GibrillSounds Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hey guys, Managed to install Niresh 10.8.2 without any problem. Everything went smoothly, no -v necessary or any other flag. At first reboot I selected ML, hit enter, Apple Logo, little wheel spinning, HDD working, then stopped and there it stayed. Rebooted with -v and after stalling around 5 mins at "NTFS NAME 3.1" it passed that and finally stopped at "Resetting IOCatalogue". -x, -s, -f flags not working. I mention that this is the second installation, first time selected ATI and Atheros, didn't uncheck "False blabla" that Niresh says that has to be unchecked and it was stopping at ATHEROS Wifi kext, imagined that was the problem, reinstalled, issue with Atheros dissapeared but appeared the problems mentioned above. My specs are in my signature, I mention that I use an 500gb HDD for installing niresh, inside an e-rack, connected to the e-sata port my laptop has. On the laptop HDD WIN7. Hope someone can provide some ideeas on how to boot the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GibrillSounds Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 thx for the reply man. Tried what you said, here is what I got at the boot: Any ideea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 boot with -s and use this code for mv de graphics kexts to folder backup fsck -fy mount -uw / mkdir /kext_backup cd /System/Library/Extensions mv AppleIntelHD* AppleIntelSNB* AMDRadeon* ATI* GeForce* NVDA*/kext_backup rm ../Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iFIRE Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 first boot with -s then write line by line + enter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibrillSounds Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 well...just did what you said...I think I did it correctly...rebooted after and booted up normally (no -v), apple logo with spinning wheel that kept spinning forever and forever. Rebooted with -v, this is what it's now stumbling across (picture) If I could only understand what am I aiming for...I don't understand (and nobody seems to explain in humanly terms) what I am trying to do with all these commands and flags...what is the damn problem which stops ML booting on my PC...

iFIRE Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 ok, boot with -v -f UseKernelCache=No boot flags: 02. BootHelp.txt: The boot: prompt waits for you to type advanced startup options. If you don't type anything, the computer continues starting up normally. It uses the kernel and configuration files on the startup device, which it also uses as the root device. Advanced startup options use the following syntax: [device]<kernel> [arguments] Example arguments include device: rd=<BSD device name> (e.g. rd=disk0s2) rd=*<IODeviceTree path> (e.g. rd=*/PCI0@0/CHN0@0/@0:1) kernel: kernel name (e.g. "mach_kernel" - must be in "/" ) flags: -v (verbose) -s (single user mode), -x (safe mode) -F (ignore boot configuration file) "Graphics Mode"="WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH" (e.g. "1024x768x32") For VESA 3.0 graphics, you may append a refresh rate after an "@" character (e.g. "1280x1024x32@75") kernel flags (e.g. debug=0x144) io=0xffffffff (defined in IOKit/IOKitDebug.h) Example: mach_kernel rd=disk0s1 -v "Graphics Mode"="4096x4096x32@85" If the computer won't start up properly, you may be able to start it up using safe mode.

Maybe I should try with iAtKos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
