Hello everyone,

 

Helping a friend to install OSX on his pc.

 

Went through and installed Jas 10.4.8 fine til reboot.

 

After the system reboot, the apple logo shows up for couple second and the system just keep reboot itself.

 

I really have no clue what just happend and how to solve it hence this thread and hopefully to find some help.

 

His pc setup..

 

Intel E6300

P5W-DH Dlx

2G Memory

Nvidia video card

 

Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar problem on an Asus P5LD2-VM which uses the Intel 945G chipset and has an onboard GMA 950 graphics card. Additionally, it has the ICH7 I/O controller. The processor is a Pentium D 930, and I have an ATA/100 HD.

 

I had successfully installed 10.4.6 and had it running for months (this is the bro's machine). I was home for thanksgiving and had decided last minute to upgrade his system to 10.4.8 after reading that newer kernels supported SSE3. Bad idea.

 

The computer continually reboots after loading all the kext's. After replacing the kernel with the newest (beta 7), it will boot, but hangs in the middle of loading OS X, referring to something that sounds like IOATAFamily.kext's fault. (i'll get the specific error next time I boot it up).

 

My suggestion now would be: Upgrade to the latest "nebukanezar" kernel (beta 7), and find your old IOATAFamily.kext from 10.4.6, and possibly the old Integrated Graphics .kext and replace them to see what happens. At least this is going to be my next step. Good luck and if you find a solution, please post.

i got the same problem...

 

Pentium D805@3,6

P5WDH

2GB Ram

Nvidia 7900GTO

 

 

but i read something in a similar thread...

 

try the bootoptions: -v -s

then you should be able to boot

then remove the geforce.kext

 

or try the bootoptions: -legacy

 

 

i'll have a look, maybe i'll find the thread again...

 

btw: do you have any problems with you p5wdh and the AppleUSBUHCI driver???
