Macmania Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 When trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2 I didn't get any error messages but my last two lines were my ethernet address (saying that they found my ethernet) and AppleNForceATA: found 0 units but when I tried to boot in safe mode the last line said cs_invalid_page: p=72[ATSServer] Clearing CS_VALID i don't know what that means when I booted in verbose mode it looked like it was trying to work but it just gave me a white blank box Edit/Delete Message Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140090-the-apple-logo-keeps-spinning-after-successful-install-what-to-do/#findComment-998390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
