How do I boot with -v? sorry I am a newb at this.

[rockinron_1]

When the boot loader first comes up with os x selected (possibly timing out until it boots) press a key to stop the timeout then type -v screenshot that and post it here

[Dadycupcakes]

I can't seem to get it to stop and let me type in -v, I'm going to make a video showing you guys how it boots etc. and maybe that will help you guys more.

[Dadycupcakes]

Ok, I booted into -v and this is what it got hung up on.




So I figured out that my bios was set on IDE instead of ahci so I fixed that it got past the boot then it comes to a screen that says your computer needs to be restarted hold power button etc. I ran -v again and it ran through everything and it got stuck on a grey screen after listing everything. What is the problem now?

Remove one of the 480's. Boot with GraphicsEnabler=yes.

Doe your mouse work at that grey screen?

Ok that seems to have done the trick I can finally get into the initial setup of my account etc. now, but my keyboard isn't working so I can't get passed the create your computer account, any ideas on how to fix that? It's a logitech keyboard plugged in through ps2 port.

[JamesLittler]

You need a USB keyboard and mouse for the setup.
Once at your desktop you can install kexts for your PS2 devices.

[Dadycupcakes]

Ok, thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it.

[Dadycupcakes]

Sorry one more question is it possible to get sleep mode to work? whenever I put it into sleep mode my case fans don't turn off.

[JamesLittler]

Post your console log.
You may need to edit your DSDT to enable sleep.
