chandan Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi, I tried looking for this solution but couldn't find it in the forums so far... I got a new machine running Intel Core i5 650... I have Windows 7 installed... Am trying to install Snow Leopard using the iAtkos s3 dvd but am not able to boot with this dvd... I am able to get to the point where it asks me to boot from the iAtkos dvd and then I get to the green chameleon screen but the computer restarts right after that... Also tried booting from an older iAtkos distro (v7, 10.5.7), that used to work on an older setup perfectly.. but the same problem.. boots right after i get the first install screen... i also tried booting with the verbose (-v) option, but still the same thing... get some messages onscreen and then it boots after a few second... any help..? regards, Brainstormer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashed_Airplane Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Try booting wit -v busratio=7 cpus=1 That worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandan Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks... will give it a try tonight after i get back home from work... But are you sure i need busratio=7 ? Coz i was doing some research into the topic and somewhere i read i5 650 requires busratio=24...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashed_Airplane Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have the same processor it worked with busratio=7 and it also worked with busratio=24, so try it and see wat wil work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandan Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks a ton buddy... that seemed to work and i am a step further now... booted with -v busratio=24 and cpus=1 and i could boot from the disk... got to the installation screen, did the customize, and i managed to install with "Install Successful" message... however, after the system reboots, i just get a flash of the apple logo and then the screen goes blank and the system restarts... could this be because of some of the options that i chose while install (in the customize section)...? in that case, could u tell me what options i should choose while installing...? or is there any other solution...? i am trying other permutations in the customize section as i type this... but any help would be appreciated.. my specs: cpu: intel core i5 650 mobo: DH55TC graphics card: nvidia xfx 512 mb RAM: kingston 4gb DDR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashed_Airplane Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 When you boot again type this -v busratio=24 and cpus=1, and it wil boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chandan Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 well, i tried booting with -v busratio=24 and cpus=1 but i get the same thing... get a few lines of text that scrolls for about a second and then the system restarts... i then tried booting in safe mode (with -v -x busratio=24 and cpus=1).. still no go... i got several screens with a lot of text scrolling through and then the reboot... re-installed the mac OS with slightly different options in the customize thing... but the same thing as above... doesnt leave me with too many options after this, does it...? by the way, thanks for ur time... -regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
