cgsheen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 That happens to EVERYONE (well, almost) using the Zephyroth 10.5.1 install. Go to the WIKI ( http://osx86.wikidot.com/ ) - it'll help you with the known issues. This one has to do with booting into "safe mode" and deleting all the nvidia .kexts that get installed initially... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branndon Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Awesome! I'm on my way to the fix then. THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branndon Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I've tried that, but it tells me all the files are read only, and it doesn't delete them... any pointers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerTea Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 boot with -s mount -uw / rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*kext exit Don't forget the bold command, this will give read/write access to the partition!

cgsheen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Failing that, boot the OS in SAFE MODE: At first, when the boot loader is "counting down", hit Enter and at the prompt: TYPE -x and hit Enter. That should get you past the kernel panic and into the initial setup screens. If you're not sure your LAN Adapter is 100% supported, disable it in the BIOS before you do this. When the Initial setup asks how you connect to the Internet, tell it you DON'T have an Internet connection. If you make it past Account Creation, and into the OSX desktop, simply use Finder, navigate to your OS disk, the System folder, the Library folder, then the Extensions folder. There, move all the "geForce*.kext" files (anything starting with "geforce"), and all of the "nv*.*" files to the Waste Basket. (I also get rid of "forcedeth.kext" - but that's just because of the grief "nForce Network Controller" has given me...) It'll ask for your password. Once you've done that EMPTY the Waste Basket and restart the computer. It should boot to the OS without issue. Then you can go about loading the proper drivers (.kexts) for your video card and etc...
