Crowlkss Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 YOU CAN IGNORE THIS FIRST POST, im leaving it in case others may have the same issue. Alright, so ive installed iDeneb 10.5.5 on my dell inspiron laptop before and now ive decided to put it on my desktop. First time i tried, the install disk wouldnt recognize my SATA hard drive (500 GB). I then took out the SATA and put in the IDE one (15 GB). The installation worked fine. When i tried booting into the newly installed OS (with only the IDE drive inside) i was prompted to install a master drive. Heres where the confusion sets in. I put in my SATA hard drive (alongside the IDE one) and set the IDE to be a Master drive using the jumpers. I turn on the pc, and it boots to the screen where i can choose to boot in verbose mode or not. I dont (even if i do it doesnt make a difference) and go on. I get a black screen for 2 seconds and the pc restarts creating an unending cycle of restarts. So now i come here, hopefully you tech wizards will know what to do. Ask as many questions as needed, il answer to the best of my abilities. (i think i have an nForce graphics card, if that makes a difference. Im actually not sure, whenever i look inside my pc i see no apparent graphics card, but i was told in another thread i made i have an nforce one and that i should use an IDE drive) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/176553-keeps-restarting-after-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowlkss Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 So i purchased a new 230 GB IDE hard drive and a nVidia GeForce 7200 graphics card and installed them. My PC still restarts every time i try to do the first reboot into the newly installed OS. I did it using the -v command and took a pic of the results (sorry for the glare): http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/N.../verbosepic.jpg (this is right before it restarts) After reading around i discovered i most likely selected the wrong kexts in the customize section of the install. Here are my specs. Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ Motherboard: Asus M2N-VM DVI Chipset: nVidia nForce 560 Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 7200 Any idea what kexts i should select? On the previous installs ive done ive always selected: -AMD patch -AppleNForceATA -NVinject 0.2.1 256MB -Kext Helper These obviously havent worked. Should i try a more recent OSX86 version? iATKOS v7 maybe? I have iDeneb 10.5.5. I dont know if threads like this are looked down upon, sorry if they are, and thanks if anyone helps.
