hi,

i know it's kinda classic but i got the nasty reboot thing when using the vanilla kernel. chameleon comes up, kernel loads and right after the kexts are loaded and the resolution change should happen i get a happy reboot/reset

tried 10.5.6 and 10.5.7 kernels.

p35-ds4
c2d e6320
8800gts
sata disk

the funny thing is i can boot snow leopard just fine (using its vanilla kernel).
so what's the matter with 10.5?

any hints are welcome

are there some things like bios settings or kexts e.g. the vanilla kernel is known to reject?
