Can only boot in verbose mode

[kLacK]

Hello,

 

I am new this this, and have gotten my Dell XPS 410 to install OSX. I followed these directions to a T:

except I have a Nvidia 8800GTX, so I chose that card.

 

My only problem is I am not able to boot with the default options. I must always use -v to boot into OSX. Any ideas?

Your kext permissions are incorrect. Open Terminal and type:

 

sudo chmod -R 755 /S*/L*/E*
sudo chown -R root:wheel /S*/L*/E*
sudo touch /S*/L*/E*

 

and then reboot

Thank you for the tip, however it did not work. Previously I tried fixing permissions with Disk Utility.

 

Also, I tried it with just -v, and it worked. I find this strange it seems to only boot when verbose mode is on. Could it be some incompatibility with display driver and splash screen? One error I get in verbose mode (even though it still boots) is:

 

display: family specific matching fails

 

Don't know if it is related, but the aspect ratio is incorrect when showing the boot splash screen too.

 

Ok got it working, updating to Chameleon 2 RC2 fixed the problem.

 

Only worked once, now I have the option to ignore cache and that always works... hmm

Ok, I have it working consistently now, it seems that permissions must be fixed after EVERY TIME -f is used.
