Dom DiCicco Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 System Specs: Hp Pavilion Laptop zx5078 Radeon 9200 mobile graphics (64mb) Pentium 4 - 3.06GHz 512MB Ram XP on first partition OSX on second I have OSX installed on a second partition of mine and it the boot selector used is darwin. I try and boot into OSX and i get the gray apple loading screen and then after a minute or two a box comes up over the apple and says i need to restart my computer in like 5 different languages. Booting in safe mode does nothing. In verbose mode i see that it is hanging after it looks for a remote debugger. Here are some pictures of my problem in verbose mode. Any help would be appreciated!

hack4good Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Are you booting into safe mode? At the Darwin prompt, boot with the "-x" flag, and you may be able to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom DiCicco Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 safe mode does nothing for me, nor do any of the other commands ive tryed including -s -f -F -iox0ffffffff or any combination of those the only thing that helps out to get rid of the debug message is using platform=ACPI|X86PC but i get another problem where it gets stuck on a line starting with USBF: ..... loading into sleep something similar to that i am on a laptop which comes with an extremely limited bios and i cant disable USB which ive seen on other forums/posts that that is how they got rid of the error and were able to boot Is there anyway i can just get rid of the instruction to load USB devices in Darwin or maybe even get a copy of MacDrive and look for some kext file and delete it if it relates to USB. I only say kext because i hear a lot of people saying that deleting kext files or adding new ones helps booting and other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpascu01 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 bump... anyone have this problem? Are you trying to use Jas's 10.4.8 dvd? If you are, then I think the iso that you dl'ed was corrupted. I had the same problem where it asks you to restart when I tried installing OSX on my pc. When I got the new cd, it booted the cd fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
