SriSri Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Don't know why, it just fails. I'm trying it again with the natit driver for my graphics card, maybe that works. Stats are: Dell Optiplex GX270 Intel P4 2.8GHz (SSE2 only) 512MB ram250GB HDD GeForce FX5200 256mb graphics Anything else just post please, I really want this to work..

datech50 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Im pretty sure thats the EFI boot loader failing to load at the end. I've had several Kalyway installs go that way and still work In those cases OS X is installed you just have to manually reinstall the bootloader Use the guide stickied and it should work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91298-getting-installation-failed-on-kalyway-1051/#findComment-651444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I retry with MBR? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91298-getting-installation-failed-on-kalyway-1051/#findComment-651483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SriSri Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yes try with MBR. Last time i used GUID i got an error .. Well I tried with GUID again, now it finishes but I get the /com.apple.Boot.plist not found. Should I just try again with MBR? Edit: Alright, well I have some time on my hands so I'm going to try MBR this go around, hopefully this works.

Skyper Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It should do.Good luck. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91298-getting-installation-failed-on-kalyway-1051/#findComment-651614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SriSri Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 It should do.Good luck. No luck. It starts to boot, flashes the grey apple logo screen, and reboots. Is it something I've done? I've installed vanilla kernel, SSE2 patch, nvinject for my nvidia geforce fx5200, and EFI_MBR. That's it. Should I give it a shot without nvinject?

Skyper Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yes i think thats the problem.Not sure.try it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/91298-getting-installation-failed-on-kalyway-1051/#findComment-651650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SriSri Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yes i think thats the problem.Not sure.try it That, and also maybe I don't need the SSE2 patch that comes on the DVD. I forgot to run CPU-Z before installing OS X, and it seems to me that the processor is a 2.8GHz with HT, and HT processors are all SSE3. Edit: Seems like there is some bad ram as well, I've run memtest86 and I'm getting huge errors on this one stick, I'm going to pull it out and give it another go.
