MaidenFan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hey, I've been having probems installing OS X onto my desktop, having successfully installed on my laptop (Acer Aspire 5630). My configuration is this: Motherboard: Asus P5RD2-VM Processor: Intel Pentium D 930 - 3.0Ghz RAM: 2Gb DDR2 - 533MHz Graphics: ATi Radeon X1600 Pro - PCI-Express and ATi Radeon Xpress 200 - Motherboard Hard Drive: Maxtor 200Gb SATA-II I'm using the JaS 10.4.8 DVD with the patched Disk Utility. The install goes fine, until OS X boots. On a normal quiet boot, it just hangs on the grey "Apple" screen. When I boot using -v (verbose mode) it hangs after the following line: ... /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started I've applied the Login Window patch on the DVD and I've played around with the various patched you can install for the ATI X1x00 series, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? MaidenFan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57107-install-help-hangs-on-login-window-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kadmiff Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I too have had this problem.... As stated above , it was a video problem for me... boot with the -s /sbin/mount -uw / cd /system/library/extensions rm -R NVDA* rm -R ATI* rm -R Geforce* reboot with the -v If that doesnt work then -x -v Work through the various video solutions for your card on this forum... Oh and if you have an sli setup.... take one out...
