scrupul0us Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 For starters Im using a Dell Optiplex GX270 with the following specs: LAN: Intel 82540EM Gigabit MOUSE: MS Wheel Optical SOUND: INTEL AC97 VIDEO: INTEL 82865G Integrated CPU: INTEL P4 2.8 GHZ RAM: 1 GB I am attempting to install: KALYWAY_LEO_10.5.1intel_SSE2_SSE3 I have created the DVD and it boots... If i author no options at boot (no F8) the screen hangs for quite some time, flashes some information for a split second and then reboots If i author -v after using F8 i see all the NFS+ files load and again some message comes up for a split second and then reboots I checked the WIKI and my computer appears to be supported I DO have a crapped out version of 10.4.9 (Mac OS X 10.4.9 Intel SSE3 [JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2.iso + JaS.10.4.9.Combo.Update.Intel.SSE3.zip]) already on the drive if that helps in the diagnostic Thanks EDIT: I also tried cpus=1 -x -v -s and i still cant see the error message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorcaeL Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 @ scrupul0us Try installing Kalyway's with VANILLA kernel and ACPI fix UNCHECKED under the CUSTOM install menu. Just check the EFI MBR and proceed to the installation. I have experienced that reboot loop problem and that's what I did. Gooduck! (= @ Konner Try using another installer of Hacked Mac OS X like iATKOS by uphuck, or ToH. I experienced the same as yours on one of our desktop PCs. Goodluck!

eqspec Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I had to restore Kalyway onto a seperate partition, while running Uphuck 10.4.9, then booted off of the restored partition. I was then able to boot and install Kalyway. I had the same problem as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgtek Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Has anyone found the solution to this issue? I just installed on another Dell (now a laptop) and I receive the same error. This also happened with a Dell desktop - I jsut can't seem to figure this out - I've tried 15 different install ways, with no luck. Seems like no one ever finds the answers on the forums. Major community difference versus *nix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_diller Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hey, I may not have an answer for you, but I just wanted to warn you not to give up. It took me over 20 installs to get Leopard on an AMD X2 machine. It was well worth it, very cool. Now I am struggling to get it on my laptop, which an older Pentium 4 that is just SSE2. I guess I just dont get a break, all my computers are weird and require "special" installations! Anyways, keep searching, keep trying, keep downloading new DVD's...you will get it someday. Took me 3 weeks of messing around about an hour a day or so. I also downloaded 4 different DVD's before I landed on a winner, Kalyway 10.5.2. Think of it this way, if you can ever get the installer to load, it has to work...if your processor can understand the code on the DVD and load the system from it, it should be able to do the same from an installation on a Hard Drive. It's just all a matter of what drivers to delete or add. Every system is different, so it is very hard for some of us to help others! Just like my laptop, it is a no-name machine that nobody has ever heard of....Aopen 1849G..... good luck, keep trying! d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Ryan Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 At Darwin boot screen try this: "Grapics Mode"=x"640x480x32" And that usually fixes my issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizkarl Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi I found a solution to a reboot loop error I had with an old kaliway 10.4 disk and a newer iPC 10.5.6 disk. This error occurred on 3 different PCs; A Lenovo Idea Center k210, a new HP Elite PC (intel i7), and a new ASUS laptop. I found a website that explained all the flag options to pass to the bootup loader after pressing F8. http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/02/darwin-boot-options.html I typed this: -v -x cpus=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
