Boot from Harddrive reboot cycle

[johnbran]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a Gateway GT5012 that I have successfully installed 10.6.3 retail using EmpireEFI 1063 boot disk. I was able to upgrade directly from apple using software update all the way 10.6.7 with no problems (i am currently back at 10.6.3 while I solve this problem). EmpireEFI 1063 was the only disk that would work. I tried Empire 1080, Newcom and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] all with Kernal panics. EmpireEFI 1063 is using Chameleon V2 rc5pre7 r118. When I tried to use myhack or chameleon (i tried several versions) to boot directly from the harddrive the computer gets stuck in a reboot loop after choosing the harddrive OSx is installed to from the menu. The last message it gives before the reboot is Starting Darwin x86_64.

 

The GT5012 has an Intel D945GCZ motherboard. Attached is a screenshot from DPCI manager and the last message before reboot.

 

Any help figuring this out is appreciated.
