Rippance Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Dear everyone, As you've noticed I might be bombing with questions at the moment.. forgive me, total newbie Next problem: I managed to install and login to a session succesfully. I changed the following in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist: <key>Timeout</key> <string>10</string> <key>Quiet Boot</key> <string>No</string> To create a dualboot option. But when I boot into OS X now, after the grey Apple logo / verbose mode it goes to a blue screen and then does nothing. Any tip to solve this, or do I need to reïnstall again Perhaps is there a possibilty to remove those keys+strings using the install DVD? EDIT: I can't boot from the DVD anymore. It just gives me the blue screen again. EDIT2: even when i destroy Mac's partitions and try to install - blue screen pops up. Perhaps its no Mac for me at this point Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26058-another-question-blue-screen-after-successfull-osx-session-boot-from-dvd-not-possible/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Are you running a laptop? Many laptop users have this problem - try plugging an external monitor in...

Rippance Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Yes, I am.

Jussi Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Other thing is are you selecting all of the extra mods/patches when you do the install? I had a similar problem when I Played with some things on mine - I then reinstalled, and selected ALL the patches available - even the amd ones and it worked - dont ask me why. you will have to manually copy the mach_kernel file from the dvd if you do it that way though. BTW it would be helpful if you listed your machines specs...

Rippance Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thats right. I installed with the correct patches for my system. System specs: HP NC6120 laptop Intel Pentium M 1.73 SSE2 512MB DDR Using install disk based on JaS 10.4.7 on a DVD+R Intel GMA900 in 915 southbridge 60GB HDD Thats about it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26058-another-question-blue-screen-after-successfull-osx-session-boot-from-dvd-not-possible/#findComment-176889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippance Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Ok I just did a _complete_ reïnstall, but guess what? Same problem occurs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26058-another-question-blue-screen-after-successfull-osx-session-boot-from-dvd-not-possible/#findComment-176927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwidjaja1 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Now even though this may seem strange, odd, and a little premitive, try using the paperclip/2 wire trick. Normally the external monitor would work however, its worth a try. Basicly you have to take a small, metallic paperclip and stick into holes 2 and 12. (I can't find the pic) Hole 2 is the second hole from the right, top row. Hole 12 is the second hole from the right, bottom row. Or you can check this nice picture with the holes pre marked http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...ost&p=54242 (While the picture also marked connecting holes 1 and 6, users have soon found out that only holes 2 and 12 are necessary to boot Mac OSX) I hope this helps, Good Luck!
