55318008 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I tried installing iTAKOS v7 last night, got to the Apple logo, and then I got a kernel panic (something about ACPI?). Today, I tried installing Kalaway 10.5.2, and I go to boot the DVD, it loads a few files, then resets the computer, then happens all over again. Can anyone recommend anything? Im open for anything right now, preferably something using iTAKOS or Kalaway since I already have them downloaded, but if all else fails, Im willing to download something else. How would I go about installing either of them? My specs are in my signature. Someone please help?

Also, providing info about your motherboard would be nice because we need that before we can give you any specialized support.

PJ_Mac Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I can't seem to get it to boot at all. I still get non-system disk or disk error when trying to boot from my flash drive.

U J Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I can't seem to get it to boot at all. I still get non-system disk or disk error when trying to boot from my flash drive. I'm using iAtkos v7 and i follow all instructions correctly, it just doesn't work. Ok your motherboard seems to be from another planet ...anyway..iatkos v7 is a very good distro but it gave me a lot of problems. However i was able to successfully install leopard using iDeneb 10.5.8 lite edition. First i suggest you try iatkos and if that doesnt work , move on to iDeneb. I never tried Kalyway so cant help u there.. Moving on...try to do these steps and see if it works or not Go to ur motherboard bios and set these options Disable bit: ENABLED XD: ENABLED CPUMAXLIMIT: DISABLED virtualization: DISABLED or ENABLED, try it. Hyperthreading: DISABLED or ENABLED (Just I7 processors can try enabled.) On the power options: HPET: ENABLED (if avaliable). ACPI 2.0: ENABLED the above steps are necessary for any distro iatkos or kalyway. and then put your dvd(i advice u to start with iatkos first) and hit F8 when u see a timer try the following flags in order, one of them should work -v (this is verbose mode, will help u figure out whats going on) mach_970 -v (best kernel and i am assuming it wont work for some types of amd processors) toh -v (works for most hardware) -v cpus=1 -v platform=ACPI (can u try this first !) -v cpus=1 platform=ACPI -v cpus=1 busratio=20 try all of the above one by one and see which one works... if the above wont work , try them with kalyway and then try ideneb.. one of them should work... and again i dont like the sound of ur motherboard's name..i feel its incompatible but ...hey, it doesnt hurt to try... rite All the best Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210607-noobie-installation-questionsplease-help/#findComment-1412465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
