Hi guys!

 

Yesterday I installed my first Snow Leopard 10.6.4 hackintosh using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]+[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method. Everything was working fine after booting the system, i have even done several successfull reboots until the system accidently froze(i was running Firefox when it happened). After that It doesn't boot even with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD. I discovered(using -v) that all the time the boot process freezes at replay_journal. Does anyone have some clues what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

 

My configuration is:

ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi-ap @n

Core2Quad Q9550 (was recognized by the system as a "Quad-Core XEON"(?))

NVIDIA GTX280

4GB RAM

1TB HDD

 

I installed using patched DSDT, additional kexts: skge.kext(for network card), openhaltrestart.kext

I think this is caused by kext ( removed or added ) try to reinstall or try to figure out which kext that causing the problem

 

Thanks for the reply! After some investigation i've come to an interesting discovery: i wanted to check my hard drive for bad blocks using a low-level utility called MHDD as I thought it was causing the problem. For safety i disconnected 2 other hard drives from the mainboard and after that tried booting once again...and it was successful!:) That's really strange, my system is booting again... What the problem might be?

1st 200GB HDD had 1 partition with NTFS which was read successfully by OSX, the second one(500GB) contained a linux boot partition and another one with LVM.
