nuzzy Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi all, New here. I've serched the forums, but am having trouble finding an answer to my issue. I installed Kalyway 10.5.5 on my Dell Latitude D810. I selected custom options and the install completed. My issue is that I get to the Leopard startup Apple and it sits there thinking and reboots. This process is a continual loop. Does anyone know why this is happening of can maybe suggest what I need to do right? My specs are: ATI Radeon X600 Broadcom 570X - wired Intel 220 - wireless Sigmatel STAC 975X AC97 I look forward to your replies Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/184325-dell-latitude-d810-stuck-in-reboot-loop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I may just reconsider putting it on the D810 based on your info.
