kevtucker Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hi, Looking for a bit of help after my Installation of Mac OSX 10.4.8. My Specs are as follows :- Gigabyte 965P-DS3 M/Board E6400 Intel Core2Duo @ 2.13ghz 2gb Geil DDR2 Nvidia 7950GX2 Video Card AOC 19" LCD Panel 120gb Maxtor Drive on Purple SATA port DVD-ROM via IDE to USB Port I have installed JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 which I downloaded from Usenet. All installs fine with the correct patches for my system. Now when the install reboots and I boot the system I get a screen telling me I need to restart my system using reset button or power button. I reset then boot again using -v command to see the error and get the following screen : I can start the system using -v -x command which starts the Mac OS in administrator mode but the screen is in 640 x 480 mode, sometimes it starts in 1024 x 768 mode. Did not install the TITAN Patch for Nvidia card as I get the same problem.. Can anyone give me any help on what the problem is ?

Soprano Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I've had nothing but problems with mine which has close to the same specs as yours. The most stable I've had is using the top orange SATA connection and disabling ACHI. This is the only way I can successfully boot. Any other way I had drives disappearing and other issues. I've tried everything to get ACHI to work but it just isn't able to.

kevtucker Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Could it be my video card which is not compatible ? I dont have another card to test. I can run the system fine in safemode. Have installed a few programs and they work fine.

kevtucker Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Update on this now. Just installed the Titan package from the JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3 in safemode and rebooted the computer, now I dont get the Kernel Panic. In verbose mode it gets passed the part where it says Cross your fingers ! loads a bit more then the screen goes black and nothing happens. Will not even go into safemode now. Any ideas ?

matthew.clewell Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I have stopped receiving the error by removing my nVidia card completely and using the on-board video.

drpain2006 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Had the same problem using geforce vga. got system up finally by removing drivers that might causing the kernel panic. see below link for some more information. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry308277 dp Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43186-problem-after-installing-1048/#findComment-309657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.clewell Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) Thanks, that worked perfectly. Had to remove all driver that contained ATI, nVidia, NVDA or GeForce. Does anyone know of drivers that will not cause this issue? EDIT: After removing all graphics associated drivers I tried the following, it allowed me to run in 1280x1024@60Hz Load Natit.kext: sudo mv Natit.kext /System/Library/Extensions/. sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext/ sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext This will associated the graphics card with a kext. reboot Next: 1. Navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ 2. Open "com.apple.boot.plist" 3. Add the following lines below the last entry of "<string>Yes</string>" <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024@60</string> Your plist should look something like the following: *********************************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024@60</string> </dict> </plist> ************************************************ Finally reboot once more and the grey apple load screen should be running in 1280x1024@60. I hope this works for anyone having problems. -Matt Edited February 24, 2007 by matthew.clewell Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43186-problem-after-installing-1048/#findComment-309952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevtucker Posted February 24, 2007 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 I have got the system to boot now by removing all nvidia kexts by starting in safemode after a reinstallation. I have not had the Setup screen come up which asks you to setup a User account after installing OSX though. Anyway to make this come up ? Thanks for all the help guys...

Are you sure that the kext is loaded properly and associated to your card ? Could you check your system profiler and have a look at the vga card kext extension. Even if I install the nitat the system comes up but it is not loaded, system profiler tells me no kext assicaited. thanks dp Edited February 24, 2007 by drpain2006 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43186-problem-after-installing-1048/#findComment-310498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevtucker Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 I just removed NVDAResman.kext from extensions folder and it booted up succesfully. I dont have QE/CI Enabled though. I think its my videocard which is not supported as it has 1gb ram on it (Nvidia 7950 GX2) Kevin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43186-problem-after-installing-1048/#findComment-313416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoValidTitle Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 damn, yeah I have that same video card and I was hoping this solution would allow QE/CI to function.
