DoctorMad Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I just install the iPC OSX 5.6 Final on my Intel PC and getting a "big" Problem. After the install finish every time during the boot the computer like Mac boot screen show up for 30 sec then freeze and turn into black and light blue screen for 3~5mins. After the freeze and lag gone it boot in mac as normal (operating normal)like the early version that I used. I try to boot with option -V but there no error showing and after the text scroll and the blue and light blue screen showing again. Is there anyone can tell what is wrong with this?

I need to know the kexts you used and drivers when customizing. I found once when I updated that it was the kext that was causing the problem. Using an older one is sometimes the safer option. Consider it....tell me how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorMad Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I need to know the kexts you used and drivers when customizing. I didn't use any kext so far. During the Customize Setup I just clicks the following option: iPC 5.6 Basic system 2 Lanuages (Chinese and Japanese) Video driver is NVdarwin 256MB Firewire Mount Fix Kext helper B7 OSx86 Tool Utility NTFS-3G + MacFuse CPU-X Universal OSx86 Installer That is all I select during the Installation. The problem that I mention happen after installation done on first boot and each time it boot. I have try like 10+ times with different settings(keep select less option) but still no luck to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesnt help, and only AFTER try this, dont even select customize, just install without drivers. Tell me how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this doesnt help, and only AFTER try this, dont even select customize, just install without drivers. Tell me how it goes. I am having the same issue. Here's my OP in a thread I started yesterday: I am having an issue with my iPC 10.5.6 install where there is a ~4 minute black screen delay right after the graphics driver loads in the boot process. By "black screen", I mean that the monitors are getting a signal, they are just displaying solid black. The process is like this: System POST -> White loading screen with Apple logo and spinning indicator (1 minute) -> black screen for 4 minutes -> blue screen for 10 seconds -> OSX desktop Previously, I was running Kalyway 10.5.4 with NVInject, no such issues. I've installed iPC 10.5.6 several times. The first time, I installed NVInject, I had the same issue. On my later installs, I generated an EFI string for graphics in the com.apple.Boot.plist file. It really does seem like this issue is graphics related, as it happens only after I install the EFI string or inject kext. Here is my hardware setup: GA-EP35-DS3L motherboard ASUS 8800GT Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor 4 GB DDR2 667 2 hard drives on ICH9 SATA Sony DVD-RW on 3rd ICH9 SATA Here's how I installed iPC 10.5.6: Initial install, base system only, no drivers Installed ICH10 package post install from iPC disc Installed Intel ICH9 driver from GA-EP35-DS3X Control Center Installed ALC888 package post install from iPC disc Installed CHUD.pkg Installed shutdown, restart, SMBIOS fixes from GA-EP35-DS3X Control Center Created graphics EFI string with OSx86 tools Ran software update Ran permissions repair So my experience is I installed iPC with no drivers, when I added my EFI string for graphics, major boot slowdown.

Im sorry, but I dont think I can help you.....what is wrong with 10.5.4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is intrinsically wrong with 10.5.4, but I upgraded to 10.5.6 so I could run iLife 09. I figured with this hackintosh stuff, OS upgrades always have the potential to be a bit dicey. Also, I figured that the GA-P35-DS3L and 8800GT are popular hardware combinations, I'm sure someone has run into this issue before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonehenry Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have this same problem. It happened after I used OSx86 Tools to edit my com.apple.Boot.plist in order for my graphics card to work on it. Of course I didn't know everything I was doing, so it restarted into a VERY slow OSx. I eventually managed to get my backupboot.plist set as my primary, but then I ended up with the solid black screen after everything gets booted up.So now I am using MacDrive on my dual windows 7/snow leopard machine to try and get in and make my Boot.plist right again. So I've got a default Boot.plist that I downloaded from here. No such luck yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardware: Motherboard: Gigabyte P35C-DS3R CPU: Intel Q6600 Memory: 6GB DDR2 800 Video card: EVGA Geforce 8600 256mb I have found that most of these kinds of problems are related to folks not installing the right fixes/patches for their machines. If you Google and find the right fixex/patches that you must select when you're installing, you'd see that most of these problems will go away. There's someone out there who has your exact or similar machine who has spent months of sleepless nights trying to get it right, and once they did, were kind enough to post that information on what to select at install online. Also, you may want to plug in your particular hardware---say video card---in Google and see what kext is out there for it. Bottom line: read, read and read before you start.
