Dell Studio XPS 1647

[cpu2k6]

Hi there!

 

I had succsesfull installed SL on my old dekstop sys (C2duo 2.67Ghz, Asus P5W DH Deluxe, 8800GTX), but, now there is a hardware failure.

 

Anyway, i tried to install SL on my Dell Notebook (see specs below), but i cant get the installation to start. I tried with many Distris and boot discs. Its the same everywehre, the system starts, after 10 sec reboots (even in verbose mode)

 

Anyone can help me?

 

Specs:

Dell Studio XPS 1647

DualCore Intel Core i7 620M, 3066MHz (23x133)

8 GB (2sticks) DDR3 1066

hi i have the same problem (xps 1647, i5 430m), but it's not deterministic, sometimes the screen goes black, sometimes it just reboots. now i'm first trying to install it in the virtualbox (one step easier), it works, but when updating to 10.6.6, the mouse is frozen. i think this is just a matter of the right kexts...

 

for your problem: did you already try "cpus=1" at startup? Some reported that "-f" and/or "-g" helps? also, you can press the "arrow down" cursor when selecting the os and try booting single user, for instance. please report what happens (here, with single user it reboots after the language selection, but not completely installed. strange).
