carrera594 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I recently got an HP Pavilion dm4-1063cl laptop. For those you do not know it has: Processor Name Intel Core i5-430M Processor Speed 2.27 GHz RAM 4 GBGraphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon 5450 Storage Capacity 500 GB Networking Options 802.11n But I cannot get the disc to boot. It will begin to load the disc then just restart the system. I will upload a video when I can. Hangs on "Loading HFS+ File: [/system/Library/Extensions.mkext] from 4230a80" EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq7gvmdOu94 (Video) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/228641-help-install-on-hp-pavilion-dm4-1063cl/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdrk Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I recently got an HP Pavilion dm4-1063cl laptop. For those you do not know it has:Processor Name Intel Core i5-430M Processor Speed 2.27 GHz RAM 4 GBGraphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon 5450 Storage Capacity 500 GB Networking Options 802.11n I have been trying to install SnowLeoDVD.iso from a popular site . But I cannot get the disc to boot. It will begin to load the disc then just restart the system. I will upload a video when I can. Hangs on "Loading HFS+ File: [/system/Library/Extensions.mkext] from 4230a80" EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq7gvmdOu94 (Video) I watched your video. You need to pass a "busratio" parameter to the boot loader. So instead of "-v", it looks like you need to add "-v busratio=17". Busratio is determined from your processor, so I just googled "busratio i5-430" to get 17. Hope that helps! PS, I think it's unwise to discuss where you obtained a copy of SL from. Be warned!

stei Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 alright guys decided, after waiting to see if someone else would get this, to see what i could come up with by fiddling with it. I have the 1063us so same specs except my graphics card is a Intel GMA instead so if you have graphics problems i cant help you. Note, i haven't actually installed it yet; just gotten the disc to boot. when you get to the first prompt. you need to put in "-v busratio=17 cpus=1" minus the quotation marks of course. and after about 10 minutes of watching code scroll by and a few pauses where the loader doesn't recognize something you should be prompted by the "Select your language" screen. Note this will make your i5 run as if it were a single core processor. Not sure what the fix is but i will be looking into it when i get a chance in between class and school. Also if you try this and it makes your computer explode. Please don't get mad at me.
