RestlessDreamz Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have just completed installing Snow Leopard on my laptop, and i have been struggling to get to the next step of it actually booting for two days now. I have reinstalled it numerous times, and I think that I now the closest that I have been to it finally working... At this point in time if I click boot normally it doesn't give me a screen saying "please hold down power button to restart". However the screen scrambles after a few seconds of loading...I think it's an issue with the graphics drivers so I was wondering if someone could please help me get this working... The graphic card that I have installed on my laptop is: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6-1253cl I should also note that when i try to boot into safe mode using -x it says i need to plug in a keyboard..so it doesn't recognize my laptop keyboard in safemode. Earlier I got it to boot into safemode, but the wifi didnt work..the ethernet didnt work, and the usb ports didn't work. So have since did a reinstall to get to where i am now Please help EDIT1:I have just found kext files that support my graphics card but I have not clue how to use them since I can't boot to the desktop EDIT2: I just found this topic but i am still not sure how to fix this... http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107526 EDIT3: So they keyboard is still not being recognized...and i think i have the files to fix that, i just dont know how to do it...i found a pkg file for the keyboard but i dont know how to install it if i cant get to the desktop. I also found kext files for my graphics card but i cant figure out how to install those without getting to the destktop as well.. can someone please tell me the commands for doing this?
