SpeedfreaK Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I installed 10.4.8 with the new JaS DVD and everything went well. But wen i restarted the computer (after the install) the apple logo and the spinny thing appeared and after 10 seconds a giant 'shut down button' appeared with a message in 4 different languages: 'Please shut down your computer by pressing the power button several seconds or pressing the restard button.' I get that message every time when i boot my computer up. How can i solve this?

I get that message every time when i boot my computer up. How can i solve this? It's a kernel panic. Boot with -v flag to see the detailed reason. Press F8 at boot for boot options.

SpeedfreaK Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Damn, i guess that means that it will be very hard to solve this and get my system working? I need that computer right now, so i'm allready installing 10.4.6. (Because when i made my xp partition active i got the error 'unable to lauch os' i think and hope this will solved when 10.4.6 is back on my system because i need some files on XP) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37807-please-shut-down-your-computer/#findComment-269363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradwyn Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 when you boot press F8 for boot options and see if it will let you boot into "safe user" mode by typing -x Brad Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37807-please-shut-down-your-computer/#findComment-269367 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradwyn Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Check which patches you selected when you installed also, you might have select so you do not need and that might be causing an issue too.

The Baron Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 If everything goes {censored} up with your os x install, get the Ultimate Boot CD. This will let you set the windows partition active, and you'll be able to boot to xp again, Andy.

SpeedfreaK Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 i selected the correct patch: the intel patch (for sse2 and sse3 (it's one patch)), i didn't select further patches, because i don't have the hardware for those patches Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37807-please-shut-down-your-computer/#findComment-270320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
