Terc Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by "with the DVD" as well as how you installed this? Is this a torrented pre-hacked disk, or are you using boot-132, or what? What kexts are you using? What video card? How did you enable your card, efi string, kext, or kext edit? Elaborate if you want some help. If I were to tell my mechanic that my car wouldn't start and expect him to tell me how to fix it, I doubt he'd be much help.

JuzzMann Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 okay...here is more info I installed using Kalyway's 10.5.2 DVD and made a GUID partition and i updated to 10.5.5, and did a full time machine backup, then i realized i didn't want GUID so i put the DVD back and used disk utility to partition using MBR, i then proceeded to restore by time machine using an iAtkos 10.5.1 DVD, because kalyway's doesn't work to restore with time machine. When i finished i had to follow the guide i posted above so the bootloader would boot. And that is when my trouble began. When i booted without the DVD it went to the blue screen with the cursor, and when i did use the DVD, it was PERFECT!...i had all my kexts installed in the time macine restore, i have NVInject 256MB, because i have an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS 256MB. In addition, i also used Kabyl's kernel for sleep for SSE3. Specs: Pentium D 820 2.8GHz 3 GB 533 MHZ RAM NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS 256MB 500 GB Seagate SATA HD if i'm still missing something, please let me know, i would rele like to solve this problem..

Terc Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 So, when you say you boot WITH the dvd, you mean it's just in the drive, or are you actually booting from the dvd?
