chrpun Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi everyone. I'm new to the OSx86 scene. I was tying to install Leopard 10.5.1 with the Kalyway release. Darwin is coming up, I pressed F8 and put '-v' and it starts loading a lot of stuff. After ~2min it shows the following message very fast (I made a video) and reboots immedeately: EFI enhanced bootloader build: ToH Using SMBIOS table found at 0x000f5600 I searched google and this forum for an answer and found out, that the Format & Bootable Leopard HD Image might help. But it didn't Before trying Kalyway I tried iAtkos. That relaese at least came into the installation, but afterwards it didn't wanted to boot. (Cursor flashing in the lower left corner). My Hardware ist a Intel P4 processor (supporting SSE2) and a ATA/IDE HD (I was wondering if (only) ATA works anyway.) Thanks.

chrpun Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 hi mostwanted. thanks a lot for your answer. I will check your steps with iAtkos right away. but I'm still wondering why the kalyway dvd doesn't boot (well at least doesn't reaches the installation part). it restarts automatically (with the error-message from above) even before the screen changes from the grey to the white font (know what i mean?)

(boot parameter etc..) kalyway doesn't start, but the kalyway preparation disk (enjoy packet) does... strange...

frivera28 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I am having the same problem on one of my machines. I insert the DVD and it boots from it and then after a couple of minute the computer reboots and the whole process starts over. Someone has to have gone through this. Also I did not have this problem on my dell D600 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86327-problem-with-booting-kalyway-dvd/#findComment-614194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
