Massena Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi everybody! This is my first attempt on using Mac OS x on my PC. I have an Asus x50r (f5 family) laptop, with a f5r mobo, pentium dual core, 1gigs of ram and x1100 ati. I've successfully managed to install Leopard (Kalyway 10.5.1) on it, but then, when I restart the computer, when it gets to the boot thing, it always restart. I've been able to pause the verbose mode to see what's happening, and it doesn't display any error. It gets to the part that it says "starting Darwin/x86" and then reboots immediatly... If I use "tohkernel -f -v" as an option, it gets past the "starting Darwin/x86" and after awhile, the screen seems to "dissolve" and it freezes. If I use "-f" as an option, I get the apple logo with the spinning thing but then again The screen appears to "dissolve" and a darker grey background replace the light grey with apple logo and everything freezes up... Anyone can help me with this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92723-cant-boot-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrYp MyNe Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 sounds like your kernel is not working correctly. being that i don't see u have another os x operating system, go into terminal, and im lost from there, theres a way to copy the kernel over, mabey that will fix your problem. i dont know tho. that is very odd. mabey a hard disk issue??? are u using sata or ide?

Thanks for the reply.. I forgot that I had open this thread, because Few moments later I finally managed to install it and to boot it correctly. For anyone who has similar problem, I fixed this just by selecting the efi boot patch for guid (i reformated the HD in Guid) and the sound drivers. I think both vanilla kernel and ati drivers were screwing with my boot...
