wahwahman89 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hi all, I really hope someone can help me out. The problem I am facing is not simple so highly skilled hackers, help us out! Basically I installed the 10.4.7 image onto the hard disk (natively). It is an old hard disk so I fully formatted it, full erase and installed on one single Journalled HFS+ partition. All went well, installed brilliantly. Install ended, it went to restart and crashed there. No problem I thought, I just pressed the reset button. Next boot worked fine - wireless detected, Safari worked brilliantly, all good. Now here comes the weird part. I restart the computer. Wireless - gone. SATA hard disk - gone. Graphics performance - gone. Network diagnostics don't even seem to be able to see any sign of an AirPort device ever to have been existent. I never ever had a GUI boot, just a text one with a very fast scrolling list of kext files being loaded. Is this a sign of something being wrong? There's one more weird thing. First boot takes a while, second boot is much faster, as if drivers aren't being loaded!?!? Anyone got any ideas? Everything is much appreciated. I must have reinstalled OS X 6 times now and each time THE SAME THING HAPPENS! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?? Thank you ever so much to anyone who might post and help me out. All the best from England, S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
