ATI.Bob Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'm trying to get my laptop to boot natively running OSX x86.. Here's my laptop specs.. Acer TravelMate 3202XCi Intel Pentium M 725 1.6GHz 512MB RAM Intel 855GME Chipset ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 64MB (Darwin reported VESA 2.0 ) I successfully ran deadmoo's VMware image on my laptop and everything went fine so I decided to go native.. dd'ing gave me some problems, but I managed to get it right after 3 or 4 times re-tries.. I'm doing dual-booting with my laptop where the first partition (primary) is Windows XP and the second partition (primary too) is where I dd'ed the OSX image to. I used the Windows XP bootloader to "chainboot" it to OSX (I also tried other techniques like setting the second partition to active, using GRUB..).. it booted up.. but all I get is the grey Apple screen.. not even the loading spinning status at the bottom of it.. I tried using the -x, -v and the platform=X86PC command at boot.. still the same.. and I found out that loading halted at the following line.. .... AppleIntelPIIXPATA : ICH4 ATA/100 (CMD 0x170, CTR 0x374, IRQ15, BM 0x1868) IOPCCard info : Intel PCIC Probe : TI 4510 rev 02 AppleIntelPIIXPATA : ICH4 ATA/100 (CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ14, BM 0x1860) _ Loading was stalled after that line... Can anyone help me?? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 It is the appleintelintegrategraphics.kext file in system/library/extensions log in to it with safe mode and delete it and then it will boot normally. I did that and it works, however I am still unable to get sound.

pabloX Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Deleting the AppleIntegratedGraphics.kext file will not change this problem, it is obviously an ATA issue here. I am having the exact same problem on an Intel 855 chipset with onboard graphics. To me it appears as if the ATA bus is not suported at all. Replacing the IOATA kext doesnt work either. AppleIntelPIIXPATA is the problem as it is probing then freezing right there. If anyone has overcome this problem, please post as we would like to know if it works!

harcheng Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I get this problem when I leave my thumbdrive in. When I reboot without the thumbdrive inserted in any USB ports, the OS boots fine.

phaethon1983 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I'm also having the exact same problem on my Dell Inspiron 510m laptop. I've tried many things: like putting the image on the first partition on the harddrive in a dual-boot machine, put it on a dedicated hard drive, even tried all the various Darwin boot options but all of this won't work out Looks like it is an ATA issue, can someone help us out? Below is a picture of my boot screen, as you can maybe not read on this picture my processor supports SSE and SSE2, as it is an Intel Pentium M 1,7GHz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/#findComment-5195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabloX Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 bern, using rd=/dev/disk0s1 or whichever device/partition OSX is installed on does not work for this error. I have the exact same error, and no options work, I have tried -s -x platform=x86pc rd=/dev/disk0s1 and neither work, in ANY combinations. Any other ideas? I also tried turning off the Wireless card in the BIOS because I thought perhaps it was a PCCard prob Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/#findComment-5497 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lummox Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 i seem to have the same (or a quite similar) problem and have opened a thread (http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=237) some time ago. no luck so far, but some ideas so far. plus links to some more similar threads. i can boot osx in vmware from that partition, though...

Guest User Name Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 lookslike youre using that Simple something on one partition tutorial that will all due respect .... has minor issues. you should try making the partition with live cd and making it AF THEN you should use diskpart to make it active , THEn you should copy the image. so you set up the partition and make it active before the image is copied over. try it out then post your results Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/#findComment-5965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabloX Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Actually I installed Darwin from the bootbale CD onto the partition first to see if that would work. Darwin booted fine and was a useable OS natively. The second step was dd'ing the /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hda1 to get the data across. Seeing as this method has worked for numerous other people I can only conclude that the hardware is not supported. lookslike youre using that Simple something on one partition tutorial that will all due respect .... has minor issues. you should try making the partition with live cd and making it AF THEN you should use diskpart to make it active , THEn you should copy the image. so you set up the partition and make it active before the image is copied over. try it out then post your results <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/#findComment-6031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

McK Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hello, someone with news? I also own an Inspiron 510m with the same results. pabloX did you try downloading Darwin and using its directory /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext on osx86 image instead of the original? I think it doesnt detect our disk/partition for some reason so it stops there, but why? Maybe editing some of the values of Info.plist..... The full path is: /System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext/Contents Here is a link of the darwin source, may it help? :/ I'll have a look. http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4/Ap...ntelPIIXATA-17/ Good luck.

My laptop stalls right after loading the firewire extensions, right after it tells me its working ok. What if you try removing the PCCard extensions? Those can also tell you they work but stall the system when trying to work. Its worth the try Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/#findComment-9299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

McK Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Get vmware and start osx inside, it should work. Once inside, delete those directories and halt the virtual machine. Then it should boot natively, (at least without that stall) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/533-loading-stalled-at-the-apple-screen/#findComment-9616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrV Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I had the exact same stall just after the ATA driver loading, and it was down to the firewire drivers. Remove all IOFirewire* kexts and it will get further into the boot.

I removed them from the Deadmoo image via VMWare, then rebooted native. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> MrV, I used your method to get it booting on a D505 (delete kexts etc), but on a regular boot -v it only gets to the blue screen, no mouse pointer or anything. However, it boots fine if I use the -x option. Thanks for your efforts in getting it to work thus far! How long did it sit at bootup the first time native booting? I left it alone for 15 minutes with no change, except an occasional HD access.
