joelito Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi I've managed to install Kalyway 10.5.3... Everything is working fine, sound, video, network... everything i need is working. The only "problem" I have is on the boot process... I can only boot my machine with the Update -v -f command... I can't figure out what i've missed... dahhh Someone can help me on this...

kytzu Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I don't know how to fix it but you can add this parameters at kernel options in com.aple.Boot.plist and then you don't have to type it each boot. "-f" is not enough? I had a problem like this before and only -f made my sistem to boot, I fexed it with reinstall.

razerbug Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 the '-' commands are linux flags -v means "verbose" or in human terms: 'tell me what your doing' it makes that (mostly nonsense) text stream down the screen before the GUI starts, it's used to diagnose where the processes has gone wrong -f is (or always has been with other commands) "force" - IE to carry out the command even if permisions etc would prohibit it... for instance if you type 'rm -f' on a linux box you are telling it to delete something without any more warnings or even if it shouldn't. I'm not sure the -v would make a differnece but the -f could be making the boot work by bypassing some error your encountering. it's not a fix I'm afraid but when I started doing this I didn't know anything about the -stuff so I throught I'd shed some light on it.

jivhg Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is how it is fixed : Delete the file : /System/Library/Extensions.mkext" And reboot. If that doesn't work, clear your extensions cache with the osX86 tools utility.

joelito Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi guys! Thank's for your repply.... razerbug - I know what it means the -v and -f in environment... and the verbose mode dosen't show any "major" error... The problem here is if i don't use the update -v -f in the darwin bootloader my hackintosh keeps rebooting... if i use any other, for example only -v -f it... keeps rebooting! Stange but true... i will try to find something and inform the people who have the same problem!!!! Regards to you all my friends!
