Using Sierra, burned iBoot onto a CD.
Updated BIOS to latest version, loaded optimised defaults.

Before:
Booted into iBoot, swapped the CD and entered in boot "-v"
Stuck at "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87"
Added cpus=1 to get past it (Solution I found on another site)

Now:
Booted into iBoot, swapped the CD and entered in boot "-v cpus=1"
Stuck at "RTC: disableAlarm failed (StatusB = ff)"

Searched on the internet for this and came up with only 5 results from different forums with no solution found.

Tried booting with/without: -x, GraphicsEnabler=No, PCIRootUID=1

With -x, I get one more line after "RTC: disableAlarm failed (StatusB = ff)", "ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out"



I followed this guide: 10.6 Installation

Hope to hear from someone soon, Thanks

I'm not sure how to check the version but it just says 10.6

Current retail SL DVD is 10.6.3. Where did you obtain your SL DVD?
