iATKOS v7 10.5.7 installation on Dell Poweredge SC440 goes into reboot loop

[b08a]

Hey everyone,

 

I am trying to install iATKOS v7 10.5.7 on a Dell PowerEdge SC440. No matter what customization options I try the box goes into a reboot loop after the install.

Installation seems to be successful as I get the screen with the big green check mark.

 

I have tried the vanilla kernel and two other Voodoo kernels as well as all three boot loaders

available from the customization screen.

 

The only non-standard part that I have in the machine is a Sound Blaster card.

 

I have tried to boot with -x, -v, -f, cpus=1,-legacy and different combinations of these options, but

every time it would just reboot trying to load kernel.

I do not get a panic message or anything.

 

The CPU in this machine is:

 

processor : 0

vendor_id : GenuineIntel

cpu family : 15

model : 6

model name : Intel® Pentium® D CPU 3.00GHz

stepping : 5

cpu MHz : 2400.000

cache size : 2048 KB

 

I have changed the BIOS option and it to single CPU core, I also have "Limit CPUID" disabled and "enable eXecution" enabled. (I have tried with "Limit CPUID" enabled and eXecution disabled with the same result - reboot loop).

 

I am attaching the output of 'lspci -v' output and install.log (named install_log.txt) from the last

installation attempt to this message.

 

If anybody know what else I can try, I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

I have the same spec machine and documented how to get 10.5.7 reatil running here:

I should clarify that I do have a 8600Gt GFX in a hacked PCIex4 slot and a gigE card in the PCIex1 slot but otherwise I got 10.5.7 running well. I have since upgraded to a Q6600 CPU and now runs even better.
