". Either there's a solveable error with EFI or my motherboard isn't compatible. If the latter is the case then is that it? Is there really no solution to an incompatible motherboard (besides buying a new one) or will a different distro/patch have a better chance of working?

mcurran Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 BUMP! I also get the same exact scenario. There's a line that begins with EFI... and I think there might also be a line under that two, but it reboots too quick. The furthest I've gotten was with any boot parameters, was with -x, but it just went a little slower and then eventually restarted. Pretty annoying, as I successfully have vanilla only kernel on my G1Sn Notebook and it rocks - even got QE enabled. I want to setup the same multiboot system for my Sister on the house PC. I've already got Windoze on 1st partition of 1st HD and Mint in an extended partition on the 2nd HD. I've tried unhooking the 2nd HD just in case, but it didn't help. Next I'll try putting some blank space in there two, because that helped with my last PC's OS X install for some reason... Here's my configuration emachines C3060 AMD Sempron 3000+ (Barton Chip) nVidia nForce 2 chipset GeForce4 MX Integrated GPU/VGA Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Actually, I think I can see part of the problem - the selected Boot entry in darwin says the 31st HD! WHAT!

alka128 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I, too, have the exact same problem. My PC will restart when I try to run the installation, but when i try "-x" it will get further, then restart. Have you had any luck?
