tomika Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hi, You can try this: Whenn reboot , press F8, and type -x then press ENTER Boot in safe mode... If the system boot on, ok, if not, you must reinstal zour system and install latter version of OSX, ex. 10.4.6 I have a some problem before, and must install 10.4.6 and working ok.

superman1101 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 ok, if the only way you can boot up Mac is with the DVD then you should try changing the hard drive priority to boot off the hard drive where u installed mac os, if you're able to get to the darwin menu (without the DVD), then press f8 and type: -v -s where it says "boot:". when you get to a command line type: /sbin/mount -uw / then type cd /system/library/extensions and then: rm -rf nvdaresman.kext then type exit and see what happens, you should try posting what you see in the screen when you boot. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniacshouse Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I had the same problem and this works for me too... Until I get to the 'Welcome'-screen where you can choose language etc... After 20 seconds it disappears and I'll get a blue screen with a black cursor. What could be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
