HOLYCOMPUTER! Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hey guys! I have a really bizarre situation. I installed iAtkos L2 on an MBR disk and am able to boot to it from the RBootLE boot loader. However when I booted for the first time, my machine said that to go through with the install I would have to plug in a mouse. So I came up with a fix for myself... I booted into SingleUser mode and copied from a usb a DSDT.aml along with com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist and com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist. Then I ran: launchctl load /S/L/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist in order to run passwd so I could change the password for the root user. I then touched /var/db/.AppleSetupDone to trick the machine into thinking the setup was done. Finally I was able to log in. But when I rebooted, it got stuck at "Waiting for DSMOS...". Just for the heck of it I tried booting into SingleUser mode and it still froze after entering "exit". I tried a lot of different boot flags and I finally figured out a trick that worked. I did launchctl load /S/L/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plist Can somebody please tell my why I can boot into my machine only when I type that into single user mode? I'm starting to think that I should have bought a cheap mouse just to get through the string... but that would be too reasonable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
