Azazel303 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi all, thanks for the help in advance. Installed Jas 10.4.6 on my Intel P4 2.8ghz 845GRG. I selected the intel pacthes, (SSE2 but not three, also tried both, did not try SSE3 only). Installation finished with no problems and I already had Acronis OS Selector enabled. I boot into OSX and it hangs on the Blue screen. I have tried to get it to start into safe mode but that won't work either. How can I enable the -v boot? When ever I select OSX it just starts up like it does on a real Mac. How can I get to a prompt to enter startup commands? Thanks for the help and if you need more info on this computer let me know. I am booting OSX off a partition on the same HD (IDE) as Windows. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 When you boot OSX, the screen turns black and then to grey with a spinning icon. As soon as the screen turns black, start tapping the F8 key quickly and repeatedly until a command prompt appears. Enter -v at the prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel303 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ok, I will give that a try when I get home in a few hours. I will report the errors I see during the -v startup mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel303 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 So when i select Mac OSX from the Arconis OS program it imediatly says Darwin x86 in plain text on a black screen. I hit F8 like a mad man and after about 4-5 second it does to a whie/gray background with the apple symbol and a rotating wheel below it is spinning. I then gets to my "favorite" blue screen where all I get is a mouse and nothing else. So I can't get F8 to work, any other ideas? EDIT: Ok I figured out that you can't boot on this MOBO OSX with a usb mouse and PS2 keyboard. It does not like the PS2 and looks for a USB keyboard. I unpluged the mouse and was able to boot in verbose mode. It stalled at this point: "Like/load error occured for kernal extension /System/Library/Extensions/AudioIPCDriver.kext" Any ideas?

Rammjet Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 "Like/load error occured for kernal extension /System/Library/Extensions/AudioIPCDriver.kext" It's complaining about audio. What do you have in BIOS that you can modify that pertains to audio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel303 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I went into bios and found one item that let me turn audio off. I selected disable and booted in to mac osx with the same results, it went to the blue screen and all I got was the mouse. In verbose modie it still stalled on that key text. I also turned off the LAN just in case with the same results. Am I out of luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavt Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hi, I had the same problem with my installation of JaS 10.4.6, after some reading i've found that you have to install the Combo Update (Select "Custumize" and when you see the updates for SSE2 and SSE3 and other stuff, there is a combo update in there as well). After installing it the problem was solved. Give it a try. Don't install both SSE2 and SSE3 as well as other conflicting updates (Intel and AMD...) Good luck!

Azazel303 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 I tried the combo update and I got the exact same problem. :-( Still trying with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel303 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 How can I delete a .kext from single user mode (startup -s)? Sorry for my lack of Unix but this is a step towards learning. Basically, can someone tell me the command and its usage? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
