bugsyb Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi All, The problem I'm facing is that once kernel is loaded screen gets blank and nothing happens. I've tried multiple ways of preparing USB key and booting kernel including: - UniBoot - MyHack - iAtkos Options I've tried so far: - PCIRoot=1 - GraphicsEnabler=Yes / GraphicsEnabler=No - cpu=1 - arch=i386 - npci=0x2000 - -f, -x -s flags - "Graphics Mode"="1440x900x32" - debug=0x144 None of them did not work and laptop seems to have pretty standard config and should work out of the box: CPU T2250 Memory: 1GB Video: GMA950 Screen: 1440x900 Model: Gateway MX8711 BIOS version:72.14, 72.11 I've successfully installed OS X on different laptop and even if faced some problems it at least gave me some errors. In this case I'm completely blind. What's worth mentioning, this laptop has video output and I'm wondering if this is not the source of problem? If it could be, how can I force kernel output to be put on embedded LCD? I've checked attaching external display on VGA connection but nothing was displayed there neither. Any help will be highly appreciated. http://www.cnet.com/laptops/gateway-mx8711-dual-core/4507-3121_7-32363010.html Thanks, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279602-blank-screen-no-kernel-messages-gateway-mx8711/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
