skullmonkey Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I tryed iPC 10.5.5 and iAtkos7 and they same act same. As soon as I boot from CD I hit F8, type -v and then after half screen of lines my pc restarts. I installed the same iPC CD month ago and everything was fine. I haven't changed bios or stuff and don't know what is the problem. I started iDeneb distribution and its going fine but cant boot after the installation. Someone knows the problem with restarting?

vilpostus Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Try using some boot flags. Begin with -v kernel_name e.g -v voodoo or -v stageXNU This will boot the system with another kernel. Check what kernels are available on the install disk. Then try -v -f This is a verbose mode plus force load the kexts. Also try maxmem=2048 cpus=1 busratio=20 maxmem limits the amount of RAM to be used to 2Gb. It is useful them a problem with more then 4Gb RAM, appear (though may not be needed). cpus force the OS X to use only one core. Useful then system wont load with all the cores anabled.
