iPC 10.5.6 Final only starts sometimes....

eskild12 · #1 10-29-2009, 11:18 AM

Hey I have installed iPC 10.5.6 final and everything works well except that the pc only starts sometimes. I can get it to boot 100% if i first boot in windows and then restart and boot in mac then it always work but i don't wanna do that everytime. What happens when i boot in mac is that it will stay at black screen with a cursor in the corner and i can't move the mouse.
I have no idea why it only works sometimes.

Thanks for all help

Please post your complete Hardware.
Furhtermore, let it boot into black screen once, the boot it using your method and hit the following on Terminal: "cp /var/log/system.log ~/Desktop/system.log" (The ~ you can get by WindowsKey + N) and attach the file, which appeared on your Desktop. Maybe that will help us analyzing your problem.

I think it is something wrong with the shutdown because when i'm in mac and use shutdown and then try to start it again i get first apple screen then black and then blue and last a black screen with a cursor in the corner and can't move it. When i use Restart in mac everything works well so i guess something is wrong with the shutdown part.

Hello,

Well, you know what? I too have that problem with iPC updated to 10.5.8. Everything works perfect but to boot correctly I have to boot into Windows then restart and OS X works great, otherwise if I boot it first I get stuck in a blue screen after the apple logo. I wonder what is causing this...

You might try to use this Utility, to shutdown your computer:
