giga.ubuntu Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I've just burned Kalyway 10.5.2 iso onto a dvd-r. When i try to boot off it i get the apple/boot.plist file not found error. Sata hdd + IDE dvd rw burner. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenameisgabe Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Post your setup info (mobo etc etc). Sounds like you have a Jmicron controller, so you're going to have to install from either a SATA DVD drive or an external USB DVD drive. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inimicus Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Things that have helped others: - Burn the DVD again. This time, select the slowest burn speed. - If you have the option to select boot source, press the key to bring you to the Device Select menu. Wait. Count to (at least) ten. Select the DVD drive. This is the most obscure solution. - Use an external USB DVD drive (as stated above). Or you may need to use an external USB hard drive. Or both. - Inject the kext for your chipset into the disc image. Reburn at the slowest speed. This only works if you know your controller and of a tested working kext. Goodluck.

giga.ubuntu Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yes i have a jmicron motherboard, the Asus P5E VM-DOhttp://ca.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&...amp;modelmenu=1Im going to re-burn at at X1 and try to wait at the F8 selection screenthanks for the replies :)Im new at adding kexts though. In the torrent folder for layway .5.2theres a folder called "ADD_KEXT_TO_DVD"with a readme that says: Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD Intel_Amd (sse2/sse3) EFI V8 if you want adding drivers support to dvd boot then put kexts you want add to dvd extensions in this folder (you can find natit for at hd in this folder) and run Add_kext_to_dvd_boot.command !!! What do i do? Put the kexts on a flash drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toshiba_mac24 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 That's what I thought. I think that the command file is used ot add it to the dvd, but you have to have Leopard installed in order for them to work. Again, this is what I think I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga.ubuntu Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Alright well im going to try burning it at a really slow speed, is there anything i can change in the bios to maybe help? EDIT:: RE-burned @ 4X, same thing happened. It's weird though because back when i had my amd osx like before christmass/ it ran off the same dvd ide drive.

one_tjc Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've had the same issue (and not past it yet) however, i've gathered from search that you need to: Bios > Advanced: IOAPTC - Enabled Execute disabled Bit - Enabled Max CPUID - Disabled Bios > Sata - AHCI (or IDE if you run into problems) Bios> Power: ACPI - enabled (this is crucial) Standby - S3 Other things: Remove/unplug ALL ide devices (run from ext dvd drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzanova Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i had the same problem regarding the ide dvd drive i did find a solution by adding a ide harddrive to the ide cable which made the install work note i could only install on the sata hdd and not the ide hdd and the ide hdd was in the middle before the ide dvd drive mobo is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga.ubuntu Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Ill try those bios tweaks now, and later ill try the ide hdd trick. I couldnt find that "IOAPTC feature, but i did all the other ones, didnt work. Also gave me a bsod in xo for i set the sata back to ide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropics Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 not the apple screen, when u turn ur pc on and it has a black screen at first with a little white bar at ur top right corner, when it starts to spin keep hitting f8 until u get to ur boot start up, then hit enter. btw, this is only for install from the start, not with it already installed...

dazz Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 ok i have the same problem now but... i'm writting this on my hackintosh, i use a hdd i installed with previous mobo/proc it worked so i changed the mobo and the proc then i get this error the dvd drive remains the same. meaning with old mobo/proc it was working, i installed everything corectly but the SAME dvd drive won't read the SAME disc with different mobo/proc so i guess it has nothing to do with the drive, but more with mobo compatibily or whatever this doesn't solve much ....
