NAS4Free Live USB reboots system instead of installation

[danbak]

Hi!

I'm trying to install NAS4Free on an old (2007-ish) pre-assembled computer with a new PSU and HDD. The installation would be done to an USB stick.
I tried this with a CD too, with the same results.

When I boot up the computer, all goes well until it tells me to choose to boot NAS4Free either "normally" or in safe mode (some other choices were there as well). When I choose "normally", it loads for some time and then reboots. What could be the problem?

crappy hardware most likely.

whats your hardware?

I'm not quite sure exactly since the computer is not mine, but a neighbor's. It's an HP Mediacenter pre-assembled with 2GB of RAM and 0,5GB of VRAM. That's all I know.

not much to go on.

check bios setting. reset bios to default values. etc.

low bios battery can be a problem

Hi,

and thank you for your replies. I replaced the CMOS battery but the problem remains. I have no idea what could be causing it.

try to install BSD pure and linux (eg: debian), to discard problems in the boot code of both O.S

PD: BSD is the base system of N4F and the boot loader & installer is based on the standart BSD installer, so if fails, your motherboard are not compatible with BSD=N4F
