RaiZe Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just tried iAtkos 5.5 and installed fine. On startup it freezes on the Apple logo, I can only boot by typing -x When in safeboot, it says under Graphics "no kext loaded" . Is this because its in safe boot or because the drivers arent properly installed? I selected my video card "nVidia 8600GT" from the DVD install, but I dont know if its properly installed. Could this be why I cant get into OS X? when i run "-v" everything seems fine, the only thing i see odd is : ERROR: firewire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full secure display: family specific matching fails and some other drivers failed: AppleHDADriver Any help would be appreciated!

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Booting with -x prevents video and sound drivers from loading. There are ways to fix the Firewire issue if you look around a bit. I don't remember anymore. Look for a Firewire thread in the DSDT sub forum.

RaiZe Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ok so then that means its an issue with either my audio or video right? Can i disable those kexts altogether so I can log in normally or do I have to fix those issues before even logging in?

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 If your definition of logging in normally is without working graphics and sound, then yes, you can just delete them. Personally I would stay in safe mode, find out what's going on and try to fix it.

RaiZe Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I searched around the forum for nVidia8600GT drivers but everyone says to look at the Install DISK because it should be there. During the customization part I DID select nVidia drivers but obviously they didnt work. What should I do then? could the video card be the reason it won't start in normal mode?
