Tewan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I recently tried to add a second monitor to my M1530 Hackint0sh without reading a tutorial how (assuming it worked with the nvidia drivers) Now when I try to boot up I am receiving a blue screen on my laptop display with the monitor unplugged (and none on my external monitor when plugged) that has a mouse cursor able to move around. Is there any way to fix this? Reformatting would be a huge pain considering I've already installed quite a few programs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewan Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Should I just reformat and get it over with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You could try booting with -f. Hit F8 just before the grey apple screen then type -f at the prompt. If that does not work, reboot and type -x to boot into safe mode then reboot again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewan Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I tried the -f and that did not work, now I'm trying the -x and has been loading (The gray apple loading screen) for about 15 minutes now... does it normally take this long? o_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 No, If you try -v -x it may give you a clue as to what the problem is. Sounds as if something is a bit screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua-mac Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hmm, If it were a desktop I would have suggested removing all networking cards. Can you turn off the wireless and any other lan cards in the bios. I still am not sure this is the real problem, but it is perhaps worth a shot. Then try booting again with -v.

Tewan Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Can you turn off the wireless and any other lan cards in the bios. That's what I tried, I'm just going to pull out the hard-drive, back it up, and then reformat. Oh well While I'm doing this, do you happen to know of any good Sigmatel 9228 audio drivers? Possibly with headphone jack support and mute? The one I had previously only allowed internal speakers and no mute. I'm running a Dell XPS M1530 if that's of any help. Thanks for tryin' with the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 If that does not work, you can do the following: If you are using Natit: Boot with -s option, then mount -uw / then rm -fr /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext then rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache /System/Library/Extensions.mkext then reboot If you are using NVInject: Boot with -s option, then mount -uw / then rm -fr /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext then rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache /System/Library/Extensions.mkext then reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aqua-mac Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Sounds like something else got screwed, think a reformat may be the quickest option unless there are others here that know more unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewan Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Damn. Alright, I'll get started on that. Also, should I use journaled or regular partitioning? And from an earlier post, do you happen to know of any good Sigmatel 9228 audio drivers? Possibly with headphone jack support and mute? The one I had previously only allowed internal speakers and no mute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua-mac Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Journaled. I will have a look around for sound drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beispielname Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 hey, i come along with this: what i've done: i installed ipc 10.5.6 with a geforce 9600 GT (1gb of ram). mainboard is a asus a8n-sli deluxe and there is a seagate hard drive. everything worked fine, then i edited the efi and so on after this manual: http://forum.netkas.org/index.php?topic=222.0 . i also used OSX86 Tools. when i start the system wothout -v -f under DVI i get a blue screen without cursor and i cant get to the login... theres nothing, just blue-ness. i also can't perform a blind login, the hard drive does not blink. when i start it with a vga cable with -v -f i get the screen in the picture (kernel panic). when i start in safe mode (-x) everything works finde and it starts up correctly. so, what can i do to make it work normal ?
