soundandvision88 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've attempted to install iATKOS-eQuAtE many, many times now (for the sake of argument let's say 10 times). With one exception, each time it boots to a screen that reads "You need to restart your computer." On the 7th attempt(-ish), when all that was selected was the Darwin x86 bootloader and the iATKOS main files, the OS actually booted successfully. Then I screwed it up by trying to add components from the iATKOS DVD. After about 3 more times of doing the exact same thing as before (quick reformat each time), I continue to get the "You need to restart your computer" error. Any clue as to what can be going on? Some screens/more background information can be found on this thread. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=90719 Thanks in advance! -Ross Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92835-you-need-to-restart-your-computer-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Québécois Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You need to get into your harddrive that is in the /Volumes folders. If you boot from the DVD, like me, you are in the dvd path when the mac cmd open so you are not into your harddrive. try: cd / cd /Volumes Now, get into your Harddrive. rm -R System/Library/Extentions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext Voilà. For the ATI, I just doesn't know. I'm downloading a Kalyway Mac DVD, i'm tired to trying to fix my IDENEB that seem to be very bugged with my Dell Studio Laptop 1535.

wayame Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 the problem occurs everytime i start using my laptop. i have to push the power button for about 3-4 time until finally able to login and use the laptop normally until i finish using it. later when i want to use again and turn my laptop on, the same situation happens. i wonder if it has something to do with the heat of my laptop? when it still 'cold' the problem comes and later as it turn 'hotter and hotter' the problem gone.
