vampi Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 O {censored}! That's the right info, but that's one old mobo! Try searching the forum(s) for a bios update... sometimes they work... it worked for me. Otherwise i suggest trying different distributions (iDeneb, iAtkos, iPC, Leo4All and whatever else you can find...). Perhaps you can try older versions too. If you have any success, you'll have to look for an AGP driver too, later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmargera Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 cud u provide me with a link please.? im not too good at that kind of stuff. i thought my mobo might have been a abit outdated and ive tried iATKOS v1i, same problem if anthing worse lol.

No, by BIOS update i mean a hacked BIOS ROM, that you might find (that's right: use the search function) on these forums... I can't provide you with a link to the torrents (forum rules), but you can search using your favorite torrent search engine. Also look on these forums to see which distributions are popular.

djmargera Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 hmmm what exactly could i search on torrents.? Ill try but i aint too good at searching xD also would it be specific to my mobo or.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampi Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 On torrents you can find the osx86 distributions (iDeneb, iATKOS, Kalyway and others). On the forum you might find an hacked BIOS ROM for your motherboard... but i kinda doubt it, since it's so old.. but do search, who knows. But first, try the different distributions, and then search for a BIOS replacement. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmargera Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hmm i didnt know it could be something to even do with my specs. seeming its only the boot disk, and i cant even get the gui menu open. if i click enter without any coding lines i get 5 line sof coding then a reboot. if i type in -f i get about 2 mins of lines then a reboot. Maybe something to od with my disk drive ?

vampi Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sorry, can't help you out much further... Try getting as much info as possible, and search (forums and google) until you find a solution or a compromise. Also try out pcwiz's vmware image. You can run Leopard 10.5.2 in vmware. Search the torrents (and web) for that one too. http://######.com/index.php?Itemid=...t&task=view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bok11 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 hey, i just installed osx86 too and i had the reboot loop problem too.. when i installed it it didt gave me any text though, just rebooted as soon as the apple logo came up. i found the solution to be installing a older kernel. as a standart it would install 9.5 (i think it was) so i choosed 9.4 and it just worked.

PRGUY85 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I am having same problem on a HP DV1315cl. I tried vanilla kernel with a proper chipset driver and cpus=1 option and got reboot loop. I also got this without the cpus=1 option. Only way I don't get a loop is with Voodoo Kernel 9.5.0 but that lands me on a blue screen after Apple loading screen.

vampi Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 djmargera sorry, the link i gave you is for the voodoo kernel, which you can use after installation... Try different distros with alternative kernels (some of the kernels i know: toh, netkas, sleep, modbin, StageXNU, voodoo). vanilla is the default kernel, which comes with the original mac os x. it's open source, so it has been modified by osx86 hackers to work on regular pc's. the kernel is the part at the core of the operating system, and it is one of the first things to execute. the rest of the operating system relies on it. And try on VMWare too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampi Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yh im trying on Pear pc but im getting this[iO/PROM] <Error> memory->claim failed! I saw that in your previous post. PearPC might not work. These emulators/virtualization layers aren't perfect... Try VMWare or VMWare server or VMWare player (i think the latter one is free) And search for pcwiz's VMWare image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
