Exclamation [Solved] Black screen after boot process
Hello

I updated to 10.5.8 from 10.5.2. In order to correct the DMG mounting issues I ripped the seatbelt.kext from 10.5.5 (which worked last time), but now on reboot I get the boot process and then a black screen for about 5 minutes and THEN I get into OS X.

I tried seatbelt from 10.5.2 and same issue. I updated my kernel to 9.8.0 (from 9.2.0 :S) and *think* I got the correct seatbelt.kext and System.kext. I used the ones that came from my PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8. Is this the issue and should I be using other kexts?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

As far as Seatbelt.kext and System.kext if you pulled them from 10.5.8 on your G4 they should be fine. You can double check though.
mach_kernel 9.8.0
System.kext 9.8.0
Seatbelt.kext from 10.5.8 (Build 78) You can check this by following the directions below. http://www.infinitemac.com/f5/update...lt-kext-t1992/

All seems to be corrected now after removing some nvidia kexts that I no longer used.

Thanks anyway

Excellent. I was going to mention your graphics injectors but I figured we would tackle one problem at a time. Most of the time extra files like that completely prevent booting into OSX from what I have seen. It is interesting that after an extended period you were able to get into OSX. You do you use an EFI string for your graphics or something else?

Yes
I use an EFI string. All my issues are gone now apart from the fact that USB drives will not work in 10.5.8 but they did in 10.5.2. Last time I fixed this by turning ON legacy device support, but now this just halts the boot completely at 'USBEHCI'.

Any idea what to do about that?
