be sure to repair permissions and boot with -v -f -x then try to install drivers from there

i can't boot into safe mode. That's why I think it may be something other than my video kext

boot with -s then repair permissions the commands are everywhere just search

did all that and still booting into a blue screen. I mach_kernel2 (my voodoo kernel) -s
typed in this code:

sudo -s
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/NVinject.kext

and nothin

you need to include "&&" in between them... when in single user mode you don't need to include sudo

boot with "-s" and use:
Code:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/
chmod -R 755 Extensions/ && chown -R root:wheel Extensions/
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
restart
now it will load all the extensions at boot since it doesn't have a .mkext file to use (don't worry, it will recreate it).

nvoav8or -- did all that and it al went just dandy...

restarted and still just a big 'ol blue screen after my apple load screen...

any other suggestions? and again, thanks for your help all the time. you rock

nfoav8or 12-05-2008 04:28 AM
are you getting any "failed" kext loads during bootup (remember to use "-v" boot flag)?

EDIT: also, do you have any conflicting graphics extensions installed?

axhi 12-05-2008 04:32 AM
you know what, I may have other kexts aside from nvinject, is there a way to check. and i dont see any errors except for firewire, but that always did that.

I know that this is how I do the install from Lawless

I click the first driver for nVidia which I'm not certain what it is, but I know its the one I select. Then it loads my computer fine. After that I install the nvinject kext and then my computer has QE/CI. I'm pretty certain there are other kexts in there though. That idk how to get out.

i have a bunch of NVDA kexts, are those good?

axhi 12-05-2008 05:02 AM
i also see an Extensions.mkext.KGrQ in my /System/Library folder, is that any good?
