SimonSaysBleed Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 So my situation is as follows. I have a MBP running Snow Leopard (10.6.6) and Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I use rEFIt as my boot manager and it has worked flawlessly until now. A few days ago I shut down my computer from the windows side and I had my external hard drive connected. I don’t think I did the safely eject hardware routine and just shut it off instead. When I went to boot into the Mac side from rEFIt I got the following screen: rEFIt – Booting OS Starting boot.efi efiboot loaded from device boot file path: \System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi .Loading kernel cache file ‘System\Library\Caches\com.apple.kext.caches\Startup\kernelcachei386.4C132DCE’ Couldn’t get file info. Loading ‘mach kernel’… …Couldn’t get file info. Error loading kernel ‘mach-kernel’ (0xe) Error: Aborted returned from boot.efi From there I can press any key to return to the rEFIt boot selection screen. At first I wasn’t even able to boot into the windows side unless I had my external hard drive connected. This brings up my next problem. I have a partition on my external hard drive that contains Snow Leopard that I been able to boot into in the past but it is no longer recognized by rEFIt or by Apple’s bootloader (when I hold down option at startup). Instead, rEFIt thinks it is a Windows install. Also, I do not have the Snow Leopard disc. What can/should I do? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
