Amon Duul Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've just installed 10.4.5 on an old 1.8ghz Celeron with 256mb RAM. For some reason XP started running incredibly slow on the system, this is why I installed OS X. To my surprise it runs great, better than XP ever did, sound works which is awesome. Not sure if the graphics do, but I'm using a 1024 x 768 monitor anyway. Absolutely love it! The only problem is, when I turn on my machine I get the black 'Darwin x86' screen firstly, which asks about startup settings and counts down. But then when I press enter to start up I get Matrix like text flashing really fast down the screen for a few seconds, then another black screen telling me whats loading and whats not kind of thing. Then after a while the desktop loads and everything's fine. I would rather have the apple logo screen though when I switch my computer on. How do I go about doing that?

Ianxxx Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 And how do I go about doing that? Open finder go Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration copy com.apple.Boot.plist to your desktop open it with text editor remove "-v" save replace the one in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration with the one on your desktop open terminal and type cd /Volumes/"your hard disk"/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration sudo chown -R 0:0 com.apple.Boot.plist sudo chmod -R 755 com.apple.Boot.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84495-no-apple-screen-when-booting-up-just-loading-messages/#findComment-600971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
