I cant get SL to boot unless i use the USB

[jasjeet]

I used the USB to install SL, i have a working install, perfect, Audio, LAN, and Graphics.

 

Now i want to use the actual drive to boot from (Internal HDD).

 

So i used the same method as i used to make the USB bootable, using chameleon files.

 

I boot from the drive, i was surprised it worked, but when i get to the desktop, in around 10 seconds i get a Kernal Panic, and i cant make out whats causing it, even in safe mode.

 

However booting from the USB works perfect.

 

I have copied the kexts from the Extra folder to the Extra folder on my SL partition, this stopped the APCI_SMC_Platform Plugin error.

 

But now KP at dekstop, unless i use the USB to boot.

 

What am i missing?

 

**EDIT**

Its fixed by using -cpus=1 command.

 

Will this hurt performance?

Try add the kexts and .plists from your usb into the EFI partition

howto - in Terminal:

>sudo -s

(enter password)

mkdir /Volumes/EFI

mount_hfs /dev/diskXs1 /Volumes/EFI

(/dev/diskXs1 depends on where the installation is, and what drive. for me, I only have one hard drive so it is disk0s1. a df can show you what it is if you are unsure)

Then you can go into finder and copy the files from your usb to EFI/Extra/Extensions

After you are done, go back into terminal:

 

umount /Volumes/EFI

killall Finder (otherwise it will mount every time you boot)
