Hello everybody,

 

first of all, my system is:

 

CPU -> Intel Dual Core 3,6 GHz

GPU -> Geforce 260 GTX

Motherboard -> Asus P5LD2 SE

HDD -> 160 GB IDE (would like to if this is not the problem)

 

 

My problem is:

 

i tried several different installations of iAtkos Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and Hazard 10.6.2. After an successfull installation and rebooting Snow Leo does not start.

 

normal boot -> stuck at grey apple

different options (verbose, etc.) -> black screen

trying -v -f -x -> loads everthing -> black screen

 

Anybody has an idea what the problem can be?

I read through different conversations, where it was said, that it is possible to use an IDE HDD, wrong? Could that be the problem?

 

Any help would be great.

if you were able to get it to install successfully all you have to do is boot back into your install dvd/usb/whatever/ and go to utilities -> Terminal

 

you are able to move kexts around. Does it sit on a black screen or does it black screen and reboot?

The problem is i can't boot into single user mode (black screen) to move kexts,

Have you tried booting into single user mode (-s)? The graphics drivers should not have yet kicked in so they shouldn't affect the screen. You should still be in VESA mode.

 

Here is a posting of someone who has used the graphic string in his Boot.plist: http://osx86.co/f87/.../post43654.html

 

In some cases, installing a recent version of Chameleon will allow you to set GraphicsEnabler to Yes: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=231075

 

If you can get upgraded to 10.6.8, Nvidia has Quadro 4000 drivers that supposedly will enable the video card.

hi rlf and EvilMacMongo,

 

thank you very much, it (iAtkos 10.6.2) finally works now in verbose mode :) (tried almost all different options), but when i try to start in normal mode, it loads few seconds and then the pc restarts :(, i don't know what the problem is again.

 

loading = apple with loading circle for about 4 seconds

 

You got an idea for me?

 

regards
