Installed Jas OSX86 10.4.8 Successfully; however, after the first reboot system freezes

[Will V]

What's going on guys?

 

I just finished installing Jas OSX 10.4.8 in my HP Intel Centrino laptop. The installation went smooth. After completing the installation i had sound and video and was able to get into the OS. After my first re-start the system rebooted and after the apple logo screen with the loading circle i get a blue screen which doesnt go any where from there. Right before rebooting, I had installed the wifi drivers from the wiki site; however, me thinking that maybe the drivers were the one that caused the problem, I re-installed the OSX all over again and rebooted without installing the drivers (once installation was completed) and the same thing happens.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a Dual Core processor? If so then enter Mac by typing cpus=1 at the darwin prompt then go to Safari and get a program named BBedit. Install that program and navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration then open this file using BBedit: com.apple.Boot.plist.

 

You will see this.

Change it to this.

If you are unable to boot your installation take your time and reinstall.

Remember to chose proper packages depending your hardware.

After a successful installation if you try to install any fix remember before reboot to "repair permissions" on your Hard Drive with "DiskUtility".

(it is an application called "Kext Helper", it does good job if you don't know "how to" manually)
