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 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.
