Knocks Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 OK folks, an extreme Mac/unix newbie here, so please bear with me After installation, Darwin Loader takes me to an Apple logo screen, then a command prompt, no GUI. How do I launch the GUI? Did I accidently enable a safe mode or something? By the way, this only happens with the DVD in the drive. Without the DVD, I get an Apple logo screen, then a black screen. That's problem #2, I guess, but let's take 'em one at a time Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43660-command-prompt/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlipHDK Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Try and boot with -v ( verbose ) it will tell you what is happening and then it should help you fix the problem. To do that press F8 just as your BIOS is loading os x, then type "-v" and enter. Then os x will try and boot in verbose mode.

rathalos Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 i think something is wrong with his /etc/rc startup script file. Either it is missing or it is corrupted. Happened to me before when i tampered with the /etc/rc file to remove the r2d2 loading part from boot. Try reinstalling, thats the best shot, unless u have access to another intel hackintosh where you could copy the /etc/rc file back to restore the old one.

Knocks Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 rathalos: it no longer freezes at etc/rc. Now the screen goes black right after the message "Login Window Application Started." I disabled a bunch of stuff from BIOS for now just to be safe (LAN, wi-fi, dual core).
