Installed but trouble booting..

[TB_206]

Hi everybody

 

I have been using OSX 10.5.1 on an old IBM T41 some time ago with nearly everything working perfectly, but now I wanted to try it on my Zepto laptop.

 

It's installed just fine using vanilla kernel and NVInjectGO.

 

But here is the problem.

 

It boots just fine, it starts the GUI - but then something goes wrong. I can see the cursor in the top left corner and I can mode the cursor around, but i do not get the background and the login window

 

If I boot into safe mode (using -x) then it's showing the GUI correct, I get background and I get the login window.

 

Can anybody help me with this issue?

 

Laptop specs are:

 

Intel 945PM/ICH7-M chipset

Core Duo 2.0GHz

nVidia GeforceGO 7300GS 256Mb (it might be a 7600 can't remember..)

Intel 2200 IPW wireless

Realtek HD sound

120Gb HD on SATA

DVD drive on PATA

 

Sorry forgot about distro It's Kalyway 10.5.2

NVinjectGo is causing issues for your system.

 

When you're booted in -x go to /System/Library/Extensions/ and move the NVinjectGo.kext to the desktop, then delete the /System/Library/Extensions.mkext FILE (not the Extensions folder), then reboot. You won't have hardware acceleration (it'll be like safe mode) but you'll be able to download/try other methods.

Great I'll try that right away It might be an nvinject issue though as I have also tried with the normal nvinject.
