Can't boot. AMD system

[KireD]

Hey everyone! So this is mt first post! :eek:
I'm pretty new to Mac in all ways, I've never had a legit one either. So I managed to install OSX 10.6.6i Hazard without any problems on my computer

Crosshair IV Formula
Phenom II x4 965
HD 5770 CrossFireX
Corsair Dominator-GT 1600 CL7

BUT I cant boot =/ I'm using -x; -v; GraphicsEnabler=No; busratio=20.
With all these I get this:

Right after this it reboots..
So thanks in advance for the help!

looks like you might have to check ahci setting on your HDD

Yuck. That "decryption not yet reached" looks like it starts wayyyyy up at the start of the boot process and should not be there. I've actually seen this problem a number of times but I don't remember exactly what i did to fix it. I think it had something to do with DSMOS kext (don't steal Mac os). And can be counteracted by placing a special kext (which one I forget) into your extra folder that provides DSMOS with requirements that it neads to properly boot. I would google the error and see what old entries pop up. If you don't find anything I posted my /extra, boot, and kernel files in a thread started yesterday, titled very similar to yours. You can click the "today" link and follow the thread written by "soh" and replied to by me if you want to try the kexts in my /extra folder.

If anybody else can set this problem right please step forward. Best of luck.

The "decryption not yet reached" is not his problem. Mine does that until it is reached and loads just fine. His problem is probably due to not finding the HDD controller. He probably just needs to set it to AHCI mode and try again.

Thank you guys for the replies! It is already on AHCI... Since I've this computer I only use AHCI, my Windows partition uses AHCI... So I don't think that is the problem...
I thought the problem would be something about the "Decryption hasn't succeeded...", but if it isn't I don't know... =/

What could it be?

What is your disk0s1? Did you install Chameleon onto and EFI partition or to Extra on your boot disk? The rest of the output looks pretty normal for an AMD system. Also, if you're not using try removing ATY_Init.kext. I am starting to think it's graphics related. ATY_Init.kext will probably boot in safe mode as well, causing it to not load the desktop if it's not properly configured. I would see if you can also try removing your device id from ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext and see if you can get to the desktop. If so, update to 10.6.8 and put "npci=0x2000" in your boot flags and use AnV's latest 10.6.8 kernel. 10.6.8 has automatic IOPCI detection which will automatically choose the right framebuffer for your GPU. I would worry about getting GPU working after getting it to boot properly first.

Hey! Thx for the reply!
I'm pretty sure disk0 is my Asus DVD Drive and I'm not sure if I understand this "Did you install Chameleon onto and EFI partition or to Extra on your boot disk?", sorry, my English isn't the best.
So I deleted that ATY_Init thingy and now I get the exact same thing just without the ATY_Init lines. Also, i didn't had to use "GraphicsEnabler=No".

If you don't know what I mean by "install Chameleon onto an EFI partition", then you didn't and that's fine. What disk is in your DVD drive? Have you removed the device ID for your GPU from ATI5000Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX3000.kext?

[KireD]

Oh ok, now I get it. And nope, I didn't do that. =) The disk on my drive is iBoot and I didn't removed the device ID yet... because I don't know how?
