PlayingKarrde Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi all, I've gotten oh so close but still no cigar for me. I've managed to install the Kalyway 10.5.1 iso fine. However, after it finishes it reboots and if left it will go on a reboot cycle ad infinitum. If I press a button to input options and select the MacOSX drive, same thing. Just loads what it has to load and then reboots. I've tried with an all manner of options (-v, -f, -s, cpus=1 etc) all do the same thing: reboot. Now I'm wondering if it is something to do with the MBR/GUID. The first install I did I chose GUID EFIloader and, well I ended up with a b0 error. I tried again with MBR and here I am. Now, the problem comes though that when I go into Disk Util in order to erase the partition and get it ready for OSX I dont have any options for selecting whether its MBR or GUID. This seems odd since all the Kaly guides I've been following have referenced this. Could this be my problem and if so how would I go about fixing such an issue? All help is welcome. Quick specs: Intel C2D 2.4 2 gig ram NVidia 8800 GTS 640mb Nvidia P5NE-SLI mobo Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megnus Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I have the same problem, but mine boots fine IF I type this: -v -f -x cpus=1 When it loads, I continously tappes the "j" button. If I do not press any button continously while booting, It restarts before it loads the OS. Hope it will help a bit =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koven Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Have you tried putting boot flag on your OS X partition? You can use gparted livecd change the active partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayingKarrde Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Unfortunately -v -f -x cpus=1 doesnt help either: same problem. My osx partition is already set to active also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayingKarrde Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I tried booting this drive from within VMWare and at the point where it usually reboots I get a: *** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) *** I had this problem when iATKOS refused to get to the installer and just kept rebooting also. Could it be something to do with BIOS settings perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassam Ahmad Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 the "*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***" message is because VMWare uses SSE2 processor virtualizer, even if ur host processor is SSE3 thats the problem, if u have a SSE2 Patch for leopard, patch it and it will work!

PlayingKarrde Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Interesting. I wish I could do that on my laptop but unfortunately it crashes with that error even before I can install. However, I managed to fix my desktop. I reinstalled and this time I didn't select the vanilla kernels. I'm hoping this doesn't have any repercussions but I'm now running Leopard and I'm thrilled! Now if I could only get network and audio I'd be set. Ive been trying for a year and a half for this. You have no idea how good it feels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
