cactusbin Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 My hardware is: Nvidia 7950GT AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe nForce 590 (builtin rtl8187 wireless) IDE Harddrive (set to primary slave) IDE DVD Drive (set to primary master) I installed Leo4all on my IDE Harddrive and installation went smoothly. When I rebooted everything flashed across, and I didn't see any errors. A blue screen came on for about three seconds and then turned black, I have a cursor in the upper left hand corner. My mouse and keyboard work fine. After about five minutes the cursor turns into the pinwheel thing. After about 15 minutes the computer shuts off. If I start it in -x -v -s mode it runs fine, but my wireless doesn't work. What's the problem?

hackeron Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Anyone? Same problem here, also, if I turn the monitors off, then turn them back on, I get a blue screen on both monitors and the cursor disappears. I can also SSH into the system no problem and everything appears to be running.

Beerkex'd Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Plug your monitor into the other output on the video card. If you've got anything plugged into the TV-Out, unplug it.

hackeron Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Plug your monitor into the other output on the video card. If you've got anything plugged into the TV-Out, unplug it. I have 2 monitors - I tried unplugging one and plugging a single monitor into each of the DVI ports. Results are the same.

Beerkex'd Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 If you can't boot up in safe mode (boot with -x) you need to delete your injector and the relevant nvidia drivers. You can boot in single-user mode and do it from there (-s) or you can boot from your install DVD, run terminal and do it from there.

Read this guide for more information: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4 I can boot just fine by booting into single user mode and delete the EFI String and/or the injectors. Problem is whenever I use any injector or EFI string, I just get a black screen with a mouse cursor on it. If I don't use an EFI string and/or injector, I get 1024x768 on a single monitor with no QE/CI.

hackeron Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Extracting the Leopard 10.5.3 update and manually copying the Nvidia drivers from it solved the issue. Strangely installing 10.5.8 doesn't replace the nvidia drivers - if you however extract the 10.5.8 update and replace the drivers manually, you get the black screen, white mouse cursor problem! -- So downgrade the Nvidia drivers to 10.5.3 - Unfortunately the drivers from 10.5.3 are buggy in Photoshop CS4 (distortion when going full screen). Anyone has a better solution? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109666-post-install-blueblack-screen-leo4all/#findComment-1222538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
