xhidex Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hello, I have updated my 10.5.4 with the tutorial linked in homepage of insanelymac.... When I boot my hackintosh, and the finder should come up, I got a black screen with never ending turning spindle (after a light blue backround disappear) ... It's seems Finder cannot load in normal mode... I have tried to follow the info here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=126309 for the davkit but nothing change... I have restored my kexts and kernel .... may it's some kext hanging? I have tried to install natit, new nvinstall also...but nothing change... Any idea? Thanks!

smikes19 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have the same issue. I upgraded to 10.5.5 using the apple delta installer. I was running iAtkos v4. Hopefully someone will have an answer for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le-Bebop Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi ! always precise your software config and hardware config etc etc.... I had the black screen too, and my hack was only able to start under safe mode. It was my graphics kext (I had already replaced AppleHDA / SMBIOS). Because Apple has chaged something concerning the graphics, the old kext from native install (for me Kaly 10.5.2) do not work this time. I found it HERE.. It's just a suggestion concerning graphics kext.. I'm not sure about that. and there are active post concerning 10.5.5 problems here and here..

adamsweeting Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Do you guys still have the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext in /System/Library/Extensions, or did you already remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smikes19 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm aware of the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. I've removed it, since it causes a kernel panic when used. Here is my setup: iAtkos v4 updated to 10.5.5 using Apple delta installer vanilla 9.4 kernel (before upgrade) ECS G31T-M motherboard Intel E8400 CPU ATI HD 2600 XT PCIe I've moved aside all ATIRadeon*.kext to another folder. When I reboot in normal mode, just like the OP, I get a blue screen with a spinning disk. When I boot into safe mode, I get a blue screen, then a console with some output, then the blue screen again in an unending loop. Its as if the window manager has trouble starting for some reason.
