I'm trying to install Mavericks using Unibeast with laptop support.

The USB installer reaches the white Mac screen for a second before the computer restarts. :banghead:

These are the boot flags I tried:
PCIRoot=1 -v GraphicsEnabler=No Arch=i386

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Thanks for responding Rehabman.

Here are the exact specs of the computer.

The processor is: Intel® CoreTM2 Duo Processor Low Voltage L7400 (4MB of L2 cache, 1.5GHz, 667MHz FSB)
Integrated Graphics: Intel® 945GMExpress

I used Unibeast 5.1.0 with default settings and Laptop support.

Local APIC panic can cause reboot. Try cpus=1.

Please add hardware details to your profile.

The problem persists with cpus=1, the last line in verbose starts with "Boot..."
I'm unable to read the complete sentence since it happens really fast.

Use a video camera to capture it, so you can look at it frame-by-frame.

Since you have really old hardware, it could be something I'm not familiar with. Try DropSSDT=Yes. Check BIOS settings. For example, OS X requires DEP to be enabled.

The camera reveals that the final line before rebooting is:
Code: 
Starting Darwin x86_64

Which happens with:
-v DropSSDT=Yes
-v PCIRoot=1
-v cpus=1
-v GraphicsEnabler=No
-v Arch=i386

And all of them combined.

PhoenixBios lacks advanced options such as execute bit or dep.

Arch is not a valid flag (it is 'arch'). And there is no 32-bit support in Mavericks. Mavericks is 64-bit only.

You may need more than one flag:

eg.

-v -x DropSSDT=Yes GraphicsEnabler=No cpus=1

Same problem persists with these flags.

Sorry... you have some sort of early reboot in the kernel. I'm just not that familiar with your hardware which is quite old...

It may not even be supported...

Try an older OS X release such as Snow Leopard.
