Here is my issue:

Whenever I choose ANY type of install, it will display 4 lines of text, then reboots. I have to start that process over and over until I can get it to work. I have tested this on an Intel Dual Core & my AMD. I want it on my AMD computer, though. The two computers come up with the same results. I can boot into safe mode, -x, and it seems like it loads all of the kexts, but it will restart and I have to start over, yet again.

I am already running Vista, 7, and Kubuntu 9.04. Would the GRUB loader mess with this at all?

I could use the help, guys.

No GRUB won't mess with it. But what kernels are you choosing and drivers and such during the customize install section?

[PurplePeopleEater]

YES!!! Kalyway users, OSx86 is back! (had to get that out)

What happens when you boot regularly?


For the GRUB, GRUB covered eveything for me, OSX wasnt there, if I pick the Vista loader (for win7) it has OSX XP and the deleted win 7 (i have the most F'd up bootloaders in the history of computers). You need to add the chain0 file to your primary windows (vista in your case) follow this tutorial, scroll to the bootloading section

http://wiki.osx86pro...DualBoot_10.5.2

alternatively you can use the tboot file but you wont need unless you want osx on a slave hardrive. If you dont know what a slave hardrive is then you dont need tboot, use chain0.

since your processor is see2/3 I recommend the first kernal for pc and the OSX sleep-step if your a notebook. The best option is the vanilla kernal but it works only on intel processors. You also need the amd fix if it's available.

I see nothing but something about my HDD. I don't know what it says, unless I reboot, and I hate rebooting

I don't get any option of choosing a kernel, unless I have to type it. I have read the ReadME and it tells me what Kernels I can choose, but it says that I should only do that when I have already installed it.

Ok,

When you boot from the cd to install Kalyway, that is when you choose the kernal to install,

When you booted from the disk to install kalyway, go to disk utility and erase the FAT32 partition you made for OSX? When you erased did you select Mac OSX (Journaled) and name it?

When you get to the "install" part click customize and pick your kernals and extensions, etc. After the install you should be good.

Here is exactly what I get when I first boot from the CD-ROM:

Press any key to boot from CD-ROM, or press F8 for options

I have tried both, pressing any key will load some kexts (too fast for me to write) and restart. F8 brings this up:

Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 4093MB memory VESA v3.0 14MB (NVIDIA)

Use v/^ keys to select the startup volume.

hd (31,0) Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_amd

Press enter to start up Darwin/x86 with no options, or you can:

Type -v and press Enter to start with diagnostic messages
Type ? and press Enter to learn about advanced startup options

Boot

At the very end is a place where you can input text

hd (31,0) Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_amd

This is selected, and is the only available startup volume.

Hmm, on AMD computers, if you cant boot from cd rom I'd suggest ideneb 10.5.5 thats the next best solution, or even better Kalyway 10.5.5 if your lucky to get a seeded torrent

They have better support for amd computers, your better off running on intel cpus

[dtack68]

When I type in -x it will load a lot of kexts and seems like it is installing. It will reboot and then I have to start over again.

[bhast2]

well for one it is not installing yet it is just loading up the kext off of the disc than you get to the installer so you are having problems booting the disc

that means that it doesn't support your hardware you will have to try a different custom dvd

[dtack68]

bhast, what specs do you run?

I could just buy more parts that you have, so I know it should work with my hardware.

[bhast2]

what are your computer specs

[dtack68]

MOBO: ASUS M4N78 PRO
GFX: Nvidia GeForce 9800gt
PROCESSOR: AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz

[PurplePeopleEater]

ASUS P5W DH Deluxe is the best motherboard read about it here:

That is a personally tested hardware compatability list by "Joby on Sun" reading this is a must!!!!

Thanks purple people eater. That first link is one of the most useful hackintosh threads I have ever read.

By the way, are you a vikings fan?

it wil owrk

[dtack68]

It will? So what is the problem I am having?

[dtack68]

Sorry for double post, but I got iDeneb with OS 10.5.5. It will go to the light gray screen with the dark gray apple logo. It will be loading, but lasts forever. After a couple of minutes, it will display a small, pixelated/blocky, cancel icon in the middle of the screen, on top of the dark grey apple. My DVD drive status light does not show up.
