zhta1972 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi , the installation has done really smoth at a Sony Vaio FS-415M . The system boots ok , plays the welcome music (so soundcard working), touchpad working , Lan card , firewire ... All ok !! (I checked all with the dvd's utilities ) The screen and picture (and only this , all other works still !!! i can listen the music and then voice over starts) , is frozen and the last line say : localhost /System/Library/CoreServices/Loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/Loginwindow:Main Window Application Started . Some lines upper there are 3 error messeges : 1 : a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/nvdanv40hal.kext 2 : a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext 3 : a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext I think that the VGA card is the only "frozen" device , the model of the vga is : NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 .... All others works , i can navigate to the voice over's menus throu the arrows ..... I tried to connect a momitor at the VGA connector of the VAIO , the same screen there , frozen at last line too . I dont know how to install the macvidia drivers , because i cant use the graphical interface (any suggestions doing it with the terminal ?) What else you think the problem is ? Thank you for your time .... Also lots of credits goes to all theese involved to bring us this special OS to our cheap , home pc's .... you ROCK !
