DVD bootloader makes reboot again and again

kael · #1 02-19-2008, 02:25 PM

When loading Darwin, my system automatically reboots itself, and it can not even get to the installer screen.

Is this a problem related to EFI?

I have another HDD for Leopard (IDE) and two IDE DVD-roms, for installation I disconnected all other 2 HDDs.

Doesn't my Motherboard work with this release or I do have to modify BIOS Settings?

Thanks in advance for all your Help,

Kael

perhaps lol time for an upgrade i guess.
also i tried the iATKOS disk with the amd patch and that did boot.

Do you mean you patched the iATKOS' iso and installed the PC EFI? And do you get 10.5.2 system update? How?

i havent had a chance to go thru the install. i had to go to work and im doing homework right now on the pc but yes i downloaded the iATKOS iso and patched it with amd patch and i booted for me and took me to the installer. iATKOS is 10.5.1 however but i think the 10.5.2 update should work from the thread thats on this boards

those are not the pcs i want osx on tho... i want to install it on my compaq v2000z but i keep getting the "waiting on root device" message

For this,I know there's solution(http://osx86.wikidot.com/known-issues#toc10),you may try it.I just wanna see if you can update your system by the package made by eddie11c(http://osx.kbot.de/comments.php?DiscussionID=300&page=5#Item_10) with full EFI support.Can you try it later?

i've seen the wiki and i dont know where to look for a kext file that supports my chipset which is SB400 i think. i was just thinking of installing to the HD in a different pc and swaping the drive back to see if it would work.

but back to topic, yes i'll try it on my pc later today, its 3:30 am and im trying to finish up a paper for school lol.
