Aerex Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi, I have the Acer Aspire 5745G 724G50Mn and I've tried a lot of distros, tried booting with DVD and with USB, every time with the same result. I get into Chameleon or whatever bootloader there is and then the Apple logo loading screen flashes for half a second and next second the computer is rebooting. I've tried to install the latest chipset driver since that was my first guess at a solution but nothing changed. Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix it? Thanks!

dd10986 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 try using, on boot prompt "busratio=17" or busratio=18", depending on your processor. search the forum for busratio.

Aerex Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for the reply but no. Same flashing of loading screen and then reboot. I tried busratio=17, 18, 20, 12 and also safe and cpus=1 but nothing works. This is really getting frustrating, I read on here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t=#entry1555992 that a guy booted from USB and installed on an Acer Aspire 5745G 724G64Mn, that's just the 64 changed to 50 for me! What could be diffrent? Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249869-acer-aspire-5745g-724g50mn/#findComment-1647480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerex Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 I recorded the verbose on my phone and watched the video to see where it went wrong. In safe mode it loads a whole lot of {censored} before it restarts but normal just prints a few lines, something like this: Loaded HFS+ file: [system/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.... No SMBIOS replacement found Patched DMI Table Found SMBIOS System Information Table 1 Using SMBIOS UUID='20ced4aa-513c-474e-9adb-c8**a93b1f8f' as system-id Using system-type=0x01 efi_inject_get_devprop_string NULL trying stringdata No DSDT replacement found. Leaving ACPI data as is Starting Darwin x86 that's where it reboots. First line I can't see more to the right of the cam, it doesn't really end with ... Also 'Using SMBIOS UUID' line, the two * are infact 2 or 3 numbers/letters, I just can't see, there's a flash right there in the vid. Otherwise it should be correct. The same rebooting thing happens on 10 diffrent distros I've tried, though I haven't seen all verbose so I can't be 100% sure it's the same thing on all. This right now is a retail 10.4.3 on a USB flash drive, restored from a virtual hackintosh and bootloader is myHack Chameleon. If it helps anything my processor is an Intel Core i7 Q720 @ 1.6GHz. I haven't had this much problem with my other computer, Intel Pentium Dual Core @ 1.99GHz. Though that one has only unsupported hardware when it comes to an internet connection. That's why I really want this to work on this computer, I know it has supported Wireless and Ethernet hardware. Can someone figure out what's wrong from that verbose?
