Composition of the -x flag?

[RaveAngel]

Hi there,

I'm trying to fully achieve 10.7 on my Acer Aspire 5930G. Unfortunately only about 10 % of my attempts to start are resulting in the GUI, the rest of it become stuck - at random points. If it is reaching the GUI, it's running like a charm. :-/
However, the safe mode is reliably booting every time, so I'm thinking... perhaps I can "simulate" the -x flag with a number of other boot flags and play a bit with them until I isolate the flag which allows me to successfully boot every time?

Greetings
Mario

Thanks for the move to the 10.7 laptop section although I don't think my question is laptop specific.

-x mode is basically safe mode and not loaded more then the basic kernel extensions. So that might be a option while troubleshooting. I would recommend SRtools which is really good at installing kext and reverting them of that cause you kernel panic.
you can find that on link below :

-v verbose is good composition with the -x
