Hi,
this is my system :
M.B:Gigabyte G41MT-S2P Rev.1.3
GPU:Ati His 4670 HD 1GB
CPU:Intel Core2Duo E7500 @2.93 GHZ
I Can Boot Correctly Only On Safe Mode (With -x)
But If I Dont Use Safe Mode I Had A Loading Circle For 3-4 Seconds Then Empty Gray Screen And Nothing Happens!
I Tried To Boot With Safe Mode And Installed m u l t i b e a s t Then Rebooted And The Same Problem Is Happening
And How Can I See My NTFS Partitions On My Mac
Please Help
And Thank You
-------------------------
Tried to install m u l t i b e a s t again
and now it gives me kernel panic
but boots successfully with -x
Please Help

My recommendation: do not use Multi Beast. That is a tool that only causes problems. Rather, reinstall using the all in one solution OSx86 ModCD - a guide is in my signature.

[SAMEH209]

Ok i will try
thanks

[SAMEH209]

i tried the method in your sig.
it is the same problem !
i can only boot with safe mode (-x) !
without it i have a apple logo and loading circle then empty gray screen!

P.S:i installed without mach_kernel command because it gave me a black x white screen after 5 minutes (My Cpu Is Core2Duo)

Please Help !

The Apple logo with spinning circle tells us nothing.

When faced with problems, ALWAYS boot with -v so that the text of the boot is visible. Report on what it says when it hangs - give the last few lines of text or a picture.

And you have to install some version of kernel or it will not boot. The kernel is the brain of the operation and without it the whole thing is brain dead.

[SAMEH209]

ok i will try -v and tell you
And how do i install a kernel? and where to get it?
Thanks

ModCD would have helped you with your kernel. I believe with your processor, you would have chosen a vanilla kernel.

[SAMEH209]

those are the last lines :

Debugger Called <Panic>
Backtrace (CPU0), Frame : Return Address

(And 20 lines of codes like 0xfff and these things)
Backtrace Continuos
BSDProcess name Corresponding to current thread :kextd
MAC OS Version:
10A432
Kernel Version :
Darwin Kernel Version :10,0,0
System Model Name :
imac8.1
System uptime in nanoseconds = 17235756197



I hope it can be fixed

how to select it ?
(Sorry Iam new to all this )

And this is a video

The splash screen of ModCD says that in order to use the vanilla kernel, you type "mach_kernel" (without the quotes). Since you didn't do this, I think you have a legacy kernel which is the default kernel.

You said it gave you a black and white screen after 5 minutes. This isn't necessarily the fault of the kernel and I don't truly understand when and where it turned black and white. Were the graphics black and white? Or just black and white text? Or black and white splotches?

[SAMEH209]

i tried with "mach_kernel" but it gave me the black screen with white text then the whole screen became a mess (a thing like white x black splotches!)

[rlf]

But that isn't necessarily the kernel that did that. The screen "mess" probably happened when the drivers for video kicked in. Should try again and type: -v -x mach_kernel

The -v gives you white text on a black screen. That is intentional so that you can read any errors. The -x among other things will turn off the video drivers. And mach_kernel will force it to install with the vanilla kernel.

This is for your graphics kexts, try this: end this boot flag


x -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 UseKernelCache=No USBFix=Yes Cpus=1 darkwake=0 PciRoot=0

boot whit -s

mount /
mkdir /KextOff/
cd /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv ATI*kext /KextOff
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*
cd /
shutdown -r now

Good luck!!!

Booted Successfully But In Safe Mode
And Thats The Problem!
I Can Only Boot On Safe Mode !

This is for your graphics kexts, try this: end this boot flag


x -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 UseKernelCache=No USBFix=Yes Cpus=1 darkwake=0 PciRoot=0

cd /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
mv ATI*kext /KextOff
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*
cd /
shutdown -r now

Good luck!!!

Ok I Will Try
Thanks

But this just means you need to work on your graphics so you don't have to boot in safe mode anymore.

After Doing The Red Part
Then Booting Without Any Flags
The Loading Circle Keeps Spinning Forever And Nothing Happend
And When I Tried With -v The Last Lines Were :

SystemShutdown False
disk1: ioctl(_Iowr, 'd',lol,24) is unsupported
Waiting For DSMOS ...

And It Stays Forever

But this just means you need to work on your graphics so you don't have to boot in safe mode anymore.

So...
What Should I Do ?
Thank You Very Much For Your Help
And Sorry For Disturbing

[rlf]

Well, there were errors in the red text, so you shouldn't have done that. Booting -x does essentially the same thing but leaves the drivers in place so you can work on them.

Since I can't verify what you actually did when you typed the red text, I think you are set up to reinstall.

[SAMEH209]

Ok I Will
But What After Reinstall ??

[rlf]

You boot with -x until you solve your graphics problem.

[SAMEH209]

ok i successfully reinstalled
but how i fix the graphics problem?
is it about kexts?

[rlf]

The answer could be replacing kexts or modifying kexts.

Google: ATI 4670 insanelymac
Go to Kexts.com and search for 4670
