nickcas Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 A few days ago I installed the Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD onto my Gateway ML6721 Laptop. After trial and error of using modified ps/2 kexts for my keyboard and mouse I was finally able to install it by using -f -x at boot. After installing I booted with -f -x and set up an account. After restarting, I booted with -f -s to get out of safemode, and into the normal OS. Everything was fine. Then yesterday I restarted and couldn't boot with -f -s anymore. Half the time it would load with a jumbled frozen screen, and the other half of the time it wouldn't get past a certain part at the screen with the black backround and white font (shown below). Infact, the only thing I could use to boot was -f -x. (I need -f to load my ps/2 kexts, unless there's another way?). I reinstalled kalyway 10.5.2, but the same error is happening. I'd like to boot to the normal OS, because in safemode I can't use my wireless realtek. Here are my specs: Specifications Condition: Refurbished Operating Systems: Windows® Vista™ Home Premium Platform: Notebook PC Expansion Ports: 1 - Express Card Slot/54 PS/2 Keyboard Connectors: N/A PS/2 Mouse Connectors: N/A Serial Communication Ports: N/A Parallel Ports: N/A USB Ports: 4 FireWire Ports: N/A Fast Infrared Ports (FIR): N/A LAN Ports: 1 Modem Ports: 1 Audio Out Jacks: 1 Line In Jacks: N/A Microphone Jacks: 1 VGA Ports: 1 S-Video Connectors: N/A DVI Video: N/A Port Replicator/Connector: N/A Processor Brand: Intel Processor Class: Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2310 Processor Speed: 1.46GHz Processor FSB: 533MHz Processor Cache: 1MB Memory Type: DDR2 Memory Size: 1GB (512MB x 2) Memory Speed: DDR2 533 Memory Slots (Total): 2 Memory Slots (Available): 0 Maximum Memory Supported: 2GB Capacity: 160GB (5400 RPM) Optical Drive Type: Dual Layer DVD±RW/RAM with LabelFlash Supplemental Drive Type: Media Reader Capacity: 5-in-1 Media Types: SecureDigital Memory Stick xD-Picture Card Memory Stick PRO Multi Media Card Audio Description: Integrated Audio Audio Chipset: Hi-Definition (HD) Audio Support Graphics Description: Integrated Graphics GPU/VPU: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 Video Memory: up to 384MB Shared Video Interface: VGA Communications Description: Integrated LAN Integrated Modem Integrated Wireless LAN Interface Type: RJ-11 Phone Connector RJ-45 Ethernet Connector 802.11a+b/g Wireless Neworking Data Transfer Rate: 10/100Mbps NIC 56Kbps Modem 54 Mbps Protocols: V.92 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g Width: 14.09" 330 mm Height: 1.31" - 1.40", 33 - 36 mm Depth: 10.39", 264 mm Weight: 6.24 lbs Mouse Type: Touch Pad Buttons: 2 Scrolling Capability: Vertical Scroll Up/Down Keyboard Type: Fullsize Display Type: WXGA TFT LCD Viewable Screen Size: 15.4" Maximum Resolution: 1280 x 800 Battery Type: 6-Cell Lithium-ion Battery Life: N/A When I booted with -v, it froze here: rtl__r1000__ext: Ethernet address 00:e0:b8:e1:c4:53 Here is a few lines leading up to that: dsmes: Initializing... dsmes: Hook and decryption contexts set! dsmes: Starting...

Also, I have Macdrive, which allows me to view and read and write to my Leopard drive from Vista. I am dualbooting Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 and Kalyway 10.5.2 If you need any more information let me know. Thanks.

mschilling Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I had success on a similar Gateway with the X3100 graphics using iATKOS v4 with the vanilla kernel, stock files, sata, and X3100 driver checked.

nickcas Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks for that, but I already had this working, and I just want to see what the problem is.
