StarkIndustries Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I keep getting KP's on boot due to my video card. I tried to download the 10.6 pci efi , but cant figure out how to install it. I tried booting into single user mode and using the command line, but I cant get the USB drive to mount. I cant boot into safe mode, as it hangs. Any advice? Ubuntu Live CD wont work, and Mac drive doesnt work either. transmac doesnt even read the partition.

oldnapalm Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You can boot in single user mode and move the video kexts out of the extensions folder, then the system should boot and you can fix things. If it doesn't boot even without video drivers, check this instructions for mounting USB drive in single user mode http://www.macsage.com/mounting-usb-drive-...ngle-user-mode/ If it doesn't work you can boot the installation DVD and use the terminal, the USB drive should be mounted if you boot with it attached.

StarkIndustries Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 i booted into single user mode and got the drive to mount, then i cp /file into /Volumes/HDD. i also did a cp -f to force it and it seemed to work. I restarted and got the same kernel panic caused by my video card in slot 1. i guess 10.6 didnt work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/210928-installing-pc-efi-106-on-unbootable-sl-system/#findComment-1411188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
