razinx Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I've installed Jas 10.4.8, Uphuck 1.3, 1.4a and Tubgirls 10.4.10 - all install seemingly fine - each install is on a freshly wiped partition. Upon boot up I get the following on all of them - kextd[27]: kextd_watch_volumes: couldn't set up diskarb sessions kextd[27]: diskarb isn't ready; we'll try again soon kextd-parent [26]: IOKitWaitQuiet9() timed out - the above I dont know what it is, but it then proceeds to the next couple lines, where it then stalls (if not in -v mode this would be a restart your computer error screen) localhost DirectoryService [65]: Launched version 2.1 (v353.6) localhost /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started I'm very much a newb at Mac, finally saw the light!! So my knowledge is minimal at this point! Any suggestions? thanx! My specs.

~pcwiz Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Right, kextd[27]: kextd_watch_volumes: couldn't set up diskarb sessions kextd[27]: diskarb isn't ready; we'll try again soon These are not errors, these sometimes randomly appear. Restart your computer again and see if a different error comes up with some kexts mentioned. I had the same set of messages come up for me, then when I restarted, it gave me an error with reference to some kexts. The problem turned out to be with some bad video drivers.

cbmkgd Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 @razinx, For chipset nforce430, remember that, as they are, the jas, uphuck and tubgirl 10.4.10 do not support correctly sata drives. For such a chipset, consult this thread for latest news on proper driver for sata drives. So if your hard drive is of the sata type, you will have at least that problem. If your hd is already pata, then this comment doesn't apply. In the osx86 wiki hcl, at least one user reported success for similar hardware (w/ jas 10.4.8+ppf1), on a PATA (IDE) hard drive.

kadmiff Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi Mate... Whilst I dont have an AMD Like Pcwiz I too found that it was video related... I removed the video drivers namely Geforce and nvidia kexts and all was ok.. well it went further... Boot into single user mode then remove the kexts... there is a thread here that shows you exactly what to do... Ill have a look and post a link, Cheers, Paul (kadmiff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razinx Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Still no luck after prev steps, gonna try installing without anything but the core package, will be back later w/ update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razinx Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Alrighty, I'm up and running. Installed w/o any addtnl drivers from the install disk. 2 issues remain. No network, it does show it in the profiler, and it shows built-in ethernet under sys prefs, but its grayed out....how to fix that?? and as prev posted, i guess there is no driver support for Gefore 6150?? with base drivers i only get one resolution and of course no qe/ci , which means I cant run iDVD/iMovie 08. boo, any way around that?? thanx for all the suggestions, this was a week in the making, almost fully complete!! Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but I installed iLife 06' as well, iMovie HD loads but seems to hang after, and iDVD just gets stuck on Loading Themes.....anyone have this issue?? Or is this related to video again?? (08 actually tells me I cant run it, where as 06 tries to actually run the app) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
