Only Booting in safe Boot. (-x)

[Chipstik]

Ok, here goes.

 

I have a kalyway distro of 10.5 (Lepoard) and installed it on my Dell Inspiron 1525. After installation, the only way the system will boot up successfully is in safe boot. (-x).

 

If I try to boot it normally, I get the grey screen with the apple logo on it, and the spinning indicator thing. After a while this just freezes. I can use the Quickset keys to adjust the volume, and i can hear it being changed. Also every now and then, i can see and use the cursor. When i use the -v flag at boot, the system halts at /system/library/CoreServices/coreservicesd[40] : SFLSharepointsEntry: :CreateDSRecord: dsCreateAndOpen (Alex's Public Folder) returned -14135

 

I was thinking maybe its a graphics problem as the system still responds to volume change inputs and so on.

 

Also, is it normal that in safe boot there is no way at all that i can edit files. It says that i don't have the correct permissons when i try to save it.

 

Thanks,

It's ok. I sorted it by installing X3100 Kexts.

EDIT:

 

Oh god. I just reinstalled, followed that guide again and my laptop wont boot into normal mode.

 

Back to the drawing board.

 

EDIT:

 

Fixed it by doing this in Single User Mode. Then Installing the Kexts.

 

 

/sbin/fsck -fy

/sbin/mount -uw /

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*

rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle

exit

 

Hope this helps somebody, if it does, let me know
