Dave29 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hello guys, I have a very big problem with my hackintosh. The installation worked just fine and without any problems. When I boot the first time everything looks fine and i can setup my machine. But when i restart it, it just freezes at loading the desktop. Only the wallpaper is shown but there are no desktop icons or other things. But sometimes everything seems to work and i can do everything i want, but after a short time, the hackintosh freezes again (cannot click at anything, cursor shows the "loading circle" ^^). So i have to reboot my machine. And sometimes the hackintosh freezes already when i try to boot. But the last message is always another than before. For example sometimes it is "localhost date[61]: date set by root" but another time it is "sandbox_compilerd[51]: find_compiler pthread_cond_timedwait e=60 (Operation timed out). I already tried iAtkos 5i and iPC 10.5.6 and a lot of different kernels (Vanilla, Voodoo, StageXNU, ...) but I'm always getting the same result. I don't know what I can do to solve this problem. Here's my hardware: CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6300 Mainboard: Don't know exactly, but chipset is VIA P4M890 RAM: 2 GB GPU: Asus Radeon 4850 If you need more informations to help me, just ask Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155922-random-freezes-1056/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJack Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had some sporadic freezing and programs crashing due to bad hard drive. I also had kernel panics because of my wireless NIC. I would advise you to first try booting in safe mode. For help with safe mode, go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455. If you are able to boot in safe mode successfully with no freezing then you can narrow things down to a device issue. Are you experiencing kernel panic?

Dave29 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks for your answer, CaptainJack. I tried to boot with -x but it didn't change anything. My system just freezes when the desktop should load. What do you mean with kernel panics? Maybe any other possible solutions?

CaptainJack Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I never booted into safe mode using -x. I usually restarted the computer and held the shift keys. That did not work for you? I meant does it lock up aside from it pausing at the desktop? For example does the wheel stop spinning and the system becomes entirely unresponsive. If you are getting to the desktop then most likely the distro you are using will work on your system. It sounds like you might be clicking something in OS X setup that is not so compatible with your system. Try reinstalling with the bare minimum. Like don't enable any video, ethernet, audio kext, etc. You may want to check the OSx86 wiki as well. I would see if everything in your system has been confirmed to work. I learned that no matter what setup you have, there will be work to get everything functioning. Best of luck to ya!
