Can't boot after Protools Install

[deept3]

Hello everyone

 

My hackintosh runs beautifully, can't believe it works that great.

The whole purpose I made it is to run Protools on it. And this is where the problem lies.

I've installed using iAtkos S3 just because I had it. and it ran really good straight from the box after selecting the relevant drivers.

Since I have two spare hard drives for this one, I made one of the a Time machine backup harddrive.

 

Now my problem is this:

 

Everytime I try to install Protools 8, after the installation it requires a restart.

And after the restart the system won't boot normally or in verbose mode.

it WILL boot in safeboot but i can't figure how to recover using time machine from there, or it doesn't work for some reason (i don't see the graphics and time warp thingie... i just get two finder windows and that's it)

in verbose mode i noticed it kernel panics on ATIX2000 and shows it's dependencies too.

 

I haven't installed that driver so i don't know why it shows up.

I haven't repaired permissions or tried to boot with flags other than -x -v or -f

 

My system specs:

[CPU: Intel Q6600, MB: Asus P5Q-Pro, RAM: Some OCZ 4Gb 1066, VGA: Sapphire Radeon 4870X2, HD: 250gig and 500gigs both SATA, DVD: Samsung]

 

thanks everyone!

Don't waste your time with distros, especially on great hardware like that, most boards in the P5Q series are 99% retail compatible, very few patches are required.

 

Use retail install media and a suitable boot CD.

 

Italian user buoo has a great topic going with boot CDs for most of the P5Q series boards, including the P5Q Pro.
