Macoso Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I remember I have same problem, until I replaced IOACPIfamily, IOPCCardFamily and IOPCIFamily kext from older version... try 10.4.5 or .6 Dave Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38867-hangs-at-loginwindowapp/#findComment-278274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy46 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hello IPGuy This is a very common problem and is easily rectified. It's actually a very good indication your installation is at the point beyond a kernel panic. What's happened is everything has loaded ok but you don't have the correct PCI address for your graphics card added for titan to initialize. The following solution below is for NVIDIA graphics cards. You'll have to dig around the forums for solutions to other cards. Boot into single user mode by holding F8 on boot and at the prompt type -s followed by the <return> key. OSX will boot to the command prompt. now type sudo -s <return> and mount -u / <return> cd / <return> You'll now have root read/write access to your drive now type cd /system/library/extensions you're now in the extensions folder now type cd geforce.kext <return> cd contents <return> nano info.plist nano opens a text editor session for the XML plist file Note: Find out the PCI address for your card in windows XP using the device manager before you do any of this! place in you dev id i.e. 0x00c910de (note this is a example and is my 6800go 256mb Card) at the position below.... <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x00c910de</string> To save your changes hold down <CTRL> and x. Nano will ask to save your changes. hit y and <return> cd .. out of the kext and do the same for NV40Hal.kext (if you have a 6 series card of higher, might even be fine with 5 series cards, read the forums) NVDANVResman.kext Once you've made these changes type "exit" to leave the terminal. OSX will continue to boot. If you've done the changes right, the GUI will load Good luck Drummerboy46 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38867-hangs-at-loginwindowapp/#findComment-561876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
