Got all the USB ports working in USB2.0 mode on my P5B by ditching AppleUSBEHI and switching to GenericUSBEHCI. See my post here.

Another good side effect is that the reboot/shutdown problem seems to have gone away. YAY!

Hey Guys, I was really hoping that someone could help me out with this. I followed all the steps and it all worked fine during install, however when i tried to boot it after install it gets stuck on the white screen with the grey apple logo and the lil clock thing which spins round freezes up. I did the diagnostics boot and have found that it gets stuck when starting mDNSResponder. Any help would be hugely appreciated because I have been trying to get this working for so long.

Here are my system specs:

BIOS: BIOS Date: 10/20/06 11:52:35 Ver: 08.00.12

Processor: Intel® Core2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz

Memory: 3006MB RAM

Card name: Radeon X1650 Series

Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc.

Chip type: ATI Radeon Graphics Processor (0x71C6)

Thanks in advance!!!

James

Hi!

everything works fine untill the point where i type:

dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/disk0 bs=400 count=1

 

it says /dev/disk0: Resource busy... and if i quit Terminal, the drive i formated for leopard is away.

maybe because it's unmounted...? do i have to mount it again? why ist busy?

(sorry i'm still a noob i think)

 

any help would be appriciated

thanks

Getting the same problem here, I have tried it a couple of times and always get that message. And I am sure that the drive is unmounted and that I have the correct drive BSD ID.

 

EDIT: Fixed it, I had two partitions on the install drive, so once I unmounted the other partition it worked fine. I am posting from my osx86 install now!

after you do

 

dd if=./guid/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1

 

mount the disk, then unmount it, and try

 

dd if=./guid/boot0 of=/dev/diskX bs=400 count=1

 

it worked for me
