Panagiotis Vrs Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 My hackintos worked just fine for 4 months until 2 days ago. I tried to do a migration with my macbook pro with migration assistant but the procedure have been interrupted when my main pc suddenly restart due to power failure. After that the pc constantly restarts. I've tried many boot flags such as -x, -f, -v, cpus=, busratio= etc. I've manage to get it worked by either set my cpus=1-2 or set my busratio=9 (my cpu's ratio Q6600 cpu). My problem is that even if that i've changed the busratio to chameleon.boot.plist my pc can't boot and gets to a infinite loop unless if i boot it with cd in the rom press F8 and then select my hdd. My specs cpu= Q6600 Motherboard= ASRock G41M-GS3 graphics = GeForce 9500 GT 1024 MB 1 hdd WDC 500GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 If you can boot with your boot CD but not from HDD then reinstall Chameleon to your HDD. Power outage can cause file corruption, that's probably what happened to you. Check your Chameleon configuration settings and whatever else you have in /Extra.

Panagiotis Vrs Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 No my problem is that i can boot from the CD menu. Let me explain it further. If i boot my pc then when it comes to load the mac before the white screen, it reboots. If i boot and then select the hackintos cd when it comes to select if you wanna load cd or hdd select the hdd i can boot successfully into the system. It's like it can read my boot.plist P.S: my boot.plist is configured to set the busratio=9 on the boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Kid Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Since you can boot from the cd then you must have corrupted the chameleon boot loader on the hdd. the fact that the boot is successful using the temporary chameleon boot loader from the cd just means that the osx installed on the hdd still works. Something has to tell the computer what to do once it is turned on and a corrupt boot loader won't tell it much. Loading a boot loader from a disk or thumb drive does not fix the broken boot loader on the hdd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlf Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If i boot my pc then when it comes to load the mac before the white screen, it reboots. If you boot your PC and enter the boot flag -v what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
