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

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.
