Full Version: Startup problem with 10.4.6

Hi,

my first post here, so: Hello world.

I installed 10.4.6 sucessfully on my Toshiba notebook (Intel P4M 1.6Ghz, 512MB).
After the installation, I had "berror0" and found out about the necessary activation of the bootflag for the partition.

Now, I am able to start into the boot loader.
After choosing the installation on my harddisk to fire up, a lot of files are loaded (looks quite similar to kernel load) and when it comes to the graphical user interface, the system goes directly into a new boot cycle.

Does anyone know what needs to be done?

Best regards,
Phillip

First of all, WELCOME. biggrin.gif
Now why do you see the kexts loading. You're not supposed to see that unless you boot with -v as a boot flag in the darwin boot loader. This seems like a graphics problem, but the reboot is bit strange. Anyway, try booting with -x to get into safe mode and see what happens. If you get the same results post back, and this time say what graphics card you have.

Hi,

It's a NVIDIA Geforce 420Go, I guess (Toshiba P2200, some years old).

First, I see a lot of fast file loads, then (now, I'm using the uphuck 1.4.9 r1.3), I see the VESA mode with some more information. System hangs at "uses xyzy buffers of.."

Now I look for 10.4.8 or a brandnew MacBook smile.gif
