ahoymehearties Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I just can't leave well enough alone. I had me a perfectly stable 10.5.6 install (twice now) and just HAD to get what I feel are Mac-essential programs. Unfortunately, both these programs, iLife 09 and Quicktime 7.6, require a restart as they install something that borks my setup (replicated this error once with each program). Image attached: Sorry about the poor angle, but the "bad stuff" still shows. These programs seem to initiate some unresolvable I/O error, so I can't even boot. Here are my system specs: Intel Core2Duo 6750 at stock speed EVGA nforce 650i mobo 4gb Ram (attempted boot using maxmem=2048 cpus=1 to be safe) Vooodoo 9.5 beta 2 kernel Nforce fixes compiled by Mysticus implemented in this case (nforceATA, nforceLAN et al). I've tried disconnecting all USB devices to no avail. Has anyone seen this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahoymehearties Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Can you boot into safe mode ? (-x) It does look like usb issues I'm an idiot...didn't even know how to boot into safe mode! I have to run to work, but I'll give a report later. Any chance a safe mode boot could cause OS X to do logical repairs on itself as Windows might do? By the way, seriously appreciate the help. I'd heard some "NMA" type things about this board, but I'm glad those voices seem to have been proven wrong. Can you boot into safe mode ? (-x) It does look like usb issues I realized I had a couple of minutes...enough to discover that it's an ixnay on the afemode-say. The panic happens very shortly after the initialization process, just after the loading data changes to the smaller Darwin format. I'm not against re-installing again, if I can avoid this in the future. I'm not sure why the heck these programs need new USB formats anyway...

Ya boot into safe mode and try to repair permissions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahoymehearties Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ya boot into safe mode and try to repair permissions Afraid I can't boot into safe mode. I would repair permissions after installing one of these programs, but they install on their own and restart immediately after. Is there a way to avoid a problem like this before it starts? I'm not sure why Quicktime or iLife need to modify system resources, so is there a way to block them from doing so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
