BrumBrum74 · September 7, 2009

open the info.plist

replace safe boot with root

Sorry for asking, but wich info.plist? Where is it located?

thats annoying if it is - if a real one from apple

try cleaning the dvd and let it run on the ebios error for a minute or two.

try cleaning the dvd and let it run on the ebios error for a minute or two.

still no joy :/ i'll try the dvd in one of the mac at work tomorrow to double check it.

dunno if this'll help ether but the machine im trying to install it on is a Compal HEL81

snifferpro · September 7, 2009

Trying EFI method.

Got to point where it says to run Cham 2.0 r640,

set to EFI HFS and installer hangs with "writing Package Receipt"

This was the same error I got before.

Can I reformat the hard drive, run the Chameleon installer, then restore

the DVD to the hard disk install partition where Cham is?

I reformatted Hard Drive, Ran Chameleon to Snow Installer partition, and then

copied dvd to snow installer partition.

Ok, the install went ok till the very end.

Got this screen.

restarted, booted from installer partition and selected my snow partition

and SL started up.

Funny thing though, I only see disk icons for my Leopard drive, I don't see icons for my

Snow drive.

I'll assume I have to download my Ralink drivers for wifi and install them.

Also, it did not find my internal ethernet ports. But they may be turned off in

bios I'll have to check.

I have to boot from the installer partition and then select SNOW to get to SL.

Would you suggest I reformat, install Chameleon to both partitions, restore the DVD

to the installer partition and redo the install so I can boot from the SNOW

partition?

At least it's bootable right now.

Thanks

Don't know why image isn't showing up, I sent it twice

did you replace the boot file?

I replaced the boot file in the installer partition.

I did not replace the boot file in my SL partition

noob766 · September 8, 2009

I replaced the boot file in the installer partition.

I did not replace the boot file in my SL partition

don't touch where the dvd is,

see the making changes to the EFI partition. thats where you replace the bootfile

Read the guide and then I guess it's inside the natit.kext. Thanks. Will try that.

Kext Editing

In order for kexts to be loaded by the bootloader, you need to make some changes to the info.plist of the kext, and it's plugins if it has any.

Right Click the kext

Select Show Package Contents.

Open the Contents Folder

Open the info.plist

add this code above the final </dict> in the plist

CODE

<key>OSBundleRequired</key>

BrumBrum74 · September 8, 2009

Thanks but still got the stuttering until I put laptop to sleep and wake it up again.

Have following kexts:

natit.kext

disabler.kext

AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

ApplePS2Controller

fakesmc.kext

NullICPUPowerManagement.kext

OpenHaltRestart.kext

Sleepenabler.kext

VoodooBattery.kext

VoodooHDA.kext

Sound is not working properly either. Makes crackling sound.

Are you saying the downloaded boot file has to be placed in the hidden

EFI on my Snow Leopard Drive?

I didn't see that in the guide .

@Noob766,

Any ideas about these entries in the system.log?

1)

com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[105](com.appple.report.crash) Falling back to Mach exception handler. Could not find: com.apple.ReportCrash.Self

2)

InternalModemSupport.kext does not declare a kernel dependency; using com.apple.kernel.6.0.

And in Kernel.log

1)

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::Start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out

2)

#2 above - InternalModelSupport also shows up in the kernel.log

Any Ideas? Anybody?

noob766, first thanks for your good support here.

I get KP (IOStorageFamily + fsck_hfs), as soon as SL tries on the HD to write.

I use the USB method, here the kext to it.

1) Delete your Cache Folders/Report Logs

2) Not an issue, Apple didn't specify which kernel in the info.plist

3)This is Caused when you install the battery.pkg because after 6 minutes or so you will get a Kernel panic without it timing out. (It's a good thing)

If the IONetworkingFamily.kext is from leopard it is probably causing the Kernel Panic.

repair permissions

look into /System/Library/LaunchAgents

and see if you have these two files

com.apple.ReportCrash.plist

com.apple.ReportCrash.Self.plist

try cleaning the dvd and let it run on the ebios error for a minute or two.

noob, just to let you know - the Inspiron6400.iso has finaly worked for me

i re-added this AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext http://netkas.org/?p=125

and GMA950 kext from here http://cid-8b65993ef55cf01....=details

don't know if they were any different from what was already there but its now currently installing

also: Thanks for all your help so far

-ash

edit: i still saw ebios errors

edit2: install failed

edit3: even though i was told install fail.. i thought i may as well see what happen when i booted the failed install.. anyway booted ok and now i'm running software update though airport card. no sound at the moment and the display is wrong res but i see these as small details. main thing is Compal EL81 = success

edit4:@noob766 will i be able to get the stuff off the insperon boot disk and effectivly put it all into a hidden efi partition and get the same results as i do from booting off the disk?

just to let you know that the gma950 works with stock kexts after installation. if you follow noob's guide by the letter you will get SL installed fine. After that you can remove the framebuffer and IOGraphics.kext from the EFI partition and use the stock kexts. You need to disable autologin and install screen sleeper solution. You need the gma950 EFI string in c.a.boot.plist for it to work and boot with arch=i386 at chameleon prompt for force 32bit.

Full QE and CI

Well you can install retail SL to an USB harddrive using one of these 132 bootloader discs around. How to boot without the disc well that´s another story, beats me been trying for a week now.

...

and yes

insert this
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(X,Y)</string>
X is the drive, Y is the partition

run the following in terminal to find out.
diskutil list

For the sake of clarity, Y partition should be the main partition and not the EFI partition right?

Also, my com.apple.Boot.plist located in the Extra folder for .Cameleon only has this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

So where should I put the new string? I haven't made this kind of change before.
