mrjay42 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 ok...Why not! But what do you call minimal package? ...any other ideas? Re-install mac os x is not a source of joy for me ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 No need to reinstall, booting with -X should fix this, it should only happen for the 1st boot. If not, once all the kexts especially reguarding display will be ok, it should boot in normal mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle67 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 krazubu is right. You must test first -x .(F8 on startup and type -x and hit enter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjay42 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Ok thanks you krazubu & Oracle67 I test and i tell you if it works I've just tested it... Here is what i've done : Start my computer Wait for the message "darwin blabla hit a key for startup options" I hit a key I obtain a prompt : Boot : So I type : -x (and enter) Mac OS start...ask me to log in => once i'm logged in i obtain a prompt (unix/linux type) ...and i dont know what to do... Is it normal to obtain a linux prompt? If yes, could you tell me if there is a procedure to solve my problem with the prompt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazubu Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Well it's not normal, maybe your system is crashed deeper than I thought, but you can still try to type "exit" to launch the GUI. (you may need to type it 2 times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
