waffleEater Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi, I installed OS X, and when i go to select OS X in the boot menu, it says Darwin boot-loader and then un-expectedly reboots the system. I tried booting with '-v' but it still reboots. What is the problem and how to fix it thanks. p4 machine. asus mobo sata dvd drive Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waffleEater Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 hi, system - HP media center (some 3-4 year model) cpu- Intel P4 2.8Ghz Chipset- Northbridge Intel i915P graphics controller hub Video - Radeon x300 HDD - SATA 150 (160GB) DVD - LG (SATA) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...01&lang=enI downloaded the Kalyway 10.5.1 install DVD. I Choose - Vanilla Kernel and the other thing , I think vanilla ACPI support(?) - SSE 2 instructions - Did not choose video drivers - Did not choose audio drivers - Boot EFI = the MBR one it installs, when it comes to boot-menu I select Leo, it flashes some test and restarts. again, i pressed F8 at bootmenu, entered -v and it restarts without any diagnostics. OK, the odd thing is I connected this HDD to a computer where I know OSX works (I am typing from it right now) and it boots fine. Does it mean OSX wont run on my HP?

westwaerts Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 i am not sure, if the vanilla kernel runs on sse2 or look in your systemfolder ( with hidden objects visible) if the tohkernel was installed. if, try to type tohkernel at boot. if not run the install without vanilla again, installs the tohkernel and cross fingers at reboot.

Korrupted Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 That's your problem. Vanilla kernel requires SSSE3(not SSE3, there's a difference), and Pentium 4 doesn't support it. You'll have to reinstall, or find a way to fix your kernel problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
