dunkmaster Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've been trying to add Quartz Extreme capability for my ATI RADEON 4650 HD. I put my install disk (iAtkos v7) in my drive and used a "driver-install" to use the ATI HD Driver (ATY_Init.kext) and now my leopard wont display anything. I tried booting into safe mode but i still dont see anything. Any help is appreciated.

I have no other earthly idea other than to delete the kext from the terminal but i don't know how to get there from chameleon bootloader.

Press the F8 key when the machine starts to post when you get to the option to press any key do it you will now be at the Darwin boot prompt where you type in then hit enter key -s to boot single user mode, follow the instructions on the fsck and mounting of the / file system read/write the r/w command now once there rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Name_of_kext_installed.kext to remove it. Then reboot to restart the machine where you do the -f after using F8 steps again to force the reloading of the caches so the system will see the changes now that I mention that use the following lines below before the reboot step to have deleted them. rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/Caches rm -r /System/Library/Caches rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext Hopefully everything will be back to where you were before the install of the errant .kext.
