hi there, 

when attempting install 10.10 to my old PC, it reboots everytime when attached pic shows up. my hardware is:

mb - unika p35 (with ich9) 775pin

cpu - intel xeon x3210

video card - nv geforce 8600gt

 

could anybody know what was wrong? or is it possibly because of the video card, or the powermanagement?

 

thank you so much for help!

The line before the last one indicates that your installer has NullCPUPowerManagement in place so that isn't the cause. I suggest trying it with a different graphics card if you have one on hand. If you don't than try booting with -x and if it still won't boot remove the Nvidia related kexts from /S/L/E (and rebuild the the cache on your installer drive) and then it should boot with basic graphics and you can try fixing the GPU issue after the installation.

sit rep: finally come up to the installing screen with boot arg "nv_disable=1". Now i am facing another serious issue which has encountered before -- e.g. the installation doesn't recognize IDE mode HDD (the MB supports ICH9 controller -- which is not in the original kext).

 

have tried ATAinjector, and patched the ICH9 with device ID, doesn't work so far... will keep on watching
