amiatrome Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I am on a Acer Travelmate 290 (Centrino) using the already patched 10.4.4 DVD available on torrents. It boots and installation completes succesfully. On reboot however, regardless of what kernel options I pass, -v or -s, a lot of white text scrolls by(kexts loading I presume) and then it goes to a black screen. I think its a kext problem. Anyone else having this problem? What are your computer specs?

gianry Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Same thing for me. It didn' happen when I just restored 10.4.4 Ghost backup image. But when I updated 10.4.3 with 10.4.4 DVD Generic install. Linux style... ohh yes mine too. I updated the 10.4.3 system to 10.4.4 but I can say the graphic card performance are decreased too.

aerotus Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I get this problem when installing from a 10.4.1 installation. What version of OS X86 are you installing it under The DVD (on demonoid.com, search for 10.4.4, added Feb 21) I had obtained was patched to be bootable and installable without the need for a prior installation. Has anyone found a possible workaround? Although I can't get into Mac single user mode, I am dual-booting with Linux so I can mount the partitions can make changes from within Linux.
