deadhead Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hello, I installed kalyway using the instructions found in http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83689 MBR partition and MBR bootloader. However when I boot up leopard for the first time, I see the grey screen for a sec and then some texts comes on the screen and leopard cold reboots. This goes on till I finally shut down the computer using the power button. Any ideas? The procedure i followed seam to work well for other DS3 users...

M16mKies Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Try installing once again, but without vanilla kernel. It worked to me. However, you will stuck once again probably, with "You need to restart your computer" message, as I did. Still need help with this, please help...

philminatz Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Same here, with p4c800-e and p4 prescott and fx5200. Vanilla/no vanilla makes no difference. Tried all install options with the exact same result.

mtotho Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 This is really odd. You guys have the same chipsets.. very simmiliar specs.. the only thing really different is the audo chip. How do you guys have your hardrives configured... like what are your bios settings for hardrives.. are they sata or ide.. if there sata which slots are they on.

deadhead Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 My harddrive is a 400GB EIDE ibm harddisk I read in a ASUS P5K guide that you should have the No-execute option turned on in the BIOS, but in the DS3 guide I read, it wasnt mentioned. Has anyone tried switching this option on and see the results? The link to the DS3 guide is in my first post in this thread. The link to the ASUS guide can be found here: http://lifehacker.com/348653/install-os-x-...acking-required I havent tried turning any of the optios mentioned in the ASUS guide on yet..

r00ter Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 BUMP. I have to agree. I've been on this forum for well over twenty-four hours now... I used to be very active on the OSX86 site (RIP) and used to run Tiger well, I've tried everything I could find - ran the strenuous two and a half hour Leopard install like 3 times. I've finally got it installed so that I can boot it to the darwin bootloader, I'm guessing the rest is an EFI error. Any suggestions? I don't have no execute in my BIOS, already looked.

odb Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I toggled the execute disable on and off in my bios - did NOT fix the problem for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83887-endless-reboots-with-kalyway/#findComment-599381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

analogueWay Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Same problem with iATKOS 10.5.5 on an Asus P5GDC-V Deluxe. I am wondering if my issue is related to ACHI. When I configure my SATA as AHCI in the BIOS I get a crash just after I click the "Agree" button in the installer. Configured as "Standard IDE" I can get all the way through install, but then get stuck in an endless reboot cycle right after the Darwin prompt. Anyone know whether my non-use of AHCI is related to this? Any other ideas? As an aside for those that care: Tiger ran just fine on this machine. In fact, it was so nice that I ended up buying an aluminum iMac and now a new MacBook Pro. So, there's a shout out to the OSX86 community. It got me hooked on a good thing and brought money into Apple's accounts. Thanks.
