blubbor Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi guys, after I installed Mac OSX 10.4.8 succesfully after this tutorial: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...t=0&start=0 my PC stopps at the grey apple logo bootscreen. So I booted with "-v" At the end it says: "Extension "com.apple.driver.iTunesPhoneDriver" has no kernel dependency" There it stopps. If you need more information, tell me please, im a newbie (sorry for my bad english) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52310-get-stuck-at-the-grey-bootscreen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestevo Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 You could try removing it. Boot into single user mode and use the rm command to delete it. Sounds like it has to do with iPhone, and I assume that probably isn't a big issue for you yet. I don't know where that file is exactly, but I'm sure with a little looking around on google you can find it. Doesn't sound like an important system file, I doubt you'd real harm the installation by removing it. Looks like you have nowhere to go but up anyway. Good luck, Stevo Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52310-get-stuck-at-the-grey-bootscreen/#findComment-373726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubbor Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 can you please tell me how to boot into single user mode, and explain a little bit more how to at least delete it (even though i don´t know exactly where this file is)? thanks for your help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52310-get-stuck-at-the-grey-bootscreen/#findComment-373838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestevo Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 When Darwin first starts you hit F8 and it will give you the option to boot with kernel flags. At that point you put in '-s' and hit enter. Soon you will get to an interface where you can enter terminal commands. Then you will run: rm -rf (your filename here) I looked on google, I guess the location isn't as available as I once thought. I'll look tonight when I get back to my mac.

Zizou Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I had the same problem too, I had to boot from the DVD, open terminal, mount my partition and replace IOATAFamily.kext with Paulicat's...

thestevo Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hey, well if Zizou had the same error, for sure look in to what he said. I'm only guessing at a solution here since I've never dealt with it personally.

Zizou Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Sorry, I'll try to explain.. I was goofing around with 10.4.9 and used the APPLE (official) 10.4.9 IOATAFamily.kext.. but when using this kext, the system wouldn't boot at all, and get stuck at the same point as you are now. What I did, go to Paulicat's blog.. (I suggest you you google for 'Paulicat', first hit is the blog) download both AppleSMBIOS.kext and IOATAFamily.kext, and place them in your extensions folder.. now this could get tricky.. Because your OS X doesn't even boot, so how do you get it there? I downloaded the files, put them on my iPod. Then I booted from the OS X install DVD and openen Terminal (utilities) then typed 'umount /dev/diskXsX' (where diskXsX is your hdd/partition number, in my case it was the second partition on the first harddrive, so Disk0s1) then type like 'mkdir /Volumes/Hackint0sh' (or whatever your hdd is named.. ) then type 'mount -t hfs /dev/diskXsX /Volumes/Hackint0sh' if it's ok, your iPod or other USB stick/usb massstorage device or 2nd partition, if you connected it before booting, should be mounted as READ only, so what you know have to do is copy the kexts from your other partition/ipod/whatever to your extensions folder on your OS X disk.. So in my case, in the folder 'volumes' I use the 'ls' command.. then I see a list of hard drives.. Also 'hackint0sh' and 'Thomas's iPod' so what I do.. cp -rf /Volumes/"Thomas's iPod"/IOATAFamily.kext /Volumes/Hackint0sh/System/Library/Extensions/ do the same for AppleSMBIOS.kext.. I hope it's clear.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52310-get-stuck-at-the-grey-bootscreen/#findComment-375621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
