lsarcher Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The Specs of the notebook are: Intel T550 1,66 GHz 2 Gig RAM Intel 950 Graphics The Installation of 10.5 didn't work with the disks i had. The Installation with Jas 10.4 did fine, but after booting i just came up with a grey screen after the apple logo and the short flash of a blue screen. (Seems like the grey screen is robably a video that should get played?) I tried different installation versions: With all drivers, without drivers, Just with the 950 Driver... But none worked. Is there a way to get into the terminal instead of X11? The Apple boot keys seem not to work for me, and there is no prompt were i could enter anything before booting, so i wanted to give the terminal a try. Any other hints? thx lsarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westwaerts Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 on booting darwin hit F8 and type -v to see what is done, come back and post your errors or where it stopped ( but not only the last line) if darwin boots, the apple logo comes up with the spinning wheel, and you get a blue screen afterwards, then it stops, you dont have the right grafic drivers installed for your card. but come back with the error log ( you are almost there, most people hang earlier) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westwaerts Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 now we need the osx version you installed 10.4.x from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wywywywy Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 -s will take you to terminal. You sure you have GMA950 rather than GMA900? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsarcher Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I installed the "JaS 10.4.8 AMD INTEL SSE2 SSE3" DVD. Kalyway 10.5.1 and some other 10.5. didn't work for me. About the graphics card: I am pretty sure it is a 950. Sticker on the notebook says it and darwin boot mentions it as 82945G Chipset Family, which seems to are the 940, 945 and 950 chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wywywywy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 In that case, try to remove the 915 driver from the extensions directory. rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntel915* (if you have backups handy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
