tipsy31191 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I can get to the darwin OS selector screen and after selecting Mac OS X I can get to the part where you can type stuff like -v. No matter what i do from here on out, whether i boot normally, boot using -v, or let time run out, all this text starts to scroll super fast and then the computer reboots. Anyone know what the problem is? 3.00 GHz Pentium 4 Geforce 7600 150 GB HDD 1 gb Ram trying to install 10.4.6 If it helps, i might have checked the install patches option under customize when installing? Is that for AMD users only? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43360-cant-boot-osx/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestevo Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 It might help a diagnosis if you list your motherboard. Are you booting with the DVD in or out? Have you tried any other kernel flags? (e.g. Platform or ACPI) Stephen Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43360-cant-boot-osx/#findComment-309955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestevo Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ok... try booting with the DVD in. See what happens, probably the same thing. When you said you installed the patches in customizing the installation... which patches did you install?

tipsy31191 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 My ACPI was set to S1 so i changed it to S3 and it still doesnt work On the install disk there was only one patch choice. Also, my computer is SSE3 capable. I updated all the drivers and I still have the problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43360-cant-boot-osx/#findComment-310688 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vashpan Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I have identical probllem .. but: I think your restart is random ! Just try rebooting unless you have installator. I wrote on forum, hm, 4 posts and anyone couldn't fix this problem ! Anyone. I thought that is the problem with 10.4.8 kernel... but there's 10.4.6 ( probably 10.4.4 kernel ) I have OSX 10.4.8 fully working ( at least system starting - sometimes reboots 4-5 times, sometimes works at first time ) ( the same issue with install DVD ) My specs: A64 3500+ venice core with SSE3 1 GB RAM GF 7300 GT 256MB PCI-E chipset: VIA K8T890 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43360-cant-boot-osx/#findComment-311895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestevo Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Its not a guarantee by any means, but usually your best compatibility comes with the Beta9 kernel. I would suggest getting the latest JaS release (the one with the_defiant patch and bikerdude) and try installing that. Its just good policy to keep yourself updated, if need be you can usually use old kexts on the new kernel. So... no longer having any possible solutions to suggest for you with your current setup, I would say try that.

tipsy31191 Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 do i just download a kernel and patch or do i redownload the whole .iso? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43360-cant-boot-osx/#findComment-312123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestevo Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You'll need to download a new install DVD, a whole ISO. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43360-cant-boot-osx/#findComment-312125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
