BlueAvenue Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Pion: Does EFI really have its own partition? I do not know anything about EFI. Also, what linux distro do you have installed? What is your present controling bootloader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanjack Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Alright, so I followed your directions and it got rid of my blinking cursor problem, but now I get a b0 error. I think this is because the boot0 in the file in that thread is for GUID and I installed with MBR. Can anyone show me where to get a MBR boot0 file? I've read the previous b0 error fixes that say to mark the partition as active, which I've done, and it doesn't help. PS: The OS starts up fine when the install DVD is in the drive... just need to get it working without DVD I have the same problem that you did and same question.

rizzopro Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi, I'm trying this on a Dell 1600s server with 2 Prescott Xeons. I'm trying all the DVD boot options (-legacy,cpus=1,-r,-x,-s etc) and I cant get past this point. Whats on the CPU scren reads: EFI Enhanced Bios Bootloader Build ToH Using SMBIOS Table found at 0x000faad0 Using HCP RSDP Revision 0 found at 0x000fdc40 at this point the system just hangs and I have to turn it off or do a hard reset to get it to boot again. Ive been reading thru the lists here and Ive tried so many different ways to boot up with the DVD and get the same results everytime where it hangs at the above message. Any clues or tips or maybe someone knows for sure that it wont work on this particular system Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xnonsuchx Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 @ Dune31, kaly: Why cant SSE2 users boot up the installation cd? We get restart loops after the Darwin bootloader and all the kexts loads. We cant get into the installer itself. Is it beacause of the kernel? How can we fix this? Look here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77858# Hope you can help us SSE2 users.. Have you tried booting it in Safe Mode (-x)? There could be a driver/kext incompatibility. When I was trying to get it to work w/ a Radeon HD2600XT video card, I had to install in Safe Mode AND delete the ATIRadeonX2000 kexts afterward to get it to boot. Did you try the -v option, or does it reboot before you can see what the last lines are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alucard_xs Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 HI dudes I tried installating Kalyway version on my new PC (dual core 2 + 8800GT) on a usb external HD, the installation worked great, but when rebooting, I saw the "apple and the loadin' circle" until a message appeared telling me to reboot my computer ... Can someone try like me on a USB ext drive ? What are the correct parameters to choose in the installation menu ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi89 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Does anyone knows if PS2 keyboards are working on this release?What changes where made to add ps2 support?Do you know if a PS2 keyboard works on your board? I havent tryed it yet... actualy I dont think that I have a ps2 keyboard around at the moment. Im pretty sure that it would work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yan.kun Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi! Currently I've big troubles getting Kalyway to work. First, my system specs: Computer Model: HP Pavilion a6220 CPU: 2x2Ghz Core2 Duo Mobo: Asus P5L LE (G945 Chipset with onboard VGA) Audio: Sigamtel HD Audio DVD und HD are SATA Intel Lan Controller Radeon HD3850 At first, if i boot without vanilla kernel, my PS2 Keyboard isn't detected. So I set SATA to ACHI mode and started the installation. I formated the HD in one big HFS+ partition (320 Gig) and installed kalyway with the requiered extensions. (ACPI fix, guid_efi etc.). At the end, the installer says, that the installer couldn't finish and after the next boot, after darwin booted from DVD, I get the com.apple.boot.plist error. Tried it now to install 3 times, everytime with the same error. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnjmarlboro Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Have you tried booting it in Safe Mode (-x)? There could be a driver/kext incompatibility.

Did you try the -v option, or does it reboot before you can see what the last lines are? Happy new year! Tried all known bootflags. Comp will reboot after loading kexts as shown.

Look here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77858# Hope you can help us SSE2 users.. I am using an sse2 cpu. I am sure that this release is compatible with sse2. i am having the same problem that you have with ToH release but kaly's release does not have that. it can be something in your BIOS. btw, I have a pentium m (see sig.) but About this Mac says that it is a 1.5 ghz intel core solo.. About this mac crashes after install and I used paulicat's applesmbios.kext.. it might be related to that. only problem now is making QE/CI work and get it recognized as AGP at the same time.

JonyBravo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Happy New Year - and a Success Story. I have successfully installed Kaly on my notebook (see signature for specs), single partition GUID. A minor note however, it did not properly boot the first time after install. First time it told me we were running backwards. Rebooted again using -v and it booted. I rebooted again without -v and it worked. Somehow it seems that it repaired itself. Not sure about that since I'm not an expert. I do get the "mouse tearing". I figure it has to do with the video driver (even though my 945GM was 950 compatible in Tiger). I had the same tearing in iATKOS. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Donw35 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 My first install on my HP had a PS2 keyboard pluged in and all installed and worked fine, since then I changed to a USB keybaord.

mr2andy Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Read the whole thread. this has been answered. You need a SATA DVD drive, or a USB drive. I realized that and was using the IDE to USB adapter with my DVD ROM. I still got the same error. What does it actually mean when it says "com.apple.plist not found" It didn't find my Leo DVD? Is that right? Is the SATA 500GB compatible? (Just need to make sure this is not a problem) Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
