Installation failure using MSIWindOSx86.iso

I don't know if anyone else is using MSIWindOSx86.iso...

I have an XP AA1 that I upgraded the RAM (1.5GB total) and the Dell 1490. I am going for a triple boot setup (XP, OSx86 and Ubuntu). I mostly followed a guide for MSI Wind (http://wiki.msiwind.net/index.php/Tripl ... tion_Guide).

I kept the recovery partition, resized the XP partition and created two partitions for OSx86 and Ubuntu.

All the installation seems to go fine, but when I reboot to OSx86, it starts to boot, shows the blue background, and then reboots itself. I tried "-v", but after the blue background, I don't see the log anymore.

Can someone help?

Thanks.

Actually "cpus=1" at the boot screen made it come up.

Why is this an issue? It can't handle hyperthreading?

Also, do I need to do this every time I boot?

Hong.

 

The cpus=1 flag is an option in the Kalyway 10.5.2 installer, and if you search the main thread on OSX in this forum I think you will find the terminal commands to insert the cpus=1 flag permanently (ie. if you didn't do it during installation).

 

Thanks. I googled to figure it out.

BTW, doesn't Leopard support hyperthreading?

so did you get it working? how's the speed on Mac OS? i want to triple boot as well, does the drive works in Mac OS?

 

I have Mac OS X installed on an external USB drive here, and it's pretty snappy on the One. Not so on the SSD, though, which is quite sluggish.
