static Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 alright so i installed 10.4.8 everything went fine as far as i could tell. but when i boot after install it boots with all the booting info (debug)(no images) and when it gets to the final step (opening the login window) it locks up.. it never opens a login window and never shows a GUI of any sort. whats going on. i think maybe my cpu isnt supported AMD Athlon™ 64 processor 3800+ 64-bit processor with AMD64 Technology (2.4GHz | 512KB L2 Cache | 2000MHz System Bus) This is my computer. any help would be appreciated http://www.e4me.com/products/products.html?prod=T5062 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61675-will-my-cpu-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
potuz Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Try the following in case you're having problems with your video card. boot with the flag -s when you get a prompt #, type #/sbin/fsck -fy # when you get another prompt # tipe #/sbin/mount -uw / # after that make a directory (in this case /foo) and mv a graphic kext that could be messing things up: #mkdir /foo #mv /System/Library/Extensions/NVDAResman.kext /foo/ # now erase the caches and reboot (DON'T FORGET THE DOT "." after Extensions here!!!) # rm /System/Library/Extensions.* #reboot hopefully you'll be able to boot, if you don't, at least you'll know that it's most probably not your video card.
