lolipop Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 hey guys, i've recently read chunans topic in how to install PCCardFamily and PCIFamily... I installed it and saved the original ones on desktop..right after i rebooted, the kernel panicked! It showed me a screen where it said that Mac OSX version was not yet set! and didnt boot...afterwards i read like 1000 threads on how to solve it and i couldnt find the answer...now, i try to boot with -x or -f, and everything goes right untill login security window...After that, it doesnt show the Mac OSX enviroment...instead it stays on darwin and i type in my password and click enter, and still stays in darwin.. Note: i typed in the password without even seeing the Mac OSX interface...Like, when i saw darwin saying that login window had started, and when it didnt load any login window and stayed on the darwin interface, i typed the password and clicked enter, and what do u know..it exited the loginwindow service and still didnt bring up the mac interface... I really need help on restoring my mac interface, or just booting normally..do i need to get the old kext files that i replaced and put them back into the Extensions folder? if so...please do tell me how i can do that...cause im really stuck :s... Thanks in advance and i hope u can help me...
