Ashgotti Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good stuff, but won't even boot to the install. Get's stuck at the PHY line. T42: 1.7M SSE2, 1.5GB ram, 60GB 7200RPM, etc etc. EDIT: I let it sit there for 10-15 min and it booted into the install screen. Note, you have to move hte mouse around during install or it will sleep. Will report back with post-installation. EDIT2: 1st install resulted in a it freezing after the cluster message 2nd install resulted in a kernel panic. I'm not sure which kernel setup I'm suppose to use with SSE2 so it's trial and error..just takes forever. EDIT3: Got it to install and boot but I had to keep moving the mouse. Takes about 5-10 minutes to start up but I found a fix which I have to try. First, I have to get the WiFi Working on my atheros chip. EDIT4: Went back to Kalyway's 10.5.1 and got the WiFi working.

aceboy222 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ok, I need some help. First of all, when I tried dual-booting onto it, the installer wiped my other partition, but that's ok, because I backed it up. Now, I just finished installing this about 20 minutes ago, and it is still booting. It's been booting for a long time. The boot screen looks pretty normal and everything. Is the first boot supposed to be like this, or do you think there is an error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 help... I've installed this on a dell 530 with core 2 quad 2.4ghz...4gig ram..and nvidia gfx card.. all works fine...except for.. cannot get onboard network card to work...I believe it is an intel network card... I guess I can buy a PCI one..can people recommend a brand that does work ? also..USB..seems to work and also not work..for smaller memory stick..say 512mb..this works like a charm.. as soon as i plug in a larger one..say external hdd for eg...doens't pick it up unless i reboot with it plugged in.. bit of a pain.. is there a work around this USB problem ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taktu Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i'd like to thank kaly for a no-hassle crash-free install. everything except the builtin NIC works perfectly after-install (i'll look into that issue later). i loaded it with stuff i use regularly on my mac (adobe cs2 using rosetta among others) and it hasn't crashed once during its first week! you're my hero!

I guess I can buy a PCI one..can people recommend a brand that does work ? also..US I was looking at getting that same machine. There are a couple threads on this forum about it. The on-board ethernet doesn't work and there are no drivers for it. So you'll definitely need to get a PCI ethernet card. Quick Q about your system--does sleep/shutdown/restart all work fine? Sorry I don't have any advice regarding the USB drive issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 actually sleep/shut down/restart doesn't work with the vanilla kernel... I'm going to play around with different kernels and settings to see what works best.. 4 cores work...gfx works...nvidia 128meg 4gig of ram is picked up also.. xbench results over 200 i'm yet to test out all the usual software. The USB not functioning properly is very annoying though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeo Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 reinstalled with kabyl kernel..usb seems to work fine now... still no sleep/shutdown or restart...but i can live with that... update-- found an old 'digital' network card...it works...but only picked up as 10base...better than nothing for now ok...actually...restart works...just can't shut down...

Artmuzz Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hi, I'm wonder whether u guys can help me out anot? I'm new in this things, but I got myself a Kalyway Leopard. Done all the partitionings etc, but when I boot it into my computer, the process stopped at the line ToH:xnu-1228/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 or something like tat. I waited for few hrs for it to progress, but it just hang there. I tried typing -v, -s at the darwin loader, but it's still the same. Weirdly, when I used the VMWare out of desperation, it is able to run until there is a gray screen loaded on it (with a blue cursor) and then hang there as well. any reason that vmware manage to put the installation thus far, and why is tat I cant progress with it as well? Based on the many readings I have done, I should be anticipating the language selection screen.. I'm using Toshiba Satellite A80, with Intel proc SSE2. 768MB Ram, 10GB partition for mac. Thanks I have this exact same problem aswell on my HP Pavilion ZE2251ea intel centrino 1.6ghz 512mb RAM notebook. Kalyway's 10.4.10 works a charm though, but I have the same problems you have with Kalyway 10.5.2 intel_AMD (sse2/sse3) EFI V8 DVD I wish Kaly could help Artmuzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywilly Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 After successful installation of Kalyway 1.5.2, I boot from HDD. Then the small bootloader font shows for a split second (about 25lines are printed) and the system reboots. I cant exactly pinpoint the error since I cant read that fast why the system crashes while booting. How can I slow the bootloader on the harddrive down so that I can tell what the error is? Or alternatively what is the problem in my setup in the first place? What I tried without success: - Reinstall - Select the other AMD patch at install - -v -x -s - Read a lot and then some and then started a threat here (see sig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
