Why do I get a black screen on 10.6.2 boot ?

This vanilla install worked fine on 10.6.1

-----

EDIT

-----

I deleted the gfx strings from com.apple.boot.plist

 

and I can now boot in VESA mode with 10.6.2

 

 

So I assume that my hex string is bad.

 

 

I believe its something with the 8800GT. I have the exact same card. I was using an EFI string as well. Same exact error after updating from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2, black screen. Removed the EFI string works again. I tried creating a new string, same problem. As of this moment I have yet to find a fix but Im positive its something to do with the 8800GT 512mb EFI String.

Good to know I'm not alone !

 

I'm now sure it's this HEX string.

 

Did you try with another string like 8800GT 256MB ?

Did you try an injector ?

 

If you find a solution please tell me :P

Updated to 10.6.2 via Software Update. Everything working great so far, GA-EP35-DS3, GF8800GTX (via DSDT), sound still working (ALC889a). Had to delete SleepEnabler.kext from /E/E before updating, placed the udated version from Stellarola to /E/E after the update was finished. Everything is fine now.

Seems only reported success are those with DSDT for GFX

 

Since I don't understand anything about customizing the DSDT.aml,

 

I've just compiled it with DSDT Patcher GUI,

so that ethernet now works without kext

and so that I don't get the CMOS reset on boot,

 

 

but I don't know how to make the DSDT aware of

my ALC889A

and my 8800GT 512Mo

 

 

I heard that it's possible but I don't understand anything by reading the tutorials.

 

Any help for a DSDT noob ?

HI all.

Can anyone here help a noob in Terminal commands?

I updated my system without knowing that SleepEnabler would brick my system in 10.6.2 and now I can´t access my SL install. As I keep one Kalyway DVD here for emergency my only option for accessing my SL install is via Terminal in what I am a noob. I know almost nothing, so I ask... can anyone send me the line to type in Terminal to delete the SleepEnabler.kext ?

 

Cheers.

bb.

made backup of kernel and extensions, updated and worked without a problem. no need to patch anything back.

cool. now trying to figure out how to get gma950 64bit to work. just greeted with a black screen when I boot with 64bit. everything working 100% 32bit.

can anyone send me the line to type in Terminal to delete the SleepEnabler.kext ?

 

 

rm -R /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Extra/Extensions/SleepEnabler.kext

 

(replace Macintosh\ HD by the name of the partition where /Extra is installed)

core i5 on p55 works great on vanilla kernel in 32-bit and 64-bit, but a 64-bit realtek r1000 kext needs to be compiled/ported for x86_64 mode to be money on these current p55 boards.

 

So, u say 10.6.2 brings vanilla flavour to i5 users? Would be quiet nice, as i plan to upgrade :)

 

Which hardware do u use???

Seems like the 7xxx Series GEForce cards are the ones KP'ing. Wonder if we can restore a KEXT from 10.6.1... No idea where to start looking though.

 

I had the same I am using 7300gt but managed to get it to work after adding the following to extra folder.

  • NVInject - An Nvidia graphic injector *x64 only
  • Natit - Graphic injector KEXT with editable paramaters.

You get get these from Stella's blog http://stellarola.tumblr.com/post/165429070/prepare-yourself

also getting a BLACK screen on boot.....

 

using 9800 GT with or without efi strings same result

 

using DVI-HDMI TV reports loss of signal.............

 

ol' Nvenabler didnt work.........

 

switching dvi ports didnt work either

 

anybody have any suggestions.......... ???

 

I know we went through this with 10.5.2 and the last major graphics update

Hi to all.

I update my Hackbook.

Acer Extensa 5220 from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2

I download the update from Apple site.

I don't update from software update.

I update the system, and overwrite the NullCPU kext with the new from Netkas.

I don't have sleppenabler.

I reboot, and after, when I choose my partition with chameleon 2RC3 and Pcefi 10.5 , after 3 second, my notebook reboot.

I can't acces to desktop.

The only way to run SL is from my HD USB installation with 10.6.1.

 

Can you help me?

With the repeat reboot after i choose SL 10.6.2 in Chameleon.

 

Thank you very very much to all.

 

Sorry for my english errors.

 

Bye bye.
