bigpoppa206 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Why not just get a second drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolcatman Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I tried everything you said but my system just reboots after I select to boot with the usb. I also tried the reboot kext you had but I had no luck. Thanks anyway guys. PS cant buy a second drive because the Taiwan Situation has not yet cleared up and the SSD and HDD prices are too high for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolcatman Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Alright so if you guys check out the osx86 wiki it is extremely helpful I got my way to the installer but after it loads (-v) all I can see is a big light blue screen. I know its related to my graphics but anyway for me to overpass this? I am using a p67 board so no onboard graphics and I dont have any other video cards. Anyone? If you want to know how I fixed this. I changed the multiplier to 29 and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolcatman Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hmm... I tried making the usb again but still nothing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolcatman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I already tried that but I got no luck Anyways, for unsupported gpus I should put GraphicsEnabler=no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macnewb. Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 sorry, i was asking if that was the flag that you were using. ge=no is correct. it's really odd that even when you boot from USB that your system crashes. what other flags do you have?

lolcatman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I also tried using PCIRootUID=1, -x, -f, -s, -v idk what to do. I know its because of my video card though. I have a 6950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolcatman Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Now I overpassed the light blue screen. I now get a white screen with my mouse showing. I booted with PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=No -x -v and this is happening now. I don't even need to enter a command and I still get this. I deleted ATIRadeonX3000.kext from the installer. Without it I think I am progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
