skeeter144 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hey, i'm sure this is listed somewhere... i've searched several times and found nothing.. so sorry if it is! I've installed 10.4.6 via the JaS DVD. It worked fine. I installed the MacVidia drivers and now i'm stuck at the gray loading screen forever. How do I get a verbose boot.. or access the drive? I can't press F8. When booting it says "Loading Darwin X86" etc.. F8 doesn't do anything. What should I do?

Rammjet Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Catching the right time to press F8 is sometimes tricky. When you boot, as soon as the screen goes black, start tapping the F8 key - even before it says "Loading Darwin...". When you get the prompt, then you can enter -v for verbose mode.

skeeter144 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thank You! Is there a way to get a prompt so that I can remove the trouble kexts? Is there a list of these boot options?
