CaJaks2 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well im really new to all this osx86 stuff so please bear with me. I have a dell inspiron 5100 with bios a32 512 mb of ram 80Gb hd and a 7500 and a 2.8 p4 northwood. I am trying to use kalyway iso but i put the disk it it boots up to darwin/x86 it goes through all of that and right when it is about to finish it restarts. What am i doing wrong? I heard people have used osx86 and the inspiron 5100. I also have a image for 10.4.7 and that does the same thing. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatnik Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 My notebook is similar to yours: I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 2.66 Ghz Pentium 4, 256 MB RAM. Kalyway didnt work for me, never enters the installation routine. My advice to you is: go to the P Bay and download the iATKOS 1.0r2 prepatched, 2.44Gb. I could install it, but now I have a little problem to solve ("Press down power button to reboot"), maybe is for the 256 of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
