maxlife Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi Guys, i'm a new user and I have the insanely idea to install snow leopard on my notebook. I have an acer extensa 5630G with the following spec: - intel core 2 due T6400 2GHz - 15,4" WXGA LCD - Ati Mobility Radeon HD 3470 128MB - 2GB RAM - 250GB HDD - Audio Realtek - Broadcom NeXtreme Gigabit Ethernet - Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN I tried to install the Hazard 10.6.1-10.6.2 but the installation stop on the following instruction: Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key> I have upgraded the bios of my notebook and i have setting up the AHCI. If someone have suggestion, I will appreciate. Thanks in advance. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxlife Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 I tried hazard distro 10.6.2 and 10.6.6i and iATKOS v2 S3. But with all installations stops at the same point: Waiting on <dict ID='0'> <key> IOProviderClass </ key> <string ID = '1 '> IOResources </ string> <key> IOResourceMatch </ key> <string ID='2'> boot-uuid- media </ string> </ dict> Looking on the internet I think I have understood that this message is normal but then the installation should continue detecting the boot device and should display a message like this: Got boot device = IOService: / @ MacRISC2PE/pci f4000000/AppleMacRiscPCI/ata- 6 @ D / AppleKauaiATA / ATADeviceNub @ 0/IOATABlockStorageDriver/IOATABlockStorageDevice / IOBlockStorageDriver/ST3320620A Media/IOApplePartitionScheme/Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 @ 10 that I do not see. I think that the disk drive of my notebook is not detected by the installation of Snow Leopard. My laptop has a single 250GB SATA drive which was initially assigned all to Windows XP. Now before tryng to install the SL I repartitioned with gparted leaving the initial part of the disk (100GB) to XP while the following 150GB free on which to install SL. I ask who can help if the problem is due to a wrong partition disk. Thank you. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxlife Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 I continue the update of the state of my installation hoping that someone can help me. Now i think to have solved the problem of the disk. I have specified in the boot the command -v -x -F rd=disk0s2 arch=i386. Now rhe distro 10.6.2 hazard see the disk. Probably specifing the disk and partition the installation go ahead. Now I have another problem. I have this errors: IOPCCardBridge:start failed USBF 0.918 Apple USB0HCI 0x3b75000::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded - sleep forced At this point the installation stop and don't go ahead. I hope that someone can help me to bypass this problem Thanks Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
