Orthodox Legacy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I installed everything nice and easy and can boot into OS X 10.6 easily by using the -x boot flag. However, without it I can only get passed the apple splash only to be hit with an ugly glitched looking black and grey screen. However, I can boot without any flags using the ModCD. The screen resolution no matter how I boot it is whack, just can't see the finder bar. So I just need help figuring ot what is going on. I have the impression that it is a graphics card error, but my GPU is recognized completely by the system. My specs: GATEWAY GT5228 -Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 -Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4600 -CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ -RAM: 2GB DDR2 I want to also add that I used SnowLeo for the installation and used the following options in 'Customize' (note, I did not take out in memory or my GPU during installation): -Azaila audio -ATI_init -Chameleon R5 -AMD Patch -Chocolate Kernel -FakeSMC -PlatformUUID -AppleTRL8169(LAN) -LegacyApplePIIXATA Any help is much appreciated I am also willing to reinstall if you suggest it.

proton43 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 If you're getting the grey screen with white messages and black lines on it (I think) you have kernel panic. This happens usually when a kext (driver) is not compatible with your hardware.
