dripdrip Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 For the past 2 weeks I've been running a retail install of Snow Leopard flawlessly. This morning I get onto my computer and after a few minutes the screen went blank, but the computer was still running. I did everything I could think of to wake it, with no success. Next I tried restarting it and everything seemed fine until it hanged at the grey logo screen. Im running off a SSD and boot only usually takes a few seconds and after a few minutes of staring at the apple logo I figured something was wrong. I booted with verbose and got - launch ctrl: please convert the following to launchd: /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist systemShutdown false I've also tried booting in safe (-x) and in single user (-s) with no success. I've got no idea what has happened and I really need some advice. My hardware is as follows: -asus p5k pro -q6600 -8800gt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dripdrip Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well, I managed to solve my own issue with this one. I accessed my snow leopard install from another install and removed all the kexts from my extra/extensions folder except fakesmc. After that it would boot, albeit poorly. I then returned the kexts one by one until i had all that i needed. Now snowy's running again and after 5-ish hours all is going well.
