kalyway Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Dear InsanelyMac members, I downloaded the KALYWAY 10.5.1 release and successfully burned it to a DVD. I try booting it, and it gives me an error on a black screen. All I remember is something about "Broadcom PXE ROM" and it also said "Operating System not found". I'm using an Acer Aspire 5920G (notebook), with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300. Using a Intel 965G Chipset, and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT. Thanks!

megavolkan Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Maybe you should try it again and give more spesific results. Is it /com.apple.Boot.plist error or have you seen the countdown asking you to press a key to install, Was it Darwin boot screen or is it before it? After reading your note carefully i think system cannot boot from any device and it is set up to boot off an ethernet client/drive and cannot boot it either. It may seem funny asking this but are you sure you set the bios option to boot from optical drive? If you did then there may be a problem with your dvd and you should burn it again.

kalyway Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Umm yes, I found a link which told me that I might have set my notebook to do some "Ethernet Boot" thing. I went to BIOS and disabled that. Now I'm getting an the same error, but now it gives me something like this: "Client MAC Address: (mac address was here) Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM. Operating System not found" And no, this is the first stage. I just booted the DVD and walla, this black screen appears.

Wangatang Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 that's an error from your motherboard. it tried to boot from the nic, since it couldn't find a bootable device Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87971-broadcom-pxe-rom-error/#findComment-630031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalyway Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 wait, so you're saying there's something wrong with my mobo? i dont think so... my laptop has always been running fine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87971-broadcom-pxe-rom-error/#findComment-630433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
michrech Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I doubt it's something wrong with your computer. It *sounds* like you copied the .iso to the DVD instead of burning the contents of the image to the DVD. If you pull up the contents of the DVD in a working computer, do you see a single .iso file? If so, you burned the disk wrong. The PXE client message you see appears when the system can't find any other bootable devices. On the Dell's I have at work, I can turn the PXE ROM off, however, if the BIOS doesn't find a bootable device, it still tries to boot from a PXE server. So much for turning it off, eh?

kalyway Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 no. if i put in the disk into my notebook WHILE using the computer, the disk turns out to be blank. so I think i have burned it properly.

MerlinVI Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 no. if i put in the disk into my notebook WHILE using the computer, the disk turns out to be blank. so I think i have burned it properly. If the disk is blank when browsing it on a working system then its not been done properly, If its a working bootable copy then when you insert it into your drive it would at least open up your browse dialogue or even try to install the o/s, Im not a mac man but i have had this problem on a notebook with broadcom pxe it is as the other comment said not a problem with your equipment but possibly that you have inadvertently turned off the cd rom so that it doesnt see it to boot from. Go into bios and the boot section to see if there is an exclamation mark against the cd rom if so then if you select it and use the hotkey(it tells you on the lhs of bios box) mine was shift F1 it will re enable it so that you can boot from the drive. However i think your problem is more than likely that the cd/dvd you burned hasnt and infact is a blank dvd. hope this helps in any way.........have fun .............A pc user lol sorry.
