What is exactly your motherboard model number? Is it Asus P5GC? What's the model, and we'll start from there.

do i should select graphics update or not?

lost my kaliway install and the DVD for reinstall, so i installed 10.5.5 (iatkos) with the same options as before but without any graphics options, like before the system hangs, so with "-x" flag at boot created my account and installed gma950a.pkg from iatkos ISO and reboot. Again the same the system hangs telling something like

can't find any matching display family

so tried safe boot and logged in and now writing this.
Now i got 1208x1024 resolution (i setted at Display Prefpane) without load 950GMA kext at boot. this is what say "System Profiler" app in Graphics/Displays tab

I don't think "identical" PC is the right way to put it because there could be some minor differences unless you ordered both at the exact same time to the exact same specs. For example, I've got a Dell Inspiron 531. but that was back when they were using AMD CPUs and some cheaper motherboard called the R201. They also sold Intel variants of the same model number (the Dell Inspiron 531). So we definitely need exact specs (or at least an exact model number of your motherboard so we can be sure we are giving you sound advice and not run-around answers that should work on a generic level. Please post anything you can (even if this means opening up the case to look at the motherboard). Thanks.

I'll try and help with the info you've given but then I'll have some more questions for you. I'll post in a few minutes after I do some more research for your specs.

after this it hangs

any help, thanks in advance

So in your first post and now your last post, you are saying the system thinks it has a GMA950 GPU in it... does it really? or is the option you selected above accurate?

950 and X3100 are not the same so I'm wondering why you were trying to do this.

moving on... at least you can boot (even if it is only safe mode).

Here's what I want you to do. You're going to delete the video kexts so the system uses a generic driver. Then we will adjust it as necessary later.

I know you didn't install any video drivers/kexts/EFI strings in this latest install but the system still installs its generic variants of them.

boot with -s

Code:

/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
rm -Rf GeForce*
rm -Rf NVDA*
rm -Rf ATI*
rm -Rf NVinject*
rm -Rf AppleIntelGMA*
cd ..
rm -Rf Extensions.mkext
reboot

now it should boot normally (not in safe mode) but without proper graphics, this is an issue we will fix shortly. Let me know how it is coming along.

i followed wht u said and when rebooted, apple keep spinning until i got the grey box telling me i have to reboot, the i booted with -v and got this

Quote:

panic (cpu 0 caller 0x0010... ) kernel trap at 0x00... type 14=page ...

so when i tell at boot "cpus=1" the it hangs but no show that last line
. so i tried with "-x" and still boot but....

like something curious i notice that in some point it says:

Quote:

localhost: kextd: (/mach_kernel) doesnot match running kernel

what's next??

answering what you said i check X3100 cause i don't know really well, but if those are drivers i thought then it could not harm anything,
and the other issue, yeah that my board, cause the pc it's identical, we didn't ordered at the same time cause that's not my situation but yeah i'm sure it the same, exactly the same...

more info: BIOSagent plus says this:
