Will V Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 What's going on people? So I've been configuring my HP laptop for about 4 days already. Installing drivers and trying to get all the devices working fine using Leo4all 10.5.2. The whole time i've kept the laptop plugged into the power cable and after having the laptop and on battery power for the first time the system halts upon bootup at the following line (during the darwin loading screen) Mac OS Version: 9C7010 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Sun Mar 2 00:35:29 SCT 2008; made by ToH:xnu-1228/BUILD/obj/RELEASE_I386 System model name: HP Compaq nc4200 So the system just stops there and does not continue to boot up. I did installed power management during the installation process (dont know if this is because of that). Now if i boot up the laptop with the power cable plugged in, then it boots up just fine. Any ideas? Thanks you, Will V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will V Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hmm... To be honest i dont know (dont even know what the ACPI is LOL) I know that during the OS X installation when while on the customized screen it mentioned that it will install ACPI 1.0 as a default if none was selected (if i choose Power Management which i did since i have a laptop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gujal Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 @ Shawn6 On your Desktop, it is not a keyboard issue, search for "Welcome loop" on the forum. Basically you need a usable network connection (such as ethernet, Com1:, Firewire, etc) inside OSX to complete the initial setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution: 1. Run single user mode using the -s flag while booting i.e. type -s at the "boot:" prompt and wait for the prompt ":/ root#" to appear (I had to boot -s twice and press Enter after the static cursor appeared to get the prompt; you may not need to), type each of the following lines, followed by Enter and then waiting for ":/ root#" to re-appear. 2. Mount the file system by typing "mount -uw /" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 3. Change the root password by typing "passwd root" at the ":/ root#" prompt and then typing in a new root password and retyping it again as requested. 4. Create the .AppleSetupDone file by typing "touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt 5. Boot the system by typing "exit" (without quotes) at the ":/ root#" prompt. 6. Reboot from HDD with "-v -f" and the OS X Login screen is presented; enter "root" as Name and for Password, the root password chosen previously, and the system logs you in as System Administrator.
