DvlBoi Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hey guys, I just wanted to start off and say thank you for all who have put in the hard work to get OSX86 running on multiple platforms. It has been a blast so far. I do have one noobish question though that hopefully someone can help me with. I have been running the Mac OS X 10.4.8 JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2 for about a week now with absolutely no problems. I even had a pretty decent score on X-Bench and I am loving the OS. Today, I wanted to see if I could replace my X1800 with a 7800GTX just to see if the NVIDIA stuff works. Unfortunately it did not boot after the card was switched. I decided to just put my X1800 card back in (this is what I get for playing with stuff) and continue to use the system. Now, no files were changed when I put in the 7800GTX. But now that the X1800 is back in the box, I can not get it to boot. Using -v I get to the following location Extension "com.apple.driver/AppleOnboardPCATA" has no kernel dependency. (I believe this is normal) AppleNVIDIAnFOrceATA: NVIDIA CK8S IDE (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14, BM 0xffa0) AppleNVIDIAnFOrceATA: NVIDIA CK8S IDE (CMD 0x170, CTR 0x374, IRQ 15, BM 0xffa8) Once I get that on my screen the machine just sits there and doesn't do a thing. I decided to put my install CD back in and boot to the install screen so I could use the terminal app to apply a fix that I saw in another post just to see if it worked, now I can't even boot off the CD without it stopping in the exact same location. The only hardware touched was the video cards so I don't understand why this is having such a profound effect especially after I put the original card that I installed on back in the box. Does anyone have an idea or something for me to try? SYSTEM SPEC: ASUS K8N SLI Deluxe AMD FX60 Baracuda 7200 RPM IDE drive ATI x1800 video card 2GB ram Thanks again!

DvlBoi Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Just more of an FYI. I found out what the problem was and decided to post it here in case anyone else has this retarded problem. I did forget 1 thing that I did plug in to the system and it is what caused the machine to freeze. I had left in my METAL GEAR BOX USB hard drive enclosure plugged in which causes the boot process to freak out. I figured it out while trying to install on my other system at home last night and I caught what comes after the lines I posted above. Once I removed the USB enclosure the machine started right back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
