SLiM1987 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hello... Today I've installed OSx86 on my Notebook. All fine, but there is one problem. I just can boot in safe mode (-x), not in normal mode. I deleted the three files from above. The Logo with the grey Apple shows, but nothing happens then... What could be the Problem? Thanks for Answers and sorry for my bad English EDIT::: I could solve the Problems by deleting 2 Files out of the system/Library/Extensions Folder )) Greetings from Germany...

katz Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 same problem... platform=X86PC -x Works Without Platform not Singlemode and normal mode Stack with platform at the same spot like mistapony´s screenshot if someone knows what i should change/delete pllz Post Path and Filename Thx With platform=X86PC you're turning off ACPI .... so something within OSX is breaking when you leave it enabled. Look at your ACPI settings in your BIOS or disable the AppleACPIPlatform.kext ... Give it a shot and see.

warlord Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Could fix it! It runs with platform=X86PC The Reason why he didnt start in normal mode was the Grafic Drivers ! It want´s to boot the ati drivers but they dont work so i deleted them in save mode and viola... He boots in normal mode because Vesa is the only driver and now all work fine just sound and W-Lan doesnt work but thats not a big problem oh and sleep and doesnt work ^^ on shutdown or Reboot the Laptop frezzes so i have to Press the Standby Button but thats also no Problem ^^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2605-so-close-but-yet-so-far/#findComment-20224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
