Boot-132 and Intel Core i7 + DX58SO results in reboot

**picoBrain** · 12-13-2008 11:37 AM

My hardware configuration follow

Motherboard: Asus P5K
Cpu: Q6600
Mem: 4 GB DDR2 Corsair
All Sata2 drive
Video card: NVidia 8500 GT

Installing Kalyway 1.5.2 or iDeneb 1.5.2 all work properly.

But, I used a boot disc for my Asus P5K and, when i put the Original Mac OS X disc installation appear a pop-up window saying: "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer".

I think it's because my motherboard. Isn't so ?

I have a Core i7 w/DX58SO motherboard. I had downloaded the generic.iso and have a retail Leopard disk and Leopard install on a bootable USB drive. I burned the generic.iso and booted the computer off of it. I can then attempt to boot off the USB drive but it reboots as soon as it hits the "Starting Darwin/X86" part.

What I assume is happening is the generic.iso is booting and loading kext's and then attempting to boot to usb drive. Once it trys to do that I get an automatic reboot.

Here are the last few lines...

*REBOOT*

Any suggestions to get Leopard on this wonderful machine?
