New modified BOOT-132 allows you to boot retail DVDs

[HengenJL]

ok I'm hoping someone here can be of help to me. I just recently finished building my new Core i7 desktop. I downloaded the Boot-132 "basic" iso image, the one for "noobs". burnt the iso and it starts fine. I start inputting numbers (80,81,82) to see if my hard drives are recognized. My two SATA drives are not recognized yet my old IDE hard (82) is recognized. I have tried booting from my old WinXP Pro cd, but it just wont load, the only reason I am attempting to boot from the XP Pro disc is to try and format the SATA drives but the XP Pro disc pops up with an error saying it cannot load.

 

UPDATE: Download the Ultimate Boot CD that I found from another thread on the forums. Formatted one of the SATA hard drives, but when I go to run the Leo Retail Disc I get "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"

 

UPDATE #2: swap out the Boot-132 disc when it gets to the "Press Enter to start up Darwin/x06". but when I go to run the Leo Retail Disc I get "No OS Found Insert OS setup dosk, then press any key"

 

I honestly cant figure this one out and its pissing me off. I'd rather not have to run WinXP on this machine, but it sure as hell looks like I might have to.

 

if anyone could give me some recommendations I'd appreciate it!!

The first thing you need to do is make sure you are entering the correct data at each step along the way when you try to boot the retail install dvd. So far, based on what you have entered, I don't think you are.

 

If you haven't done so yet, reread the posts in this and related boot-132 threads. I am sure there are som that address the correct sequence of actions and entries to get the install dvd to boot. I know they must be there, because I made several of them.

Is anybody able to edit these files so that we're able to use a patched dsdt? I saw there is one for EFIstrings and such, but i found nothing for dsdt

 

I think it would be great and i really wanna have it^^

 

Hope someone can,

Hey all,

 

Is there any way to install from the retail disc in MBR format...I have a current windows installation on this computer and I am wishing to do a retail install but I want to keep my hard drive formatted into MBR

 

MGJulius

yes, there is without modifying a retail disk.

1. install mac os x from your retail dvd to an external or another internal drive that you format with guid.

2. boot from the retail disk again, open disk utility and prepare your primary mbr harddisk with a hfs+ partition for osx. again with the disk utility copy the contents of the external drives guid hfs+ partition to your mbr hfs+ partition...

worked fine for me

Hey, I dowloaded this ISO, and ran the DVD i pit it on through start-up.

I got to the part where you have to enter "ef" or whatever after I put in my retail Mac OS X 10.5.4 disk(brand new).

It started to load, but I got "EBIOS ERROR:Controller( or whatever it was.) I got that 4 times, the identical thing four times. same numbers and everything.

 

The disk kept reading like it was installing the Mac OS, but then it said "Errors where found during start-up." and under that it said "Pausing 5 seconds....." and then it went to just the plain old white screen with the apple emblem.

 

and then it just sits there. no lights flashing on the computer or nothing.

 

What am I supposed to do?

Hey

 

I'm intrigued as to why you need dsdt to install..?

No for install reasons it would be good to have as a backup so we could boot into the os via Boot 132 CD to change any damaged files that is stopping the install from starting also for people who use the Usb Boot 132 so they can use 10.5.6.

 

I'm Booting from my EFI partition thanks to your guide Munky using v6.1 and Patched DSDT.aml. looking forward to the new release from chameleon if its as good if you say it is then can't wait.

I don't need it to install, just after that^^ I've got to boot with cpus=1 flag, but i have one of intels new centrino 2 CPUs which should be no problem running in my Notebook, i hoped to fix that using a patched dsdt.

Another thing is that my Hackintosh turns off AHCI during bootup and since i can't find anybody who has an idea WHY, hoped it was something wrong with the dsdt as well^^

 

Hardware:

GF9600M GT, running smooth using NVDarwin,

Intel P8400 2,26ghz 1066FSB

4gb DDR3 Ram, currently only as DDR2 667, hoping for some kexts from the new Macbook Pros, still searching

PM45 and ICH9-M

 

I thought about using your EFI-boot, but i couldn't find infos whether that would work dualbooting my Vista on the same GPT-Drive, if you can answer me this with "yes" i won't need a patched BootUSBStick^^

update- My solution was setting up my bios to default, and burning the iso with a different burning program.

I was using poweriso which I believe to be the culprit, Ive been using ultraiso since then.

Following Munky's directions, Doesn't work for extensions ...

I have no trouble booting from the 1-2-3 disk nor installing retail version. I have no problem booting from the install after following the directions. But no extensions load.

I think it maybe because I'm putting the wrong thing in the extension folder? Maybe? Can someone write a how-to on what exactly needs to be loaded into the extensions folder? I have the zipped file of the video. I am attaching it. Can someone look at it and tell what EXACTLY needs to be put into the extensions folder?

 

I have tried vanilla kernel (works fine but restart doesn't work) and the Voodo kernel)

My system is listed in my sig ...

 

thanks

Hi Experts! What is the benefits of installing Retail, besides the easy updates? Will I have esasier life with drivers?

 

Thank you for your contributions in advance!

Hey Charlie... man it doesn't load because it has the wrong permissions... the best way to check if the permissions are good is to create an mkext... if the permissions are wrong it won't create it!

 

1) chmod -R 755 /Folder with extensions/

 

2) chown -R root:wheel /Folder with extensions/

 

3) kextcache -m Extensions.mkext /Folder with extensions/

 

Try those commands or a variation of those... and it will load... Garanted! Don't worry about the warnings after kextcache...

 

Good luck!

I have an IBM/Lenevo X60. Everyone says this is the closest thing to a MacBook as you can get. I have tried installing with this method and I always get an ACPI error from the CD no matter which version I use. After switching to the retail DVD, it hangs at the blue screen with a few hard drive activity lights until it just sits. Has anyone had the fulfillment of installing to this same laptop? If so, can you provide and .iso image that you've used successfully to make the installation happen? I would appreciate all feedback. I've installed on a desktop previously with no problems. I just want to make the laptop function/install correctly.

 

Thanks!

Hello i have burned GENERIC.ISO on my dvd and when i'm trying to boot i get

 

SIOLINUX 3.63 2008-04-10 isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...

 

Boot failed: press a key to retry

 

Can somebody help me with this problem

 

PLEASE???

re-download iso and reburn CD.

[exy]

That's the problem that I'm having with my Thinkpad T-60. I've managed to install fine on a HP/Compaq desktop, but the laptop gives that error and it's the same disc that I used prior.

 

I copied retail dvd image on 8gb flash drive using superduper to install on T60.

T60 reports lash drive as first hdd, so when you boot with BOOT-132 CD, instead of replacing dvd just specify "80" at boot prompt.

[exy]

used 2 dvds from the bay both does not work (converted dmg to iso under mac and burned on windows with alcohol 120% to a dvd+r dl disc) So would be nice if someone knows a good version of that

 

get 8gb flash drive and use superduper to copy image.

 

during boot-123, instead of replacing cd, specify 80 or 81 to point to flash drive for install source media.

Hi Boot-132 developers/experts

 

I have burned the generic.iso disk image onto a cd and booted it. Then I press enter, switch the cd with the leopard install disk and press enter again. It says loading darwin/x86, then it shows the Apple in the middle of a gray screen. I left it for an hour and it did not change. Other users have said that they got stuck with a spinning beachball but I do not even get this far.

 

Install Disk: Mac OS X Leopard Install DVD Version 10.5 2Z691-6037-A

Computer: Dell Dimension 8100

 

I have read the first few pages of comment but I can not figure it out. Thanks in advance.

I put the DFE loader on a bootable USB Flashpen along with other Grub entries. When i boot from the flashpen and select the "OSX DVD Loader" entry, the Darwin Booter is loaded.

I put the OSX DVD in the Drive and now im stuck. Which hexadecimal code does my SATA DVD have? I tried nearly everything, but Darwin won't boot from my Leopard DVD. How can i find out the code?

 

 

Example:

 

title Windows

rootnoverify (hd1,1)

chainloader +1

savedefault --wait=2

 

title OSX DVD Loader

kernel /boot/boot

modulenounzip /boot/initrd.img

setting-up bootloader in a usb-flashdrive won't detect your optical drive. thus, u can't install using ur retail leopard dvd installer. what u can do is restore your leopard dvd installer into an 8-gb hdd-partition or usb-flashdrive.

Hello,

 

has anybody been able to install OSX via one of the Boot CD images on a Gigabyte P35 DS3?

Can you tell me how? I've got it installed but after the first reboot it won't start. I have the latest F12 BIOS and AHCI is also enabled. I am using a SATA HDD and DVD Writer and an E4300 Intel Processor.

[discmeister]

Hi Valmar,

 

I have a GA-P35-DS3P, and I've been able to get OS X installed using MACinized's excellent guide here. I used the DS3L ISO (available from one of the Boot-132 resources threads) and that was enough for me to install using Leopard retail DVD. I've since used MACinized's route for creating a partition on the hard disk and installing a bootloader there so it's all automatic. I'm now playing around with kexts to see if I can get graphics and sound working (my gfx card is 8800GT - fighting with NVinject and NVkush at the moment to get all 512Mb recognised).

 

Anyway, study MACinized's excellent guide and pinch the DS3L ISO; those are good places to start.

I need some help please

 

I downloaded Generic.iso and have my mac OSX Leopard 10.5.4 disc (burned to DVD+r DL) but i cant get it to boot. It freezes at Loading HFS+ Files: [/system/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext/Contents/Info.plist] from 422f700.

 

It just stays there and eventually gives a timeout error and something about 64 blocks. Could it be a bad burn? I burned at 2.5x from Disk Utility
