Apple logo freeze! Cant Boot in the osx

[kudejudas]

Hi.

I try to change my .plist in the terminal ( sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist )

But somehow i total damage my hackintsoh.

 

Using the command -s and typing the sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist i am able to see my plist:

 

Right now i have this

 

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>custom</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string></string>

<key>Boot Graphics</key>

<string>yes</string>

<key>Quiet Boot</key>

<string>No</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>5</string>

 

 

Impossible to reboot. I try to change my grapic board driver (Atix1600) so i can have QE. Huge mistake.

Any ideias how can i restore my drivers to enter the osx and do some backups?

Boot with install DVD. Open Terminal. Then do the same editing with nano. This time the path to com.apple.Boot.plist be slight different.

sudo nano /Volumes/DiskWhereOSXisInstalledName/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Now edit this line

<key>Kernel</key>
	 <string>custom</string>

to

	<key>Kernel</key>
  <string>mach_kernel</string>

I the first example OS X is set to boot with the kernel named "custom" which is obviously ain't going to happen, cos' there are no kernel named "custom". The default OS X kernel is named

mach_kernel

So your goal is to restore the default settings. There could be other kernels on the disk (depending on what was installed). I you'd like for one of them to be the default kernel, enter that kernel's name instead of mach_kernel. Like

	<key>Kernel</key>
	<string>voodoo</string>

for the kernel named voodoo.

 

You can also obtain an original version of the com.apple.Boot.plist file and replace the spoiled one with the original one.

Thanks Das Human... For some strange reason i can not figure out, the dvd doesnt boot anyomore (i made some new ones, with very slow writing speed, and nothing, just black screen and no booting at all!)

 

Do you advice me to make a bootable disk from a usb pendrive and try to run it from there?

Check the BIOS settings. What is set to be the first boot device. Make it a DVD drive.

If your DVD drive is willing to die, then yes, try it.
