digitalperformer Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've been trying to figure out why my freshly installed GUID SATA vanilla Leopard (as per specification: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=76404) isn't booting after BIOS. iAtkos; which automatically installs Darwin as a bootloader ( "Darwin Boot" ) boots. It boots to Darwin bootloader and to iAtkos Leopard. I've obtained the pc_efi_V80 folder which contains .startupfiletool yadda yadda and all boot files. Are these EFI patch files only? The readme file states to use Grub for mulitboot systems and instructs to install and name selection Darwin.... Single boot states only to ./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot_v8 I'm really confused at this... "diskutil list" shows /dev/disk3 #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *232.9 Gi disk3 1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk3s1 2: Apple_HFS PCLeo 232.6 Gi disk3s2 Can someone please shed light on this. Do I have to manually install a bootloader and if so how? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101748-how-to-install-bootloader/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Take a look at this bootloader package I created ccg bootefi.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101748-how-to-install-bootloader/#findComment-725784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalperformer Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Take a look at this bootloader package I created ccg Thanks dude... it did the trick... now the next problem... I'm seeing a circle hash mark load over the apple logo during booting... a few seconds later I get a kernel panic. Hmmm... any ideas.. I removed EFItime.kext and installed dsmos and SMBio kexts.
