JaS 10.4.6 install keeps rebooting

[RulinSmoove]

I have a question with an installation that I did last night.

 

I have a Sony VAIO VGN-A190, the specs are as follows:

 

1.7GHz Centrino Processor

1 Gig RAM on 2 DIMMs

17" TFT XBRITE 1900x1200

ATI Mobility Radeon 9700

and so on...

 

 

Prior to the installation I installed Acronis Disk Director Suite, installed OS Selector and created a 10Gig FAT 32 Primary partition for OS X. I installed the JaS 10.4.6 DVD w/ updages/patches and everything installed fine. Then I take the DVD out, restart and select OS X from the OS Selector, this is what happens.

 

Select OS X from OS Selector

It then goes into Darwin

Then I select OS X again

Then it starts to boot up (reminds me of a safe mode boot in windows)

Then it finishes and restarts!?!??!!

 

 

I'm guessing I'm missing a step somewhere... any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There is something wrong with your install. The patches you chose were only Intel patches? And you chose only SSE2 or SSE3, not both, depending upon the capability of your processor? Do you remember what patches you chose? (Here is a picture: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=4249 )

 

Try booting up in verbose mode. When you go to select OSX in the Darwin bootloader, type -v on the command line. Look for any visible error messages before it reboots.
