scoobydu Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I have the P35-DS3R working a treat with Leopard and I have been trying to get Leopard to install on my Opteron rig. I've tried all of the latest realeases and they all do the same. I boot with -v (with all of the combinations there is with this!) with the same result. All of the kexts load in text mode and then as the screen resolution normally changes to framebuffer mode the machine reboots. 1) Is this the wrong kernel or problem with my graphics mode (Nvidia 4800SE) causing the oops and reboot? 2) Is there a log of the very early install process that I can check for the cause of the problem? I've tried with a differant graphics card with the same result and I've disabled everything from the motherboard and the result is still the same. Thanks for any tips scooby ps Tiger is successfully installed on MBR without EFI Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98720-tyan-tiger-k8w-s2875-and-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydu Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hi there, Yes I did, but no joy. Thx for the tip. I have though perhaps made some progress.... As I say I have Tiger working and duplicated on another disk which works great. Then I installed efi v8 and got the reboots at exactly the same point. After doing some searching, it appears that other AMD users are having problems with EFI reboots under AMD. Just need to see if I can disable EFI on boot for any of the recent leopard boot disks? cheers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/98720-tyan-tiger-k8w-s2875-and-leopard/#findComment-706136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

atgrain Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think i figured it out! Check to see if your board has the intel boot agent(s) installed. That would be the 2 drive-like things that boot right after the board runs it's diagnostics and right before booting any other drives. Well the thing is, those drive things actually ARE drives...Virtual drives that are designed to be fed by a remote machine through the ethernet connection. They run pre-boot (before any harddrives, ect), and they actually run on thier own EFI operating system the ENTIRE time your machine is booted up (for fax servers, ect. i'd imagine). I'm checking out the dell website now, it looks like there's a way to erase the entire pre-boot bios and hopefully the efi from the system. To me, that seams like it could definately be a source of our problems. Wish me luck, i'll post a report later! ~Bryan Still no one? Chameleon rc1 doesn't work for me either ... Still no one?
