TKiet Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi everyone, here's my problem... After installing Kalyway's OS X using either GUID or MBR option, I don't understand why my OS X will just hang at the bootscreen. It'll show Darwin, then the bootscreen with the little spiral circle going, but after awhile the spiral will just stop, and I've waited 45 minutes and still nothing? Is there anything I'm doing wrong? My specs: ASUS P5K-E motherboard 2 GBs of RAM -- 1066 MHz Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU nVidia GeForce 8600GT video card Sound Blaster X-Fi PCI sound card (used for recording vocals) Western Digital 1600JS and 2500JS (1600JS is for Mac, 2500JS is for Windows) TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S203N/Samsung SATA DVD+/-RW I don't understand... can anyone please help? What can I do to bypass the bootscreen without any hangs? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lag0matic Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Try booting with -v, and look for error messages? or use -x to go into "safe mode" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKiet Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 This is the last message I get in verbose mode: Feb 12 11:23:49 localhost /usr/bin/ocspd[75]: starting after that, nothing, and I've waited for 45 minutes as before. What's up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lag0matic Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 wow, no kernel panics or anything before that? I'm really not sure! did you try -x.. see if the OS will load that way? if it does it's most likely a driver or setting issue. Try booting with cpus=1 too, I've read that dual cores can sometims freak out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
