Fire and Glass Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I am running a hackintosh on 10.5.5 that i installed from the retail disc using bootloader generic 132. I have an Intel DG33TL mobo and a C2D SSE2/SEE3 processor. If I dont type -v -f at the chameleon screen every time I boot my computer it will just hang at the white screen with the apple logo. If i do type -v -f it boots no problem. I am using a vanilla kernel and everything works find but that. Here are pictures of each step that happens when I boot in verbose mode. If i need to post more information please let me know Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210917-v-f-on-every-boot-or-osx-wont-load/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire and Glass Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 so i checked every box in OSX86 tools and clicked "Run Selected Task". It seems to have solved most of the problem but I still cant restart. Any ideas?????

oldnapalm Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Are the pictures of boot using "-v -f"? If so, boot only with "-v" and see where it stops. Maybe you just need to rebuild the cache (remove Extensions.mkext or use Kext Utility).

einhornchen Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yea, as said the -v flag will tell you where you're having the problem. Chances are it's in one of the extensions. You'll likely either have to remove that extension, or replace it with one that doesnt build a faulty cache.

Fire and Glass Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 a bit of progress was made. when i booted using -v it never gave me an error, it just booted fine. so i went into the BIOS of my Intel DG33TL and changed my state from S1 to S3. Now it will start fine by just pressing enter at the darwin boot screen. Still cant restart but its overrated anyways, im happy for what ive got Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210917-v-f-on-every-boot-or-osx-wont-load/#findComment-1416092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
