denada Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am installing Kalyway 10.5.1 on two different machines. In both cases, the install reaches the end (Success!) but the machine fails to reboot. Machine #1: Asus P5K-VM, SATA1 WD500G, SATA2 Lite-On DVD, SATA3 WD 500G (Windows), PCI-E MSI8800GTS, PCI Rosewill Gigabit Machine #2: Asrock Conroe945-DVI, SATA1 WD 250G (Windows), SATA2 WD 500G, IDE Lite-On DVD, PCI-E MSI8800GTS, PCI Rosewill 1394 In both installs I follow the same procedure: 1. default BIOS settings 2. install Windows first - all components work fine 3. install Kalyway 10.5.1 4. format drive as Mac OS Journaled (tried both MBR and GUID) 5. custom install (Vanilla, ACPI_fix, BOOT_efi_mbr or guid as appropriate) 6. after lengthy install, machine reports success 7. reboot fails Any ideas?

guardian_10 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Did you select any extra drivers for audio, graphics etc under custom install? If so, try not selecting any driver and see if it helps. Alternatively, boot with -v option and post what error you are getting.

denada Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I did not select any audio or graphics drivers. Good news, Machine #1 is now installed. I disconnected the Windows drive. Last time I attempted to install Mac OS X, my Windows partition became unbootable. My plan was to disconnect the Windows drive to prevent that from happening again, but instead, it appears that the install worked properly. Machine #2 is still not working. I've tried -v but the messages go by too quickly to read and then the screen goes blank and it reboots. Maybe I will video or photo the screen to see if I can read a screen shot.
