Conroe Mac Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 After about five leopard efi installs, I still haven't been able to get one to boot correctly. I have been thinking the problem is the way the motherboard is set up, but now I am thinking the problem is actually my processor which is a pentium D. Anyone out there running a Pentium D with the vanilla kernel and EFI emulation? I was able to boot my efi installation, but only by booting darwin from the install disc. Booting darwin from the hard drive results in a hard restart after selecting the partition to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Vanilla was a no go for me, I've the same D 805. See this post for my Kalyway install http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=546238 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eragon Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 It has to be a Core 2 Duo CPU to use EFI, that's why it wont boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Erm.. lets get this straight.. pc-efi (often mistakenly called "EFI") works with all intel & clearly some AMD cpus. Using the "vanilla" (plain Apple unmodified) kernel requires at least a core-series cpu, probably a core2 for all practical purposes. *As well as* the pc-efi bootloader. GUID partitions can be used with pc-efi regardless of kernel choice, MBR partitions can be used with pc-efi or standard darwin bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
