sraisaac Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 So I had many a problem a few days ago installing via a sata dvd and I went out and bought a usb DVD burner to get this installation going and this is where I am now. I'm still new to the OSx86 stuff and i'm learning as I go, reading as much about this process as I can. Now that I've got the installation going i'm running into a snag after the installation, it gets to the darwin booter and it just reboots. My educated guess here is that I shouldn't have installed one of the kernels. I had read that I needed to install them all on a 10.5.2 guide here on these forums. As well I followed it by not installing network or wifi or sound drivers. What should I and shouldn't I be installing in the beginning? Most of the guides i've found pertain to Intel systems. I haven't found a decent one for amd. Any help is greatly appreciated.

RSN Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 When booting again, hit F8 key and then under boot: -v then return/enter This will show you where in the booting process you are stuck or panic.

sraisaac Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 yea I has already tried that. After typing -v and hitting enter the darwin loader starts flashes a few lines of code and reboots. Thats the main problem, can't see is going on. I'm pretty sure its the Vanilla Kernel. I'm reinstalling now without it. I read that if that is checked at installation and you don't have an Intel system then this whole problem does occur.

sraisaac Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 That wasn't the problem, it was the vanilla kernel, just reinstalled but now i'm getting hung up further down the line here on the boot after install. I'm having no trouble at all installing, its just a matter of getting it to boot correctly after its done. I'm going to take a snapshot of it and post it so you all can see what i'm seeing. Here's a snapshot of where i'm stuck, and this is even after typing -v cpus=1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208681-hanging-after-installation-need-a-little-help/#findComment-1394044 Share on other sites More sharing options...
