[HELP] P8P67 LE Boot Hang

[godslam]

I've tried regae's way, Andy's way and pretty much every other way. They all end up doing the same thing. I put the disc in, eject at the proper screen and put in my retail disc. After that I start up my retail. I install on the only HDD that I have hooked up. It installs fine and I do a reboot, select the HDD and finish the install. Once I can see my actual desktop, I copy my files over to it and I use the 10.6.7 update. It installs fine and then I restart like I should. This is where the issues occurs. I get to the boot CD and select the HDD for Snow Leopard. Then it just hangs here. When on Andy boot, the screen just has an Apple logo and a dial showing that it's attempting to load. On regae's boot CD it has verbose mode on, so I can see everything. I'll attach the best picture I could take.

 

Regae's Boot CD

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: I have also tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Legacy and it caused my graphics card's fan to speed up quite a bit. So I have thrown that disc away.

 

EDIT 2: I tried not updating to 10.6.7 and just putting on [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. This didn't work and it hung again. Still not sure what the issue is.

Yeah I have been pulling out my hair with this issue as well. So far Andy cd (ver 4 and 5) have been successful in allowing me to install 10.6.3. I can use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install the proper kexts. However If I attempt to update to 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 I can no longer boot up, neither in safe mode, verbose or both at the same time. I have been seeing a lot of people are having similar issues with their video card being a xfx5770 (which I have in my rig).

I too tried [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] methos but unfortunately the only version of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] that would work is the legacy version which still ended up with an inability to upgrade.

It might be a good idea to list the hardware you are using, this may allow more people pinpoint the problem.

I ended up swapping my LE for an M PRO. But I got further by switching video cards and installing the stuff that I needed to from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] that way. I suggest installing the install package, but not restarting right away. Then you open MB and install the stuff you need to from there. I think is one thing that helped.

 

Also, when I tried GraphicsEnabler=No on boot, I was able to get past the white screen where it freezes. So if you're getting that, then try that boot option to avoid a freeze. Your stuff will move very slowly once you do this, but it will at least boot and then you won't have any issues for a bit while you try to fix everything. These are the options that helped me, so hopefully they help you, too. Good luck. If you have any questions, just post here and I'll see if I can help.
