johnbirch Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I installed osx86 native on my hard drive with dd and the deadmoo image. When I boot in normal mode, I get the grey apple on the white screen, but it all of a sudden shows a green screen with a message in a few languages saying: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" I have attached a photo of this screen. I can successfully boot into safe mode. When in safe mode I applied the Maxxuss 0.4.1 SSE3 -> SSE2 patch, but this didn't make any difference when booting in normal mode. Has anyone seen this? What can I do to boot in normal mode. Gear: Gigabyte K8NS - Athon 64 3400+ socket 754 SSE2 no SSE3 ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Sony DRU-720 DVD burner LG DVD player Vantec internal media reader Thanks.

knauf1 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 had the same! for me my ati radeon 9600 seems to be the problem. booting with -x was successfull. somebody posted a solution. move all kernel extension that begin with ATI... from /System/Library/Extension somewhere else or rename them. after that you can boot without the -x cu knauf1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealRemnant Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Make sure that ACPI is turned on or that you're booting with platform=X86PC on the Darwin boot line. I had that issue as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleSoft Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 How do you get into this DARWIN boot line? I never see any options for it. Oh by the way I lost the ability to boot into XP Pro? Could my Hyperthreading on my processor have something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealRemnant Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 When you first turn on the computer, you generally are given something like 10 secs before it boots. Press a key at that count down and you'll get to the boot line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
