onelegend Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I installed Snow Leopard on my system using Hazard's 10.6.6 Distro on my Qosmio x505 Notebook It's got a nVidia GTX 460M GFX Card an Core i5 I had to remove all of the firewire kexts in order to get it to boot. Every time I boot my system I get a grey loading bar that takes about 3 mins. This is what happens when the system boots. I think my system is running an fsck check on each boot. Is there anyway to stop it from doing this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259174-grey-loading-bar-on-every-reboot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 It is loading all kexts on every boot instead of loading Extensions.mkext (it shouldn't normally do so). You might run a Disk Repair via Disk Utility. Other thing to consider is to check if there is "-f" boot flag present in apple.com.Boot.plist. In any case, it is not a healthy practice do remove many kexts at once.

Gringo Vermelho Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 You will also have to install the Quadro 4000 drivers from nvidia. The nvidia drivers that ship with OS X don't support your video card.

onelegend Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 No dash -f in my boot.plist Do you have a link for the Quattro drivers? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/259174-grey-loading-bar-on-every-reboot/#findComment-1697428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 The nvidia Quadro drivers are available in the same place as all other nvidia drivers.
