What are your system details......MOBO model, MOBO chipsets, CPU, etc.......freezing at buffer headers typically indicates a bad BIOS setup/BIOS...... :(

Hello all, my Kalyway 10.5.2 installation is stoppin in the same place as Shedox. I installed from the dvd without a hitch, it hangs on first boot after mac framework sucessfully initiated, using 10485 buffers,etc. Tryed changing bios settings per above post no help, in fact would not boot drive in ahci mode, I have sata controller in enhanced ide mode. I have tried all of the boot switches that I know of.eg..-v -f -s -x cpus=1,etc. My hardware is as follows:

 

Tyan s5376 dual 771 motherboard with Intel 5100 Northbridge and ICH9R Southbridge

 

2 -5410 Xeon processors(quad)

 

onboard 82573 Lan( 2port by intel)

 

8gig DDR2-667 ECC ram,

 

4- 500gig SATA-2 hard drives

 

1- 1Terabyte SATA-2 hard drive

 

1-Pioneer Blu-Ray Rom drive
