daveinreallife Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hi, I've installed iDeneb 10.5.5 on my Inspiron 1525 notebook. It appears to have installed correctly, however when trying to boot into OSX it pops up a screen saying I have to restart my computer. Why is this? Is it similar to a Windows Blue Screen? What can I do to fix it? I'm new at this stuff so the more info the better. Thanks.

Lanceomni Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Reboot using -v and see where it hangs. You can also try -v -f and -v -f -x Place your system specs in your signature will better help us help you.

daveinreallife Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hey, thanks for the responses, I have figured it out. I thought I could use the install disk to add/remove options... yeah, no. Turns out it installed the whole thing again... somehow, so both installations were conflicting. Anyway, I reinstalled and now have a new issue (Yay). I seem to not have the correct kext file for my graphics chipset (Intel GM965) so it displays half a screen on the left half of my screen (get that?!) and the image appears to be interlaced with black lines as so the screen looks broken up. Does anyone know where I can get the proper kext file for my notebook?
