geoffl Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I successfully installed Kalyway 10.5.2 and when I try to boot OSX it hangs on the boot screen. I can see the apple and the spinning circle but as soon as the sound begins, the circle quits moving and nothing else happens (visually). The first time I booted, after the boot sound ended I could here a guy telling me about OSX's ability to recognize speech or something. Any ideas of why this is happening? Anyhelp would be appreciated. System info: Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 Ghz SSE3 3 GB ram 320 GB hd Intel GM965 Chipset ATI radeon hd 3470 graphics card Thanks in advance.

Poco Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 When you startup and you see the bootloader: 1)Press F8 2)Enter cpus=1 Then hit enter and it will start (or at least try) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
