bob vansteel Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 ok i've been looking for an answer for days, couldnt find one and decided to ask it here... everything went great, installed using kalyway 10.5.2 DVD... got an HFS+ error, so made my vista partition active... once in vista, i opened up easyBCD, fixed the HFS+ error, and set up the bootloader... restarted and evrything was great(dont get HFS+ error anymore), but once darwin starts to boot up leopard(the apple and spinning wheel show up), then i get a message saying i need to restart computer.... i do, but this contiuously happens!? NOTE: i never was able to get into the osx setup so i havent seen the welcome video or anything yet... any ideas on how to fix this!!!???? could i just have the wrong kernal?(ive tried vannila, and sleep, also i am positive i have an intel sse3, but would haveing a dual core be a problem) HELP!!!!!!!!

bob vansteel Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 i saw somthing that booting into safe mode might work, so i tried that(F8..-x) but still get the same you must restart message now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slax0r Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 When this happened to me, it was because I had the wrong kexts for my video card. I booted into single user mode (-s at the boot prompt), navigated to /System/Library/Extensions, and deleted anything that began with ATI, GeForce, or NVDA.

bob vansteel Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 could you tell me how to do so....i have a nvidia geforce 7600, i know there is no drivers for it, but i got leopard to work with iatkos once before, but i couldnt get it to work with my bootloader, so i installed kalyway(ok whatever, just could someone please specify what i must do? ) thanks!

slax0r Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 First, boot into single user mode by typing -s at the boot prompt and pressing enter. The system should start up in a text only mode, with no graphical user interface. When everything is done booting up, you should be at a command prompt. Type in the following commands: mount -uw / rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/GeForce.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Ge*.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.kext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/ATI*kext exit See if that works.
