Daikatana Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The Darwin bootloader modified to support EFI that is mantained by Netkas, boot_v8, causes an instant reboot on some AMD boxes (specially with Sempron and Phenom processors). Instead of using Netkas version, I compiled the original modified bootloader from David Elliot and it doesn't have that problem (although it has the FSB hardcoded @ 200MHz). I attach it with this post, but if you don't trust me just download the sources from here and compile them (you must have Xcode installed in your machine). Then, install it using startupfiletool or load it with GRUB (kernel root(X,X)/boot/boot for example). I guess maybe the issue is with Netkas's mod to detect the FSB freq, but since the modifications that Netkas made to David's code are not public, we don't know. Greetins and excuse my bad english! boot.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNoob Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 That thing doesn't work with GRUB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNoob Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Daikatana: Where are you? I need to solve a problem here! That bootloader causes a blinking underscore on my machine! And I sent so many PMs to you and you didn't even replied??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
