Have you tried booting with "-f -x -v"? this might reload a missing chipset kext.
Have you tried any other distros?

It is hanging right before it would load your chipset up to enable you to load the rest of the DVD.

Hey Nfoav8or and Lance IOUSBFamily.kext does work for me because my usb slots aren't wokring do you guys know of any other usb kexts that might work.

I just use the retail one... I'll PM it to you but I'm not sure (depending on your distro) if it has been altered or not.

nfoav8or, I really appreciate that one last thing. I know you and Lance were clowning me but it's all cool. I'm going to school for Computer Programming and Business Information Systems. Let me cut to the chase I don't know how to do the efi string or if I'm supposed to find it I tried Macvidia and it gave me resolution's but after a while the machine would display the crash screen with the power button behind it and eventually starting hanging upon booting.

(Delete/Move Geforce*.kext, NV*.kext.
Install MacVidia 1.0.81; don't restart; open terminal;
type 'sudo mkdir/NVBackup'
type 'sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.bundle /NVBackup'
then type 'sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/NV*.plugin /NVBackup'
restart - open display properties and get 1280x800.)

I got this from a guy named manofmany and I followed his instructions what he said worked but then it made my machine crash.

I read on Insanelymac that Core Image can be enabled but quartz extreme can't. I just wanted my menu bar to be transparent like everyone else's but because of my video it won't work will nfoav8or? Please could you tell me how to set up the eif string to do the efi string for my video card.

hey bud... we were clowning with ya earlier but not anymore.

edit that code above to be:
boot with "-s"
now when you use a combo updater past 10.5.2, the graphics update that fixes the old problems with these kexts is included. (make sure you are using the voodoo kernel with the supported kexts for this)

To get EFI strings working, get OSx86 Tools Utility and click on the "Add EFI Strings/Boot Flags"
another window will pop up called "Boot Editor"
click on the GFX Strings button in the top left corner.
select your Gfx card (NVidia GeForce 6150 xxxMB) then copy the hexadecimal code printed out in the bottom.
now open Terminal and type:
enter your password then the Terminal will change to the nano editor.
use the arrow keys to scroll down to right before the last two lines which should read:
now add a few lines before this to so the whole thing looks like:
now to save it while in the nano editor, press [ctrl]+[o], [enter] to overwrite the original, and finally [ctrl]+[x] to exit.

Thats it for EFI.

Now when you update your graphics to the new graphics update, the new NVDA kexts will recognize this and give you the resolutions allowed by the 6150...

For Core Imaging... you can now try to install MacVidia.

EDIT: in the code at the top you can also type in:
anywhere between the 2nd and 6th lines

nfoav8or,
when i boot with "-f-x-v" on the disc, it will just try to install again. and if i boot "-f-x-v" on the hd, it goes to the screen with the gray apple with no loading signal. Only other distros i have tried is the "cpus=1" which will give me a loading signal and that's it. So, do you think i should start installing it with a different chipset each time?

first off... distro's are the different developer's distributions of OSx86 (i.e. kalyway, ideneb, zephyroth, Leo4All, iPC, JaS, etc.). I think you are confusing this term with the term boot flags...

secondly... so you're telling me you successfully installed?... if this is the case then yes, it sounds like you need to go back in and re-install. Make sure you CUSTOMIZE your install using the button in the lower left corner of the installer window just after you select where you want to install. Add in just your chipset for now unless you are completely sure of all the rest.

thirdly... if you use the boot flags properly, when you use "-v" at all, you shouldn't see any Graphics until you are booted into the system.

-v is verbose
-x is safe mode
-f is a forced load of the Extensions folder (which includes all the kext fixes you customize to as well as many other essential kernel extensions)

If you've already done this and it still doesn't work, let me know as it may be a little more in-depth than these simple fixes. Best of luck bud.

EDIT: just in case, I better throw this out there for you... when you enter the boot flags in, don't include those quotation marks from above... those are there only to show a separation from the rest of the text.

Now i am having a totally different problem. i can't even install anymore. when i try, it hangs up at the "kernel version: ..."

wait... what? it's not loading even with all the boot flags? "-f -x -v cpus=1"?

you press f8, then press any other key during the countdown, then enter the boot flags and press enter... installer should load up.

Only thing that i changed since yesterday was the bios settings so i can run my windows that has its own hd. I think there is something in the bios setting that i am missing.

when i use the use "-v", "-f -x -v", or "-f -x -v cpus=1" boot flags, it keeps stopping at "kernel version:..."

I am finishing up a download of a different "distro" iATKOS.
