lbraasch Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 hold shift while it's booting before you see the grey apple screen. Release shift when you see that screen. You are now loading into safe boot. If it boots fine with the graphics not all scrambled, then you know your issue. I would then figure out which video card you have, and backup and delete all the .plist files in system/library/extensions/ folder with the designation for your card. I.e. if you have an ATI chipset, delete all with ATI in the name. However, do not delete your backup, as you may be able to use them in the future to unlock CI and QE.

thewhitestpony Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I have a shuttle sd31p barebone. It has an intel gma 950 accelerated graphics on board. I will try the shift method.. Can you be more specific on what I have to do? It has the Intel 945g express chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhitestpony Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 all of the files in the extensions folder that corespond to the graphics accelerator are . kext files and .bundle files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxonmylaptop Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hi, I've the same problem, did you find a solution yet? If I delete those extensions, what happens? It will boot correctly? Thanks PS: Watching porn without decoder would be a lot funny and less frustrating! PS2: At least my screen looks nicer than yours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxonmylaptop Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Listen: I've moved (or delete) all Intel .kext from /System/Library/Extension to a backup folders, removed Extensions.kextcache and Extension.mkext and now it boots OK (normal mode) Then reinstaled GMA950 support from JAS 10.4.7 DVD and now have Core Image and Quartz Extreme Supported Great! I read this from another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
