Mr. Moneybags Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Well, I was able to successfully install and get Kalyway 10.5.2 to run on my old dimension 4600, but I'm having serious issues getting Kalyway to run on my new XPS 420. What happens is I turn on the computer, it goes to the apple logo with the spinning circle. After it's done loading, It stays on a white screen for about 7 seconds, and then it goes to a gray screen, and stays there for a long, long time. I've waited at least 10 minutes on that screen, which means there's obviously something wrong. I tried the vanilla kernel and the sleepkernel options, but those both gave the same thing. Oh yeah, and when I try to do the "-x" thing in Darwin, the spinning circle freezes. Any solutions?

Thanks reinstall it, at the installation options screen(tclick he customize button), in the patches section try including the [cpus = 1 patch.] Most problems like these occur in core 2 quad processors.

Mr. Moneybags Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 unfortunately, I thought I did it on my first installation. Just in case it didn't work, I did it again just to make sure, and the same issue came about. I have no clue what I should do. I may just try installing Leo4all Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112862-help-im-caught-on-a-gray-screen/#findComment-798854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Moneybags Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just great, Leo4all is doing the same thing, just with the scrolling text and not the apple logo screen thingy. Oy vey, this is frustrating! Any advice?

SuperNet33 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 do -v and tell us what error msg you get. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112862-help-im-caught-on-a-gray-screen/#findComment-798929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Moneybags Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 unfortunately, I dont' get an error message when I do just -v. It finishes the scrolling, and then it goes to a black screen. Though when I type "-v -x", I get a "localhost /usr/sbin/ocspd[71]: starting" and it gets stuck there. I think that's what happened when I tried just plain "-x" as the boot optionoh yeah, and I reinstalled Kalyway without the CPU 1 patch thing, and i got the same exact thing :-( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112862-help-im-caught-on-a-gray-screen/#findComment-798937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
