svas Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi, am trying to work up ideneb v1.6 for more than week now but i am unable to get it working, it doesn't boot into the actual os not even the beginning intro... it keeps on rebooting. Forgot to mention that it installs without a hiccup but I don't know why it isnt working;? First I was trying on SATA HDD but I read some where that there are some issue with SATA so, I even installed an IDE drive just for Mac but all in vain.( Machine details are, Processor: P4 540 3.2Ghz (HT disabled) Motherboard: Intel D945GCZ Board Chipset: Intel i945G/GZ RAM: 1GB DDR2 Graphics: Intel 82945G Express Chipset Family HDD: Samsung IDE 20GB Audio: Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller Network: Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection Optical Drive: CD/DVD-RW tried all -x-v-f-s cpu=1 tried with ACPI to S1 as well, Install with default ideneb options too, like with out installing extra kernels etc... If ideneb 1.6 doesn't work these specs so can you please recommend me some other OSX86 Leopard Installation? Thanks.

svas Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 ;D I know this is a common issue, done a bit research before posting... You see there are quite a lot causes which can cause this, so I 've posted my specs for easier diagnostics, I am not much an expert that's why... Plus I would really appreciate if you could help me with the kernels which ones should I choose. Thanks.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Sorry, it's just that many people who post here seem to be completely unaware that they can search for information and find what they need faster than sitting around waiting for someone to reply. Which kernels are available to you? iDeneb 1.6 is what, 10.6.3? The best kernel to install (for now) is probably the same one that the ideneb 1.6 DVD boots with, it is obviously working since you can complete the install. Boot the DVD in verbose mode with -v, maybe you can see which kernel it's using. For the same reason though, I don't think the problem is with the kernel.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If it's 10.5.8 then you should use Qoopz' 9.8.0 Voodoo-based kernel. Voodoo kernel manual, downloads and other Voodoo kernel info here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=209192 Check your BIOS settings: http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/03/bios-...hackintosh.html Try some boot flags: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99891 Keep in mind that you can not use an unpatched, original Apple kernel on a Pentium 4 CPU. If your Pentium 4 is new enough to have SSE3 instructions (and preferably EM64T, which the 500 series (yours) doesn't have AFAIK) it's apparently possible to patch out the CPU checks of the Apple kernel and use it as is...don't ask me how though: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1392 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&p=843358 Here's a patched version of Chameleon that lets you use the vanilla kernel on a Pentium 4/Pentium D CPU: http://osx86.co/f36/new-modify-chameleon-b...l-cpu-to-t6737/ Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/266959-post-install-booting-issues/#findComment-1743156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
