jasballz Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 posted here first: http://uphuck.ggrn.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3474 So I took the leap and formatted my harddrive using my iATKOS 5i DVD install disk and now it boots into iATKOS w/o the DVD in it, but it keeps on saying 'restart the comp'. Please help? Acer Aspire 4720z, Hitachi harddrive, i386, Intel Dual Core Cpu runs at 1.73 I've got it running Ubuntu right now only. Successful install but keeps telling me to reboot when I remove the DVD and boot from the pc. Any suggestions?

megaprimal Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It sounds like what is commonly referred to as Kernel Panic. When you reboot you should see a screen telling you to press a key to enter boot options (something to that effect). From that screen you can type (no quotes) '-x' for safe mode, which essentially boots with less .kext files (drivers) in order to troubleshoot problems. You can also type '-v' at that screen and it will scroll through the lines on your screen for each action that is started while booting. This will show you what process the system is freezing up on as it boots. You can also use '-x -v' to help narrow down problems sometimes. Reply back with your system specs, what install options were selected, and what line the system is freezing on and you may get some feedback.
