mumeix Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 help! i just finished installing the os on a laptop (older HP Compaq nx9020,) and had no issues during the installation. now whenever the laptop boots up, it goes to the apple splash screen with a grey background. i can hear the music play, and after a while, a voice starts wanting to walk me through a setup for some sort of voice option. if i boot up and press F8 and run -v, it stops as: Jun 8 03:53:30 localhost configd[50]: No AirPort Ddriver found. i'm using the following release in my installation: Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2]. the laptop specs are Intel Celeron M 1.4GHz with a 40 GB HD and 512 MB of RAM. whe i boot the laptop, apple says that my video card is Intel®8852GM/852GME/855GM/855GME i'm totally new to anything Mac OS related, so any help at all would be great!

mumeix Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 alright. it looks like i can give a bit more information on my setup. i'm another error before the No AirPort Driver found. several lines up, the following occurs (under -v on boot,): June 9 03:11:13 kextd[42]: kmod_control/start failed for com.apple.driver/AppleIntel915; destroying kmod June 9 03:11:13 kextd[42]: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel915.kext GFX0: family specific matching fails display: family specific matching fails so to me, this sounds like i need a different driver for my intel intergrated video card. so, my new questions are, 1) where can i get the proper .kext, and 2) once i have the proper .kext, how the heck do i install it when i can't get logged in to mac os? thanks, in advance, to anyone who can point me in the right direction! like i said before, i'm new to all of the mac os stuff, but i'm more than willing to learn Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109460-stuck-at-the-apple-screen-after-installation/#findComment-776985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
