mdcp Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone, after rebooting my before smoothly running osx86-tubgirl amd sse3 10.4.8 2007-001 gets stuck when it tries to load my desktop. it also shows the kernel messages in a much lower resolution now (like 80x25 chars) instead booting the kernel in 1280*1024. but titan tells me to cross my fingers anyway.. permissions have already been repaired with my installation dvd (no wrong ones at all). any ideas, please? TIA! mdcp. Edited February 6, 2007 by mdcp Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41126-macos-freezes-when-it-tries-to-load-the-gui/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdcp Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) i tried to to boot in single user mode, and i saw that java crashes just before the machine switches to the gui (verbose enabled). can i somehow tell macos to not load java? or is there a step-by-step loading process in which i can decide whether i want to load certain extensions/modules/whatever? could a damaged com.apple.Boot.plist also be the reason? (because i recently changed my wait time at boot from 10 to 2 secs, but everything went fine)? any help or ideas really appreciated, thanks. edit: can a false shutdown also be the reason? because my girlfried accidentally used the atx-power-button to switch off my hackintosh -> "broken" sleep? and, please, how can i clear the caches at single user mode? or try anything else in single user mode? thanks! edit: booting into safe mode (pressing shift during boot) doesn't help.. edit: Archive and Install option doesn't work; the installer tells me that i can't install to my hdd because there's a newer macos version installed.. maybe because of the kernel updates? it's still 10.4.8 though..
