Hae? Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi all, i've installed OS X 10.4.4/5 for x86 yesterday at my Dell Dimension 8300. All went fine, the system is running very smooth. But one thing goes wrong: the machine doesnt make a shutdown when i want to reboot into XP (or just want to go to bed ). It hangs at a blank black screen with a non-blinking cursor. I'm waiting some time (longest time was around 20 Minutes) but nothing happens, even no error-message appears. Next time i want to ruin OS X the filesystem has to replay some lost transactions. Until now nothing worse is happen, but i think it is dangerous to switch the machine off instead off shutting down properly. What should i do? Thanks, J. PS: The reboot after the installation-process was ok, there were 3 lines with "mach-kernel is rebooting" or such things.

Hae? Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 In my case i have a partial solution since yesterday: I've changed the graphics card. Before i've had a Geforce FX 5900 and now a ATI x1600 Pro (AGP). Unfortunately i had to reinstall the whole OS (10.4.4 updated to 10.4.5), because i cant get it to run except it was booting with "-x" . After Reinstall with the new graphics card and some work at its config the machine is running fine with QE/CI-enabled in 1280x1024 :D and it makes a proper shutdown in 9 times of 10. regards, J.

G_G Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Same problem here with ASRock 775Dual-915GL. Exact same installation on Intel D915GAG doesn't have the same problem. On the ASRock the issue is with my wireless USB adapter. See here.
