KirDael Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hello dear community. My Problem is the following: I recently wanted to install Kalyway 10.5.2 on my Machine, which i already managed to install about a year ago. Unfortunately i always get a reboot when "Starting Darwin/x86" appears. I tried many possible boot flags (-v, -s, -x, -f, GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No, RestartFix=Yes, -legacy, npci=0x3000, amd, .....) but every time i get a reboot at the same point. Sometimes i see the Apple Logo Screen flashing but my machine keeps restarting. It's strange, because a year ago, i installed it without any problems.. These were my specs at the time it worked: CPU: AMD Athlon FX 64 Bit 4800+ Dual Core Mainboard: AsRock ALIVENF6G-VSTA (from 2007) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Kalyway was installed on an IDE Harddisk, SATA-Controller disabled in BIOS. Installation normally booted from DVD. Now, I have some new parts: CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9550 Quad Core GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 450 GTS Kalyway Installation booted from DVD again, with SATA-Controller disabled in BIOS. I don't know if it's because of these new parts that Kalyway/Darwin is not starting. After a little research, i went to the BIOS and tried disabling USB Legacy - not working either. Then i tried Hazard's Snow Leopard 10.6.6i and - same problem here. I also took a look at the log in verbose mode: "No DSDT found" "ACPI table not found: DSDT.aml" "ACPI table not found: SSDT.aml" "Not an Intel platform: Restart Fix not applied !!!" "Starting Darw...." - woops, Reboot. I hope some of you can spend a little time helping me with my problem. KirDael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirDael Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Problem solved, obviously i had to manually enter busratio and cpus at boot prompt, because the bootloader couldn't recognize my CPU... boot: busratio=11 cpus=4 worked perfectly.. but now i always get Kernel Panic while installation. BTW: This solution doesn't work with Kalyway 10.5.2 but with Hazard's Snow Leopard 10.6.6i will try in verbose and safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
