IllusionCrisis Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 So I downloaded and burned the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD, and put it in my disc drive, restarted. I waited for the prompt that says to press any key to continue. I do so and see some of the usual scrolling text that I'd expect to find, then my computer restarts to BIOS... I tried different things like "-v" and "-s" (I don't know much more than that). Any help is much appreciated.

Brooks777 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Mine does that too. It does it only 20% of the time so keep trying. Mine boots into Leopard 30% of the time Restarts 20% of the time Says that I'm going back in time 50% of the time. ...

inimicus Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 -v is verbose output. AKA write everything that is happening to the screen. If you see text on the screen without entering any options, Kalyway's disc has enabled verbose output by default. Now. Try these options, one at a time: -f -x cpus=1 -legacy platform=X86PC See if any of those change anything. And post back the last few lines before it reboots if none of those help. Tip: Using a video camera or the video mode on a digital camera can help here.

IllusionCrisis Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 ok well I tried all those commands and the text was going too fast for me to look at it long enough before it restarted, but if it helps, it went through texts for about 5 or 10 minutes on the -f and -x commands ... the -legacy and other commands just did the same things as running the disc with no commands... and I know the -v means verbose. I'm familiar with Linux haha.

IllusionCrisis Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have no video camera/ digital camera to do that with...

Adam_4049 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yeah I get this same problem. The last few lines just before it restarts says... EFI enhance bootloader build: ToH Use SMBIOS table found at 0x000f0430 Using ACPI RSDP revision 0 found at feba0. This is literlly after about 8 lines of the computer saying that it is loading the hfs darwin bootloader or something along this lines. Does 8 lines and then those 3 lines and then it restarts and does th Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/125087-computer-restarts-when-loading-the-kalyway-disc/#findComment-899786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_4049 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 This is a screen shot of the process from start to finish, all in less than 15 lines... Not sure if this is the same problem your having IllusionCrisis but sounds similar...
