lauwe Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I am trying to install OSx86 but i can't get into the installer. when i try to boot from the dvd and hit enter after 2 seconds my screen blanks out, all keyboard-leds flash so i am guessing it reboots. the last line i can see with "-v" is: "loading hfs+ file [/system/library/extensions.kext] from 4230450" are there bios-options i should be ware of ? my hardware: -asrock 775dual-vsta (via pt880pro) -intel core 2 duo E6300 -ati radeon 9600XT Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24313-1046-jas-install-dvd-reboots/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauwe Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I tried to install in vmware (on the same pc) and it gives the following message (looks like the same problem) "*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24313-1046-jas-install-dvd-reboots/#findComment-161755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you're actually changing the value from the default of disabled to enabled, which means the BIOS is going to hide some of the hardcore flags of the Conroe CPU from the OS) Once this is done the install works great.

OzOSX86 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I've got the same problem. I first took one of my working installs from my previous Asus motherboard (P5ND2-SLI) with P4 805D which also boots flawlessy on my Dell M170 laptop and Office Dell PC. I have just upgraded my PC with a new Asus P5N32-SLI and E6600 CPU. Now all I get is instant reboot after 2 lines of the startup, exactly as the first post describes when using the USB HD install or trying to boot a fresh 10.4.7 Hotiso image I just downloaded a couple of weeks ago. So far I've tried playing with all of the available CPU options in the Asus bios(can't see any extended features flag though) and I still get the same reboot every time.... I have been searching for a week now and still no obvious answers. My setup: Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe E6600 Corsair 5400UL 7800 GTX SLI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24313-1046-jas-install-dvd-reboots/#findComment-214136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
