SgtArky Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sometimes when I put in a dsdt, kext or change something the *Boot.plist , osx hangs. What I have been doing is removing the harddrive, putting it in a usb enclosure and mounting it in my osx lion VM, this is too difficult. I did try using the osx base system, but all I can do is see the drives with disk utility. I tried booting with -s and it still hangs in the same place.

Foxic Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 <p>You could use the terminal from an iAtkos dvd or install OS X to a USB HDD and keep it somewhere safe for rescue.</p> <p> </p> <p>Boot with -F to ignore flags in boot.plist</p> <p>Boot with -f to ignore caches</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274631-how-to-get-into-osx-when-it-wont-load/#findComment-1786189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 When experimenting with DSDTs, leave your previous, working dsdst.aml where it is and name your edited one test.aml. Then boot with DSDT=test.aml to try your new DSDT. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/274631-how-to-get-into-osx-when-it-wont-load/#findComment-1786192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
