[HELP PLEASE] kalyway blue screen with normal cursor

grafixidea · #1 11-25-2009, 12:54 AM

have 2 problems after kalyway isntallation and restart:
(1) can't boot without DVD. (Solved)
(2) when I boot with DVD, I watched the welcome video smoothly and create ny account, and after all when I press "Done" I waited the desktop to load, but nothing happened. only blue screen with normal black cursor (not blinking) I can move the cursor but nothing else.

whatever the problem (1) is solved but i still cant go beyond this line, every time I reboot (from HDD now, after solving DVD problem) after gray apple logo screen the leopard background appears for 1 second and then it fades to the blue screen with cursor, again the cursor not blinking as i read in some posts, it normal black cursor and i can move it around but nothing else.

my specs:
- mobo gigabyte GA-8I45PL-G (intel 945PL express chipset)
- intel pentium D 3.4ghz / 4m cache
- viga gigabyte GV-NX62TC256 (nVidia Geforce 6200)
- ram kingstone 2gb ddr2
- hdd WD 640gb SATA
- dvd Asus not sata
- samsung 23" LCD display

I will appreciate any advice, please help me to get this mac os to work

Try to boot in Safemode, using -x parameter on bootprompt.

Remove any injectors you may have installed and remove all nvdia kexts and boot with -v -f

Have you tried waiting until the display sleeps (could take 20 min or so) and then hit a key or click mouse button? For many the proper desktop will appear then. If so, use the workaround here: http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/blue-screen-of-annoiance-t5025/#post41942 until you find a proper fix. Welcome to the world of OSX86... prepare to learn a whole lot. Not for the dabbler...

i had this happening to me also on Snow Leopard, i have a nvidia GTX 260 card, and found that when i turned my monitor off then on again, (straight away) i got my desktop back also the other trick i used was use the keyboard shortcut to log out (command+shift+q) waited a 1min for it log out and then i got a normal desktop. But then i found a fix for me, changed DVI ports on my video card, so i two DVI out and changed ports rebooted and away i went! no more problems. Hope this helps, it seems like a common problem lately.
