energy_One Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I'm using the tubgirl 10.4.8 DVD to install (I installed using VMWare and an emulated drive in Windows). Previously I had trouble getting it to boot properly, but it seems to have gotten further after I switched the drive to IDE1 rather than IDE2. CPU: Athlon 64 3000+ MB: K8N Neo4 Platinum I tried repairing disk permissions, and I'm getting the same hanging problem. Unfortunately, since it hangs and even in verbose I can't tell what the error message might be, I'm stumped as to what to do next. I'm posting a picture below. It seems like it might be a problem with my onboard Ethernet, but I'm unsure. In safe mode, it's a little different, but hangs around the same area (the last line, instead of on the screen shot below, will list Airport driver not found). Any advice? Reinstall yet again?

dvornik Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 In the installation options deselect Titan or Natit or anything else for that matter except the AMD patch.

energy_One Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 There didn't seem to be any other options under the DVD menu, in terms of OSx86 items. (I'm trying to recall what the one option was... but I'm pretty sure there was only one subpackage to "OSx86 Hacks". Perhaps I don't have the tubgirl iso?)

energy_One Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 I should mention, in case it matters, that the system boots fine under VMWare, whereas previously, it had prompted me with the "power-button symbol" and/or a message of kernel panic. In the case of the power-button, it told me to restart. In the case of verbose mode... pretty much just kernel panic.

energy_One Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Is there anything I can do, booting the system from VMWare, that can fix this problem?

kstephens98 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) Bump I have successfully installed JAS 10.4.8 with VMWare but get hung up on the initial boot. Hangs at the "Airport Driver Not Found" as well. Anyone have any suggestions? Seems alot of folks are seeing this, yet I can find no solutions.

bugler30 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 try typing platform=x86pc at the boot prompy I was having a similar problem with my 10.4.1 install and that cleared it right up. the VMWare installs are picky like that I've noticed let us know if that worked, or at least got you a different error...

kstephens98 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Wanted to report back. I finally got it working. I had to patch the ISO with the PPF patch before installation and that did the trick. Once I got it installed I had no Ethernet connection, but through searching this forum I was able to correct that too. Had to set up IP and DNS manually as was written in this forum. Thanks to all who have contributed to this wonderful forumn. To those who have issues, keep searching and you can find the answers.

energy_One Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 To those who have issues, keep searching and you can find the answers. O, I continue to search, rather fruitlessly. But I'll likely figure something out.

store2000 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) I'm having the exact same issue. I was able to install Jas 10.4.8 (SSE2 Intel patches selected) correctly but after that during bootup the system crashes at a grey screen. If I boot up in "-v" (F8 during boot up) then it the boot process is in text mode but still crashes with a black screen with a few white vertical lines (!!). If I boot up in "-x -v" mode then also I get the black screen with a few white vertical lines. If I boot up in "-x -v -s" mode then I get dropped to a text screen where I can either issue a fsck command or continue bootup, so I can do SOMETHING to fix at that point (???). My card is a radeon 9800 pro (PC) but I guessed in safe mode it'd run in VGA mode. I was able to boot older releases (10.4.6?) but the newest Jas 10.4.8 just doesn't seem to work.... Any ideas ? How can I see the system log of the last thing that messed things up (i.e. boot crashes -> reboot to single mode and see earlier crash log).? FYI, uname -r gives "8.8.1". Thanks folks !

kstephens98 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) The patch, as I understand, is not for the ISO I have. I didn't use tubgirl, I used JaS. Might want to consider using the JaS release. I have never used the tubgirl release, so I probably won't be much help. Sorry!

drpain2006 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hey, had the same problem and finally got it up. I assume that your (energy_one) problem comes with the vga card. My PC runs with geforce mx 420 and had the same problem after a fresh installation (10.4.8). After reading through several topics I started reinstall without the titan / nvidia driver but the problem still occurs. I figured out that there were still some kext files with geforce and a removed theme manually in single user mode.Was the only mode running. And guess what I happen, yes the problem was still there. Finally I removed all the kext's including ATI the system came up immediately. I don't know why the ATI driver causing those problems since I don't have an ATI card and my card was properly detected as Geforce 420 and all I can say it's working. Although I still have some problems with LAN card and I'm still working on the system it might help you as well. Boot in single user Later you will recognized that the file system might be read only so mount -rw -a will make it writeable change to /system/library/extension there you will find all the kext / bundles. with ls command you can identify the ones having geforce / nvda / ATI included and remove them (rm and rmdir) manually. Don't know which ones caused the problem but I removed them all Last thing I did before reboot was fsck -f, and system came up. Maybe this will help some of you, just give a short notice if so. greetz dp Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41135-1048-hang-after-successful-install-cant-identify-error/#findComment-308277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanyiyi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I have the same problem .

luis.abs Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Tried this as suggested as well but seems that my system still has trouble starting up properly. Deleted all kexts and bundle/plugin from GeForce,NVidia and ATI. System crashes now after reboot. Booting in verbose mode (-v) now shows: display: stalling for module ??????? <<< maybe thats whats wrong?? Matching service coundt = 1 NVDA::probe(display) NVDA::start(display) <1> 2-to-4 channel spreading enabled mDNSResponder starting launched version ..... Login Window Application Started Ethernet Address 00:......... No Aiport Driver found Anybody a clue how to solve this? Seems deleting all of those files is not really the answer to this (it seems) very common problem using 10.4.8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41135-1048-hang-after-successful-install-cant-identify-error/#findComment-352294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
