stuck on grey screen with uphuck v1.4i r3

[lamentofking]

I was able to install uphuck's v1.4 r3 on my dell inspiron 600m notebook. Now the prob is, when I boot, I can get past the grey apple and the spinning wheel but directly afterwards, the apple goes away and I am left with a grey screen. Is it because of certain settings I pick in the install menu? Can anyone please help me out here? Here are the specs:

It sounds like the video is not initializing after boot.

Can you boot in verbose mode and get the last few lines?

Might just be the wrong video driver installed.

Get into verbose by pressing F8 and entering "-v" without the quotes

It should freeze and go no further. Let us know and we should be able to help you

a little further.

ok. i got the exact last lines. they were:

 

IOATAblock StorageDriver :: complete zeroblocktransfer WARNING completing a zero block transfer.

 

 

and it did that for at least a min or more. it never went away. before that though there were some lines saying:

 

hfs: WARNING blocks on vol disk0s3 not allocated

 

and

 

SystemStarter[56]: Waiting for application services

 

 

So what's the deal with all of this?

did I mention that I could never get out of verbose mode and into mac os x because of these errors when i choose to start with verbose mode?

Alrighty try two things:First is to run a repair via Disk Utility off the installer DVD.Second is to boot into single user mode (Flag is -s at darwin bootloader)Then type "fsck_hfs -r /dev/disk0s3" and press return. Without the quotes of course!Let us know what this yields!Oh just FYI the -r rebuilds the catalog. regular fsck will not fix the problem apparently.But give this a go and let us know.You don't have Windows or Linux on another partition on the drive do you by any chance?

I do and I solved it. Well it turned out that I had a bad combo of display drivers installed. So I studied and only installed the driver for my display and im in! Well I do have another prob now. The wireless card doesn't seem to be supported by default. So I found a driver for my Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card in the driver section of the forums. It still seems to be undeveloped though because it only sees one connection, unlike how it works under windows xp when i see multiple connections. Do you have any suggestions to how I can see the other connections or do I need a another wireless driver?
