Gabriel Simões Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 First, I'd like to ask sorry for double posting (install and pos install). I didn't know where it should be posted so please admins, feel free to delete the wrong placed post. I've just installed the osx using one version of Jas 10.4.8 compilation (don't know exactly wich as I got the dvd from a friend). I have Windows xp installed so what I did was to destroy a second partition (extended + logical) and created another primary partition, fat32. Restarted the computer and booted using the dvd .... formated the second partition as HFS Extended (....) and installed everything from the cd but the Intell stuff. Installation went great and I got no error messages or stuff ... everything seemed to copied/installed and at the end I was asked to reboot the machine .... After rebooting darwing came up and I could choose between windows / osx. Booted windows to check if everything was ok .... took a little time and a message of a new hardware appeared .... it installed (don't know what it installed anyway...) and I rebooted again into windows ... everything seemed ok. So i tried osx for the first time .... the initial screen came up gracefully, the gray one with the apple logo and the spyral .... but then the video halted (monitor's power light started to flash) and I got no more hd activity. Some minutes after I decided to reboot and try again using -v ... I got many strange messages, among them some like those: PCI 1022: family specific matching fails Display: family specific matching fails Titan: could not find a display match ... and ended with something like couldn't read user specified ..... (it was quick so I couldn't get the whole message) Then I started with -v -x (secure mode), and got those messages: Display: family specific matching fails Titan: could not find a display match ... Titan: trying nvidia match (something like this) Titan: could not find a display match Natit: setting model ati Radeon 9600 series Secondary Titan: could not find a display match and then a message about a login screen or some ... and everything stopped again. My computer is: Semprom 64 2600+, mb: Asus K8V-MX, Radeon 9550 agp 8x video card. hd: seagate ata 133 120 gb (1 ntfs and 1 hfs+ partitions). 768mb ram ddr1 400, hp cd recorded and lg dvd recorder. Audigy 2 zs platinum soundcard. About my videocard: It was bought OEM but I don't think it was "updated" to work as 9600 pro (not yet ;D). Please, any help tip suggestion advice question will be happily accepted. Thank you and sorry for my bad english, Gabriel Simões EDIT : ------------- I've made the mistake of installing every single patch in the cd. reinstalled choosing only what I needed and it works!

enfox Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I have the same issue, I find that if I move my mouse while the the os is loading and it transitions from the grey screen to the black that my monitor cuts off and then after a second or two it turns back on and loads the desktop.

Ion Darie Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 hmm let me try to help a little bit... what you should try is boot in single mode and do: rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Titan.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AGPGart.kext It basically removes Natit, Titan, AGPGart kext's i had some issues with them so i fixed my problem the way i wrote a few lines before now see if your system boots you wont be able to change the resolution but yo will be able to boot i think if it boots we can find a suitable solution for you graphics card to work QE/CI if we can... i'm putting this tread to bookmarks and ill be checking it, so i'm waiting for your responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
