After days of research, finally I was able install Hackintosh on my new pc. I have used 10.6 retail DVD for installation and used the installation method mentioned in the below link. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=185097

 

during first boot after installation, I have copied all the kexts(as mentioned in the guide) including NVEnabler.kext, NVinject.kext, or NVkush.kext etc to extensions folder and updated boot caches.

 

However, during subsequent boots, all the initial scripts will run without any halts and gets stuck at Blue screen.

 

Even now, I will be able to Safe boot (with -x) but a regular boot halts at blue screen. Since I have already used the Graphic card related kexts, I have gone clueless now. Can someone please help me with solution for this issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

Try installing OS X again, this time using a newer method like tonymacx86's [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] guide. It's easy and it should support all your hardware.

on ur video card. if you're using DVI, use the VGA or put a dvi to vga adapter on dvi port.

I've had this issue creep up a few times with my machine. I had noticed the machine is running just fine, I can use screen sharing from my macbook to log-in and run the machine as I normally do. Usually a reboot fixes the issue for me. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems the display doesn't get initialized properly sometimes.

 

Try updating Chameleon to the latest, make sure Graphics Enabler is on in your com.apple.Boot.plist, and you may also need to set PCIRoot=1 in that file.

Usually a reboot fixes the issue for me.

try just turning monitor off and on, without restarting the computer. for some reason when i try to change the resolution, i get blank blue screen. computer works, but i can't see anything. once i could see as if there was a blue semi transparent layer over the screen. eventually i found out that just turning monitor off and on again brings picture back.

 

didn't have much time to play with it and find out what's really going on, but that will happen i believe soon

 

as for topic starter: try starting osx with this switch:

 

"graphics mode"="1024x768x32"

 

also, try what i said about the monitor, and see if that helps.

 

if you put pciroot=1, and your graphics card is in slot 0, you won't be able to boot at all, so don't change that. it obviously sees your card, but for some reason doesn't initialize it completely correctly. you get the resolution right, but don't know the rest.

 

cheers

Thanks for all your replies. Unfortunately, I am out of town for most part of this week. I will try to implement the suggestions that you guys have provided and then will update this post.

Thanks once again for all your help.

"Graphics mode"= "1024x768x32", Monitor turn on n off didn't do anything better. Graphics enabler is already on in com.apple.boot.plist. I have not tried pciroot=1 based on golliver's suggestion. I don't have a VGA to DVI Adapter. Have ordered for one. Once I get that will test the same and post the results.

 

In the mean time, please let me know if there are anything else to try. Finally if nothing works out I will go ahead with re installation as per RaymondBotha

 

Thanks to you all.

Update:

I have connected my LCD TV to CPU and hence, I'm able to see the Desktop. But it is completely frozen..there is nothing works on Desktop except the mouse Cursor which moves instantly. Is there a way to fix this. BTW even now my safeboot works fine.

Thanks,
