CaptainNemo Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi, I downloaded Kalyway 10.5.1 last night and burned it - all I get when booting it on my ThinkPad T41 (Pentium M 1.6GHz SSE2-CPU) is the gray apple boot - the DVD-drive also turns off after a few minutes. Any hints? Ciao Nemi [edit] Ok - forget what I wrote before - it just took some time to load the installer. So I installed it after formating the hdd (mbr) incl. MBR-EFI from the custom install (incl. Kernel stuff above, NATIT_ati (Radeon 7500mobile), Azalia and SSE2 Kernel). After the successful (more or less ) installation I get a blinking cursor... that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwpang1 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 doesn't work on SSE2 read instructions first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNemo Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 I read it and there is "SSE2" in the instructions? "Some drivers extras setting are present (Only select one driver for each section!! ) sleep kernel 9.1 install by default ! intel sse2 system video drivers audio drivers network drivers" The SSE2-Kernel ist also inside the installation - so why should it not work?

ucan Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Are you sure EFI is supported on PentM, I thought it was for coreduo, core2duo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNemo Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hmm but SSE2 makes no sense on SSE3-CPUs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucan Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes just checked again EFI is available for coreduo and core2duo cpu's. TIsn't there an option to install without EFI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXcalibUr88 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 blinking cursor usually means that the bootloader is not loaded.. do you have partitions? make the partition with leopard active.. i got the same system specs so im praying that it will work on your system.. goodluck..

u4ia24 Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Im also curious if the EFI can be disabled in the kalyway installation.. Im using Pentium 4 SSE2 and i want to try kalyway 10.5.1.. Can anyone suggest on what way should i install Leopard? Will Kalyway work on my hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone suggest on what way should i install Leopard? Will Kalyway work on my hardware? Yeah I think if the kalyway dvd didn't have efi itself, only if it was an option to install then we could get it to work on sse2 systems.. anyone know if you can delete efi extentions or something from the image??

padfoot Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Have you did a bootloader fix after the installation? It's required for my P4. See here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
