The "no entry" symbol (circle with a slash through it) is an indication
that the boot process timed out.

Reboot specifying -v and then monitor the messages which are produced.

You'll probably see "still waiting for root device" or another, related
message, appearing periodically.

After a while the boot process times-out and it is at that point that the
"no entry" message is generated if the machine wasn't booted using -v.

This is also possible with an incompatible version of OS X.

Apple is now doing a lot more checking of machine type, including board
model and serial number.

Fortunately, the OSx86 guys have figured out Apple's numbering scheme, so
the appropriate files are created which match your machine's definition,
such as MacPro3,1, etcetera.
