VicTheKnife Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 So i just installed 10.4.3 and the installation went fine. At the end of the installation it wouldnt reboot on its own, so after 30 minutes I just restarted it. Then when I booted up, it started working like regular, but then I got a message that said that I must restart my system. I did and then nothing happened. So I booted up in safe mode and I got it to start working but even in safe mode, it would not restart. Then I thought maybe I had the wrong version of Mac Osx, but I guess I had the right version all along. Has anyone had this problem? What do you recomend? ps, it took me forever to get my hard-drive configured and now it has! I am so so anxious to get this going!

Technobob Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 At startup hit F8 and at the Darwin prompt type -v this will tell you where your system is crashing report back with the info. Also give us some more info system specs and patches used Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7572-problem-restarting-can-only-run-in-safe-mode/#findComment-47373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicTheKnife Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Specs: Intel P 4 socket 478 prescot 3.0gHz 512 SDRAM JaS 1111a Generic Patch v4.2b PPF ATI Radeon 9800 SATA HD (hasn't been an issue at all) I think it might be a video card problem? I'll run a -v and report the error Edited January 25, 2006 by VicTheKnife Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7572-problem-restarting-can-only-run-in-safe-mode/#findComment-48361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 i got the same problem, my computer doesnt restart. when doing -v i see that there is an RT2560 (wireless network card) that is trying to reconnect to the network. i guess thats just a problem with the driver not being able to halt itself. so far the only resolution for that error that i can see is a timer bypass that will cut-off any services that don't take requests from system halt, or just a new driver all together. sooooooo -v should tell you the problem. atleast i know it did for me. fixing it is another story. atleast its no harddrive read/write services running while i press reset, which is good Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7572-problem-restarting-can-only-run-in-safe-mode/#findComment-48470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
