Mandeb99 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi guys, my name is Marcelo and I´m new around here. I´m trying to install iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 on my PC. The installation goes well, in the end I get a successful installation message and the system restarts. When the system restarts I see the white screen with the Mac logo in the center and after half a second it restarts again and again. I tried booting with -v-f-x but I get the same results. Any ideas why that happens??? My system: Intel Q6600, MSI P35 Neo, 4 gb ram 800 mhz, MSI gForce 9800 GT 512 mb, 320 gb SATA HDD Thanks in advance.

CNY Mike Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 See if you can boot into it from the cd. When the CD is at the boot prompt, press F8 and enter the following... mach_kernel fd=disk0s[partition #] Where [partition #] is the number of the partition That worked for me. Unfortunately, I still am unable to boot into it without the cd.

Mandeb99 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks Mike, I tried that but I got the same problem. I did some trial and error costum settings and this is what I found out. In the custom settings you have to select the ones right for your hardware. This time I changed a few of the custom options and the system doesn't restart itself anymore, but the OSX doesn't load either. It is stuck on the white loading screen. Now I think what we should do is finding the correct custom settings for the hardware. Does anyone have any idea on what should those settings be for my hard??? thanks...

verdant Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 not really... Should I try randomly try a Kernel??? thanks. If on booting with -v at the Darwin boot: prompt, your System Hangs after Boot Screen Message: "Mac framework successfully initialized Using XXXX buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers" where XXXX may be 16384, 14805, 5242 typically...... XXXX Number Explanation: 16384 is reported to indicate ≥ 4GB RAM 14805 is reported to indicate 2GB RAM The Error Cause may be: ACPIPlatform.kext and/or AppleAPIC.kext and/or IOACPIFamily.kext The Error Solution may be: Replace ACPIPlatform.kext and/or AppleAPIC.kext and/or IOACPIFamily.kext with compatible version(s); generally found in older distros...…or as an "ACPI Fix" or "ACPI-APIC Old" or similar in recent distros..... HOWEVER, if different versions of these kexts do not resolve the error, then you may need a modified-DSDT BIOS……this is because the DSDT is a part of the ACPI subsystem.
