I found many people has this error! but no one knows the solution, for me I think it's a matter of Hard disk, cause I can't erase it easily, and when i do, i get this error! Can some one help me?

 

PS: for "zackint0sh", I tried to reinstall it, but i cannot erase the HD anymore, can you help me? :)

Wrong ISO or wrong packages!

I'm not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but i have the same specs and the same problem... i have formatted it and re did the install and used different options with the install.

EDIT: I also put the hard drive in another computer and booted from it... the graphics card wasn't compatible... but it booted and loaded.

enter into single user mode (-s) and delete all nvidia , geforce, and natit kexts.

I had this problem, and thats how I solved it. the gui fails to start so the login window doesn't start and crashes. This happens with all geforce 2,3.4 cards.

I had this problem and to get rid of it you only select and install the packages you need for your computer, in my case I selected everything at first and got that annoying error on reboot, started over again and it worked.

hello everyone, im new to this but there seem to be no solution for this type of problem as i tried most of them and it doesnt work for me. I dont have titan or natit installed.

 

my computer:

 

- Intel core 2 duo 6600

- Motherboard is asus P5N-E SLI

- 1 gig ram

- Geforce 7900 GTO

- 320 SATA hard drive (Win XP)

- 40 GB IDE set as master (mac)

- Hp dvd set as slave

 

I booted with or without DVD and i still get the while apple logo that turns into a black background with the text "You need to restart your computer. Hold Down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button"

 

Thanks

Hello all

 

I had the same problems (ACPI and reboot screen) with the HOTISO version. I would suggest to all to install OSx86_10.4.3_8F1111A_Patched_Jas_v4.2b version cause it's prepatched with the JAS and Maxxuss patches and it's error free. I have a Pentium 4 HT 512 RAM No Sata Drives and this version goes fine with my PC. All hardware function perfectly... Search google for the torrent.

 

Bye
