Hey guys,

I've got a very, very strange problem. I had it in my old JaS Tiger to. I'll describe it:
When I boot, it appears my Windows Bootloader. I select "OSX86" and the Darwin Bootloader appears. I click double-enter (for start without any flags), and in 1 of 5 cases it works. It's loading the kexts, the Apple Screen appears and "great"!

But only in 1 of 5 cases (circa). In the other 4 cases, following siutations can be (also randomly!):

- the "earliest" problem: "Calibation failed with two attempts!" And a line above "We are going backwards ---> restarting timing" (see attachment)
- the "a little bit later" problem: When the kexts are loaded (and before the Apple Screen appears) it just reboots. Not very nice ...
- the "latest" problem: a kernel panic (picture follows) (sometimes a "double panic")

... and sometimes my USB-Wireless keyboard doesn't even work in the Windows Bootloader.

These three errors are not very beatiful. Sometimes I can boot at first go, sometimes I have to try it 5,6,7 times. I try it with flags like "cpus=1", "-v", "-f", "-x", but I think it's still randomly. That's not very mac-like ;-)

--

My second problem is, that I've installed an AC97 kext for my VIA-onboard sound - the sound works perfectly - but I can't change the volume at my PC. That's not very mac-like, too ;-) (problem was in JaS-Tiger, too)

I hope you can help me. First of all with the Boot-Problem ...

greetings,
-crawle

Alright. I solved the problem with my audio. I had to choose in the System Config as an Output-Device PCM instead of SPDIF.
But my boot problems aren't very nice still ...

Hmmm... I think it means 'calibration'. But what must be calibrated before the boot-process? I never saw this screen, it always flipped through so fast...

USB-Keyboard never worked in BIOS or Windows bootloader for me. That's why I always wanted to get PS/2 working. Don't you have an adapter?

The USB-Keyboard isn't the problem, because it works only very rare not.
Mh, it's a pitty. So I'll have to be patient and try it until it works ;-)

Have you tried another USB port? Some USB ports have not enough power for some devices, especcially on Asus boards.
How about a Wackelkontakt?

A 'Wackelkontakt'? You mean a loose contact? (Thanks Leo.org)
I don't think so...
But to my Boot-Problem: I think, when the PC off a while (while night o.s.), it boots nearly every time. Hm..?

P.s.: @all not-german: "Wackelkontakt" is a loose contact. Remember this, when you ever be to Germany - very useful ;-)

Hm, reminds me at the Amiga-times: If you'd switched it off and on with a short delay the computer won't work at all or you got keyboard error codes (shown by the caps Lock LED). In one case a reset-proof RAM Disk wasn't erased - after turning off the computer!

Ah, so how can I find out, if my RAM Disk wasn't erased?

No, this was on Amiga. I don't think PC's using RAM disks anymore in these times.

Ah, you're right, sorry.
So, I'll try to keep a little bit time between booting ;-)
Thanks naquaada...
