No screen after Kalyway combo update to 10.5.2

[absolutelyicy]

I just updated my system from kalyway 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 with combo update (as i want to run aperture 2)

now when i turn on, it shows the apple logo and the rotating circle, but then it shows a black screen (no signal)

the system remains on, the harddisk blinks occasionally, so i suspect it actually boots into mac os x, but it fails to display anything

 

My system:

Kalyway 10.5.1 without vanilla(I can't use it since I'm using IDE dvd + jmiron, so I needed to use another computer to install mac os x)

intel core 2 duo e6400

2gb ram

Nvidia 7600GS with 256MB DDR3 (using nvinject drivers)(i tried both dvi and vga output)

asus p5b deluxe

250GB hitachi(40GB mac os x/210GB unformatted)

 

I need help to fix my system!!!

thanks in advanced

I`ve got the same problem.

Start booting the system and wait for 2-2+ mins. Make tea or watch tv, toilett, fast-sex, etc..

I haven`t got fix yet.

You need to update the Kernel.

Thanks, but is it possible to install the kernel without re-installing leopard again?

Yes..

1. I dragged (copied) the kernel to my desktop, and renamed it mach_kernel_91. Then I physically erased the old mach_kernel from the root of my Leopard hard drive. (no published methods do this, but it worked for me)

 

2. Then, I downloaded the kernel and unzipped it to my desktop and renamed it mach_kernel.

 

3. Using Finder (GUI) I dropped the new mach_kernel into the root directory (/) of the OSx86 installation.

 

4. Open terminal and type these commands to set the permissions correctly on the new kernel:

 

cd /

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel mach_kernel ; sudo chmod -R 755 mach_kernel

 

5. Repaired permissions and rebooted.

 

6. Replaced the system.kext with the new 9.2 version in Kalyway Combo updater backup kext folder using kexthelper

 

7. Repair permissions again, and reboot - shouldn't have any lag, and you should have the new kernel in System Profiler under Software.

Thanks for your detail method, but how can I do it when I can't enter mac os x?

Use a linux live CD. I reccomend Kubuntu.

As for the repairing, use the installer DVD.
