GnatGoSplat Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Jetway J9F2-KHDE Motherboard Intel Core Solo CPU 956GM/GMA950 chipset 2GB of RAM Maxtor 200GB SATA HDD I started out with Kalyway 10.5.1, then updated to 10.5.3, 10.5.4, and 10.5.5 using these instructions: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=107340 Never had a problem. I did have to replace a few kexts to get everything working 100%, but it always boot fine with stock kexts. Using the same instructions that worked several times in the past, I went from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6. The install finished properly, I verified AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext did not exist in the Extensions folder. However, now my Hackintosh won't boot. The graphical boot screen shows the Apple logo and spinning thing underneath forever and never boots to the logon screen. The diagnostic screen goes to "Got boot device" and a bunch of other info about my hard drive that looks correct. The very last line I ever see is "BSD root: disk0s1, major 14, minor 1". Nothing happens after that. I've let it sit 30-minutes, it's NOT just a really slow boot. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theta Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Sorry, no ideas but you're not alone. Never had a problem with Vanilla running on my setup and I've been doing the Hackintosh thing since the Intel-betas of OSX. I can say that my system ran the stock retail 10.5 flawlessly with the only thing I needed to replace being the dsmos.kext and the AppleIntelCPUPower... Never needed to install any other drivers outside of audio (chipset, ethernet, usb, firewire, were always detected and made usable by the retail DVD). When I would upgrade to the 10.5.1-5 I would just have to remove the new Power Manager that was installed and the upgrade would work. Not so with 10.5.6. I get the dreaded "Waiting for root device" even when I copy over an old chipset driver from a previous version of use an ICH chipset driver from one of the new all-in-one releases (XXX, iPC 10.5.6). Can't seem to get around it. PC_EFI9 always hangs on me as well. EFI8 worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Unfortunately, I don't think that's my problem. I did change Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext to dsmos.kext in the script and copied that over to my Extensions folder before rebooting. I never even get past the "BSD root" stuff, it doesn't get to Jettisoning kernel linker or any of that. I've been really reluctant to reinstall from scratch, but I might have to soon.
