Jash Sayani Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi all, Got the iATKOS 1.0 DVD and Leo4All. When I try to boot, I get the following error message (Same problem with both of them): System config file 'com.apple.Boot.plist' not found I have a TOSHIBA M45-S351 Notebook 100 GB HDD, 2 GB RAM, 2 MB L2 Cache, SSE 2, Intel 915 Motherboard Here are the BIOS Pics (Just incase some settings need to be changed).

ilostmyunicorn Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 uhm, from what I've read you should make your optical drive 1st in 'boot priority' If that doesn't work then join the party, because I'm in the same boat as you. =[ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100628-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-717537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jash Sayani Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well, Changing the boot order is of no sense as on startup, I press F12 and choose boot from CD. On booting, I get the error message. Can anyone please help.!..?

eddie11c Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 This is what you usually see with AHCI enabled on a DVD drive(even though you may have no option for it).

Jash Sayani Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 This is what you usually see with AHCI enabled on a DVD drive(even though you may have no option for it). Any way to put off the AHCI to get this thing working !!! ... ? Do you think Kalyway will work ? Already through with iATKOS & Leo4All !

ricki Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 i used to get this error even as i typed, but there is a trick i came up with, after a successful boot into leopard after eight months trying, i went to that file com.apple.Boot.plist change some shiit in there i.e time to display op choice which took effect immediately - i came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter that file can indeed be found. the trick i used is to go to the bios a bit i.e press esc button or whatever to get OS choice then pick your leopard partition, it couldn't be that simple guys. any other help ask away Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100628-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-724958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, How ? When I boot through the DVD, I get that error, then how can I edit that file? Could you explain a little more in detail ? Thanks!

ntsmkfob Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 The error is because the boot loader doesn't know which partition to start, not because there is anything wrong with com.apple.boot.plist. This problem has been discussed many many times. Use search to find discussions about it.

For me I pressed F12 Boot Menu pops up (You can choose any drive) I choose my leopard drive, and it gives me that error later on, I don't have an option to choose OS though, just diff hd's.

Jash Sayani Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Can someone explain what are "kexts" and how do you edit them ? Because I am using an Intel 915 and due to incompatibility, I have to edit some kext files. How do I locate them ? What editor to use ? I am using a DVD-R, How can I save the kext after editing ? Some help with these could solve many problems of mine... Thanks!

Jash Sayani Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 kexts are what drivers is to M$ windows, softwares or instruction to run you some hardware and stuff on hackintosh. why do you want to edit them. Because I had read somewhere that Leopard wont run my my Laptop as it is an Intel 915 chipset and I need to add some kexts in order to make it run... Anyways, finally I have come to one solution to this problem. It can be a problem with IDE/SATA DVD Drive. So can you please help me with Installation with a USB Drive ? I think it will make Leopard work! How do I make my 4 Gig USB Drive into a Leopard installastion disk ? Putting the image ? Thanks!

Jash Sayani Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 How do you make a Leopard Installation disk on a USB drive ?

bg11390 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I have gotten the same problem. I understand what ricki says, but i don't understand the timing. When I boot up i see the toshiba screen, then it boots from a CD (first to boot from). The screen shows the countdown and Darwin,etc... When do I press ESC ? I have tried Kaylway and iAktos v.1 to no avail (and 6 DVDs later....) any help would be great. I have installed 10.4 before, but I am trying to upgrade to 10.5 and I am running a Toshiba Tecra M7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100628-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-736582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
