mac_cute Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi Xxp/Tux, I did and it works perfectly. The only thing that I didn't understand why I do need that command cause I partitioned HD with MBR not GUID scheme. when I reboot, b0 error appeared. I left DVD and reboot without touching anything, it boot to apple screen for a while. Then the "No Entry" sign appears on the top of the apple picture. I don't know what does it mean? Please help me again. lol..."NO Entry" sign?.That is "Waiting for root device"...Check my sign for a detailed guide to solve this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noom Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yes, when I type -v, it shown the message "Still waiting for root device". I'll try to figure it out from the bottom links you gave. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixpower Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I tried too boot this dvd, it loads and then it restarts the PC. I tried booting with -v -x doesn't help. Anyone knows what the problem could be ? CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+ Motherboard: Asus K8N Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Reilly Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I found a conflict between my Zephyroth AMD 10.5.2 install and the AppleSMBIOS.kext fix for the crashing "About this Mac" option. Before I patched the AppleSMBIOS.kext, all my USB devices are running fine, after the patch, the USB devices doesn't work anymore. My iPod wouldn't mount etc. I know there's a fix for the USB devices, but as much as it works, there's still the issue of USB drives not getting mounted automatically. Is there a better fix for the 'About this Mac' crash and still retain USB device function, or as of now someone like me has to choose between having USB devices work or having "About this Mac" work? I hope I made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Karamello Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yes, when I type -v, it shown the message "Still waiting for root device". I'll try to figure it out from the bottom links you gave. Thanks. Hi Noom. I had the same problem as i tried to install Zephyroth with mbr, but it works well with guid (for me). After guid installation, you will see the "b0 error" or "blinking cursor" if you boot without DVD in drive. The Howto for this problem can be found somewhere here.

ludacrisvp Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 What updates to software are safe to use? I would like to update iTunes because it seems to not be working correctly.

GingerTea Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 The thread is rarely used. Thanks for closing the old one! No one finds the proper topic on InsanelyMac now. You will have to use http://osx.kbot.de for support, because everyone dropped the Thread. All the Gurus like Zephyroth, Roisoft, Eddie11c and all of the other Supportes are there to help regularly though, so don't worry Kind Regards, Putta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you update your application software, you need to run Marvin's immediately. You don't want to do system software (OS) updates - not until they're patched by someone and released. I haven't had any problems updating iTunes, QT, Garageband , & etc. - as long as I use Marvin's as soon as they're updated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Need a little help here. Installed great, made it to the Welcome screen Enter State works, Enter key board works, "Do not Transfer my information now" loops back to Welcome Enter state ???? Have tried several variations of install that only lead me to the loop out. No panic on boot Thanks in advance for any help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I found the solution, this may help others with the same problem: CODEHow to: Install Error loop at account creation Issue: Upon install, the process hangs in an infinite (?) loop circling between chosing language and creating / transferring an user acount ("Do you already own a mac?"). According to the forum, the problem seems to be connected to problems concerning the network card. Solution 1: Importing an account from an existing (Tiger) installation. Solution 2: Booting with the flag "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32". The resulting low screen-resolution prevents the setup screen, thus skipping the "loop". As one is not able to create a new username, only the default "admin" is created. This can be changed later on. Solution 3: Some people reported success with disabling the network card in the bios or disconnecting the cable. Solution 4: Boot using "-s" flag then type -> /sbin/mount -uw / passwd root <- Type any password you want touch /var/db/.AppleSetupDone reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurabas Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hi, Anybody having slow boot problem? I have 1 IDE dvdrw + 1 IDE HDD 80GB .. Everytime I boot, it takes me 2 minutes to reach the desktop. When I'm in the Desktop .. everything is ok and fast. Its just the boot process that is soooo slow .. are there any tweaks you can suggest? Like Remove unused kext? stuff like that. Is this because I'm using both IDE devices? Specs: AMD64 3000+ MSI K9N Neo rev 1.0 2 x 512mb Apacer Memory 667 Toshiba IDE DVDRW Maxtor IDE 80gb Palit Daytona 7300LE 128mb etc etc Thank you!

TrYp MyNe Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 all you people say that you have to use the Marvin's AMD Utility. i have it installed, but have not once ran it, and all the iLife and iTunes updates work seamlessly, no crash or anything at all!!!! and i haven't patched them kinda weird eh? but i haven't patched them and they work, they are the latest. and im on AMD too so yea. but this release is the bomb it runs awsomely and ZEPH IS THE MAN XD lol. great iso. only concern i have is that the boot takes like 7 minutes, but i don't really care, it works fine once its up and running!!! woot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
