newbmac Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Installing to a USB flashdrive on a Pentium D. Created MBR partition on key and only checked EDI MBR connection in the custom settings, everything else unchecked. Install works fine. I even run a Disk Validation on the USB key after installer finishes (but before restart) and the USB drive reports no errors. When computer restarts I get the following error when try to start off USB key: Jnl: unknown-dev: open: journal magic is bad Then I just tried using the other partition type (GUI?) and got the install to complete fine. This time I ran Disk Util to repair permissions and the drive no problem. Restarted and same error again. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinneh Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Help! I have managed to install Kalyway no problem, set my brand new seagate SATAII drive to one partition, MBR and formatted it. I have XP and Kubuntu on another drive with the Grub loader. Once I'd finished the install I manually added OSX to the OS list in grub. So far so good. When I select OSX It starts Darwin, I select boot and it restarts! This is driving me nuts, I've trawled this thread looking for answers (and it seems like I'm not alone with this problem) and I'm hoping some kind soul can help me out. My system is: Dell Precision workstation 390 SSE3 Chip - P4 3Ghz (hyperthreading) Motherboard - Dell (Intel975X chipset) Graphics - NVIDIA FX550 128MB Audio - Onboard (Sigmatel HD I think) Memory 2GB HD - Seagate SATAII 500GB Thanks to everyone on here, and especially to Kalyway for doing this! UPDATE! Sorry, sorry, my bad. I found the answer to my problems. Vanilla kernel is only good if you have a dual core and my P4 is single core. Reinstalled and deselected Vanilla and it WORKED A TREAT! no sound as yet but it booted up no problems, shiny new mac on my dirty black dell! now where are my apple stickers... good luck to everyone, and thanks to all the members here, you are all stars!

newbmac Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Just wanted to report back that I believe on USB flash drives (mine is a SD card in an USB adaptor) you have to format using HFS WITHOUT journaling. This fixed my problem. OSx86 just started up fine now from my USB flash drive! These forums need to add a mechanism so people can report at the top of the thread this sort of info so people don't have to weed through 90+ pages. Fatwallet forums have this ability. The second post can be edited by anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iGh0st Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 So can this install fine on an EVGA 680i SLT with a Intel q6600 with a sata dvd drive and an ide hard drive? If I right remember, System good install when HDD & DVD-Drive are IDE or SATA together, when HDD or DVD-Drive have some other type, you can find some problems, when try Install it`s Release.

newbmac Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Sorry, but I don`t understand your questions, you wont to update MacOS with internet?? He is asking if he can run the Apple Software Update. I believe the answer is yes if you are using the Vanilla Kernel. Not sure on whether modified kernels can.

Macpaq Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 He is asking if he can run the Apple Software Update. I believe the answer is yes if you are using the Vanilla Kernel. Not sure on whether modified kernels can. I would install Kalyway or whatever distro you are using on a seperate drive to test out the Apple update first.

newbmac Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Ok now finally installed correctly on mbr, but system starts darwin boot loader and keeps on rebooting any idea Sounds like you are starting to learn how to do it .... I read through about 40 pages here to learn all this.. Installer Setup Advice First, you have a Core chip so do NOT check the SSE2 in the installer. Your chip is SSE3 Second, you have a Core chip so you need both the vanilla kernel stuff so check both boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRAYZIE Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Please, someone help me out.

Pentium D (Dual Core) 3.0ghz processer 256mb nvidia 7900 gs video card 2 gigs of ram I can't get it working again. I've messed with my BIOS and the formatting and kernels and all that jazz since 3am last night. I haven't slept. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
