mrbonkers Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I updated my system to 10.5.5 and narrowed my problem to 3 kexts. Geforce.kext, nvdanv50hal.kext and nvdaresman.kext. I am trying to get qe/ci to work. Here is the problem. When I boot in verbose mode, everything loads perfectly until the part when it is about to load the desktop. My computer would freeze/hang and I am not able to type. When I remove these 3files, it will load but no qe/ci. Has anyone came across this problem and how did you fixed it?

mrbonkers Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Right now, it is nvdaresman which is causing my computer not to boot to the GUI. I am still able to eject my dvd drive using the eject burton on my keyboard. My efi string works as it detected both my graphics card.
