Kyrie Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey everyone, I downloaded this file from somewhere and It boots up fine. no errors except for firewire (I don't use that anyway) and it loads apple logo with loading thing underneath and stays like that forever. Anything I'm doing wrong? Things ive tried. -cpus=1 - -v I know it works cause ive seen youtube videos with my exact computer. Anyone care to shed some light? Thank you, Kyrie Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207928-ideneb-v16-dell-inspiron-6400/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveta Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 the full secure mode firewire isn't a problem, search for it. deactive the fw port from bios, then reboot. you will read the real problem. the full secure mode firewire isn't a problem, search for it. deactive the fw port from bios, then reboot. you will read the real problem.

Kyrie Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Okay, im at bios. How do I disable Firewire? all I can see is localhost kextd{47}: Can't add repository (not a directory) so far is it kextd[47] rootfilesystem is read-only; skipping kernal link data regeneration. Localhost DirecttoryService[53]: Launched version 5.6 (v515.24) ^I can't make any sense of that. Okay.. uhm.. very odd.. I did -v and it loaded everything and is installing now. Please remain free though Okay.. should I ignore if it says my disc needs to be cleaned?

Daveta Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 1) don't talk about link and how to download. try if the green demon can help you. 2) you have to specify which chipset you have.
