Permaspooked Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hi guys. I usually post on the insanelywind forums. Im assuming you guys are sister sites. So if this counts as a double post i apoligise. I just noticed diffrent users here and figured you guys might be better at helping me with the problem. So i am unable to get a resolution other than 800x600. So here it goes. I installed sno leo. The problem is that when i try installing the gma950 kext but when i do i get a grey screen after the loading grey apple screen. Im almost posiitive thats teh issue. Here is the breakdown of what i did. Ok so this is exactly where im at -used leo snow with basic kext to get loading and working(did not install the gma kext) -installed 6.3. update then used the patch so i can reboot so it will still work -installed realtek wifi ulitily -get Can’t make "0" into type boolean. (-1700) when trying to add efi string in osx86 -similar result when loading updateEFI(crashes with cant change zero or something like that) Thanks for Reading and i hope you guys can help. Once again im sorry if you count this as a double post. I just figured it would be seen by the right people over here. THANKS for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permaspooked Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Im willing to do another install. If someone can point me in the right direction to fix the problem. Because the of o type in booleon error i cant add kext or add efi strings. So im most likely gonna need to reinstall anyway to fix. Other info might be of help would be its setup with MBR not GUID. I used a snow leopard iso by daemon? 10.6.2 i think but as you can see i up it to 6.3. hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riws Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Take NetBookInstaller, it changes for you the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permaspooked Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 I just killed the install trying to use kext helper b7. I tried manually installing the intelmacgma950.kext and the buffer one. Gave me a grey screen after the loading apple screen. So i have to reinstall again. I know its probably not necissary because the msi wind all have pretty much the same specs but here is the full spec sheet of mine.

Permaspooked Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I decided to try the vanilla install over on insanelywind but i get the you must restart computer screen after using efi finisher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permaspooked Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 I GOT IT!! I was partioning in MBR when i should of been in GUID. Thats why the netbook installer app didnt work. It worked after an install with GUID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permaspooked Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 updateEFI kills my install. It does it everytime i just tried it. i used netbook installer with 10.6.2 gave me propper resolution. Updated to 6.3 lost resolution. Ran updateEFI. Wont boot. I get the you need to turn of your computer messge. UPDATE: I was able to get back in with out a re-install by loading up the install USB. And installing just the chomeleon and kernel. I used the atom kernel and i used chameleon 2 rc4 10.6. Then i re installed netbook installer reboot and it works but now instead of the spinning apple logo i see whole terminal loading screens showing everything that happens. Is there anyway to go back to the spinning logo screen? UPDATE 2: Heres a vid of boot up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
