iPC kext support
I have now gotten iPC 10.5.6 and written it to a dvd (actually, about 5 dvds). I cannot get it to boot up and get to the install. The closest I get is an apple screen that flashes, and then it reboots
So I am thinking that it has something to do with the kext. Can anyone give me the general idea of which kext to get? Thanks! |
What do you see before it reboots on your screen, when booting up in verbose mode?
(F8 on startup then issue -v on prompt) What spec does your hardware have? |
It just reboots whatever I do
I have Intel quad core 2.83ghz, 8gb ram, Radeon HD 3450, Realtek HD soundcard. I also am dual booting with ubuntu with grub, if that has anything to do with it |
Yes but if you get the Apple screen, then you should get something when booting in verbose mode.
A message like booting Darwin and else. What motherboard? |
i think he means your mother board and your computers full specs
EDIT beat me to it lol |
It says Darwinx86 and the thing spins, then the apple screen flashes and it reboots
Board: Dell Inc. 0M017G A00 Serial Number: ..CN7443189G06FE. Bus Clock: 333 megahertz BIOS: Dell Inc. 1.0.6 11/03/2008 is that what you mean for my mobo specs? |
omg... when it says Press F8 to enter startup options(or something like that) PRESS THE KEY!, then enter -v and press enter
simple |
lol yeah it reboots. i can record it if you want me to
|
Well ok it's Dell. Doen't mater at this stage anyway.
OK, at that early stage no kext is loaded. The bootloader has been loaded. I guess the kernel is loaded or about to load. Is there no way to get to the darwin prompt, so you could enter something? Press F8 several times as soon as the DVD drive starts spinning up the iPC disk. Sometimes it gets ignored when you are to slow. |
More help than you wanted.:)
Maybe the disk is corupted. Have you burned it on a R- with slowest speed (x4)? Yes I know DVD number 6.:) |
