Snakiej Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hiya, I tried since 3 days to get OSX working on my laptop, a Toshiba A100-683. The installation goes flawless, but then it asks to reboot, and starts to boot in OSX I get the grey screen with the silver Apple, and underneath it the circle. After that my display just turns of. I can't do anything at that moment. After a Google search, I came to the conclusion that the problem is my X1600 mobile. Ok, so let's ask again Google, and Google says 'start with -v -s', then '/sbin/mount -uw /'. And then navigate to '/System/Library/Extensions/', and there delete the ati******.kext. But there is no 'Extensions' folder in the Library folder. I tried fsck, but that said that the drive was write locked, so I tried mkdir, but I can't write on the disk. Anyone who can help me?

thestevo Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Try an external monitor. Maybe if you get it up on an external monitor you can configure the internal. For example, if it was trying to display a resolution that was out of range it would most likely be black. However, upon changing that you may be fine.
