CLock3 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hello, it seems I have installed Tiger with success. I used the mac.nub 10.4.10 version, and installed it on it's own IDE HDD, and everything seemed to have gone fine. No errors or problems. Well, when I start the machine up, I get to the screen where it'll say Starting Darwin, etc., and it'll go to the next screen where it's like all solid with an apple in the center, and then after about 1 or 2 seconds on that screen, the computer just reboots. I've tried everything and can't pinpoint what it could be. I've formatted the drive to Journaled Extended, and MBR, and I've also set it to active and put the boot flag on it using gparted. I've tried searching everywhere, but I can't seem to find any answers. If anyone has any solution or something, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton in advance for any help. Also, I've noticed people mentioning booting with -v and things like that, but when I boot, I don't seem to have any opportunity to type anything in. Thanks again for any help.

CLock3 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Okay, so I seem to have gotten it fixed a bit, but I'm still having problems. I'm in verbose mode, and it seems to get stuck on the same spot on every boot. I took a couple pics in hope that someone might recognize what is giving me the problem and possibly how to fix it. So, here's a couple pics. Thanks again in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boba899 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well, firstly that's called a Kernel Panic. In this case the kernel is having problems with two files that are common trouble makers, AppleSMBIOS.kext and AppleAPCIPlatform.kext This could be due to lots of things, perhaps your using a vanilla kexts but not a vanilla kernel etc. I'm not familiar with that DVD so I'm not sure what options it gives but I can try uploading my kexts (the ones youre having problems with) and you can replace them and see if that fixes the problem. First, try booting the DVD install, select the drive which already has Tiger installed, and see if there are any packages with the kext names mentioned here. Try installing them. IF there's more than one package that installs those kexts, read the description and only do one at a time; two AppleSMBios.kext files won't be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
