thesog Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 If you are able to boot into safe mode, then you probably just need to rebuild your kernel extension cache files. There should be instructions lying around on how to do that. I don't remember off hand but it is the kextcache -z -e -a i386; kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions -a i386 command. Double check the switches to be sure.

Double check the switches to be sure. No i'm not able to boot at all!! I prompts me to restart way before i can get to the installation screen....

thesog Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 What kind of hardware are you running? Are you using SATA or PATA disks? What kind of processor, chipset, etc. would be helpful.

djeglin Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I just posted a similar answer in the install forum for someone.. I had this problem and it turned out to be as simple as the jumper settings on the dvd drive. I think it has to be set to "Master" for the install to boot off it, or at least to one or the other... As far as I can tell, "Auto" does not work (When mine was set to "Auto" I had the same problem as you, once i switched the jumper on the back of the drive to "Master", it worked just fine!) Hope this helps, Cheers Dave Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12447-hangs-on-grey-screen-with-stop-sign-please-help/#findComment-80470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
