Hello everyone, there is a few problems that i wanted to ask about

 

Retail 1.6.3

 

Hardware:

Nvidia 8600 gts

Motherboard GA-M61PME-S2P ( nForce 430 )

Athlon X2 5000+

SATA HDD Seagate

IDE DVD Asus

 

The problems is

With the Disk Way

Without flags Still waiting.......

With -x flag

ACPI Table not found : DSDT.aml

No DSDT found, using 0 as uid value.

 

In both cases BOIS killed

 

With Flash drive Way

Getting to the moment when boot logo changes to the install menu, the cursor appears, grey background and

nothing else is happenning. The cursor is still alive and can be moved, but nothing else is showing up.......

 

And if I remember correctly, BIOS killed......

 

 

Is there any solutions?

Also, could you explain what the following means?

 

*after Setup boot loader put your boot.plist that contian flag busratio=16 on extra it is very important to next step smile.gif

 

Edit:

 

I have done all of the steps in the instructions, but when I reboot and hover over my mac partition in chameleon, use -v and press enter, the screen just goes black like there's no kernel loading.

 

Do you know why?

Right, I'm in OS X with 10.6.4 installed. The only way I can get it to boot is with "legacy_kernel". Why is that and what does it mean?

you need to add kernel name on boot.plist

 

Ok, thanks. Could you also please confirm these steps:

 

*after Setup boot loader put your boot.plist that contian flag busratio=16 on extra it is very important to next step smile.gif

*After thus setup legacy kernel it will add kernel name to boot.plist we added before and patch CPUID wink_anim.gif

 

Because I can't understand it. What does 'on extra' mean?

 

Thanks for all your help so far by the way :(

Hey,

 

First time posting but I have been following this thread! I have an Hp p6404 here are a few specs:

 

Motherboard: Pegatron m2n4-la Violet 6

 

Phenom ii X4 920, 8gb ddr3

 

So... I installed and everything went fairly well except for the sound. Anyways, I followed the instructions but I think I am having trouble installing the bootloader because when I get to the part of finally restarting after installing the legacy_kernel, I get a kernel panic and I have to reinstall the whole the thing. Should I follow your instructions on "if you are having trouble installing the bootloader"? Or is it a kernel issue?

 

Sry I am a total noob ;} I have been learning, but its been about a month and im starting to want to give up!

ok i am stuck again...

i did a fresh install

 

updated to 10.6.4

installed chameleon

 

she boots up fine with your boot disk (boot 0.5)

single sata 1tb installed on onboard sata port 1

 

if i dont use your cd i get stuck on a gray screen with the apple logo.

i have tried booting with

-x

-v

-v -x -f

-s

 

 

-s and -v gets me to a black screen and its like the system is haulted or something. its still on though.

 

in my /Extra are the following

com.apple.boot.plist

Extensions folder

Etensions.mkext

 

 

the com.apple.boot.plist contains this

 

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//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>-force64</string>

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Rescan</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>Instant Menu</key>

<string>Yes</string>

</dict>

</plist>

 

 

 

in the /Extra/Extensions are the following

FakeSMC.kext

 

 

i am thinking its a chameleon thing (duh right...) On my previous install i thought i had a Chameleon icon in my system preferences, but i dont see one right now. granted i think there is a newer build than the one i used this time. i was just trying to follow the guide closer this time around.

 

when i boot with -v it flashes so fast i cant even pause the screen to take a pic. i will keep trying.

 

AMD Phentom 955 64x4

Asus Crossfire III with 790FX/SB750

8GB DDR3

Nvidia 295GTX

Nvidia 9800GT

(5) WD 300GB Velociraptor HDDs

(1) WD 1TB HDD

Creative Supreme FX-Fi PCIe SoundCard

HP DVD1170 Sata Rom

 

 

 

 

-------EDIT------

Got her going. Had to reinstall the mach Kernel package.

now on to the kext installs.

extra folder

 

 

 

 

what dont understood your problem

 

 

sry a little wordy. lol :unsure:

 

Used method #1:

 

*I have to install sl with I believe bootcd0.2. It works with just -v graphicsenabler=yes

 

Everything seems to work (lan, wireless adapter, even got the nvidia gt 240 to work one time, 1600x900 resolution, all cores and ram)

 

None of the other boot cd's seem to work, is this how it is done? Am I suppose to find a boot cd that works and just stick with it, or am I doing sumthin wrong?

 

*I follow the steps, download the update install the bootloader and kernel...

 

*but when I restart without the cd, it goes to the bootloader, I choose mac with flag -v, and I get a kernel panic and the computer does a restart loop. I am then forced to have to reinstall sl.

 

 

I think it is the legacy_kernel. Or I didn't install the bootloader correctly because after installing chameleon I look in the extra folder on the root and there are no .kexts there

 

but I don't know?

 

 

Expirementation:

 

I have tried booting with all of the other bootloaders. I tried using empire efi + retail and it does the same thing. I have used all the other flag combinations I know -x ... and others

 

 

 

PS: Your the man and I really think you should setup a paypal donation bar for all your effort! Ill be the first to send. :)

what is your hardware spesfication

 

@ BoostedH23a1

 

you get it to work before why all of that :(

 

 

 

Where is the boot.plist that I need to put in extra?

 

Also, where do I get FakeSMC from? I can't find it anywhere.

 

 

you can find fakesmc on tools

 

on for bootplist

 

use chamelon pkg and select chameleon perf and form it edit boot.plist

 

please do effort on searching

 

this questions is so silly -_-

I am doing what I can with what I can understand. FakeSMC on tools? I got FakeSMC2.5 from Netkas. If that's right. And i'm using the boot.plist in Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. Is this correct?

that is good :D

 

When I install legacy_kernel-10.4.0.pkg the installation fails. Also, in my /Extra folder, I have mach_kernel, extensions.mkext, com.apple.Boot.plist and then in the extensions folder, I have AppleATiATA.kext and FakeSMC.kext. Is this correct?

 

I Installed FakeSMC.kext manually, as kexthelper wouldn't work, and now I get stuck on the following on boot:

Been trying to get it to boot for days, i'm trying method #2.

 

chameleon loads but during the boot process it gets stuck at something about a kernel dependency at com.apple.drivers.AppleOnboardPCATA and it just sits there.

 

AMD Phenom II X4

 

Asus M4A785TD-V EVO

 

ATI Radeon HD 5770

Got it working. Took a picture of it in all it's glory. Thanks for all your help. I would have been really lost without it.

 

 

EDIT:

 

It looks nice, but almost all apps crash on launch, and I can't install anything. The installer just jumps up and down on the dock. Any idea?

This is so silly! I've decided to do a reinstall, and try to see where if the problem still exists at each stage. So far, I have used 0.5 boot DVD, loaded that, swapped it for my Retail DVD, installed, booted, and I can't launch iTunes/KextHelper etc.. I've been able to launch them at this stage before. Do you have any ideas?
