CompBond Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have IBM R52 laptop with Intel Pentium-M 1.6 Ghz with SSE and SSE2 (look at attached file for detailed CPU info). I have Windows XP and Ubuntu installed on this machine. I read a few articles online and saw some videos on youtube.com about the Mac OS on intel so thought of installing on my Comp. I downloaded Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso and Acronis OS Selector 8.0.914 installed as told in the videos. After instalation when my computer restarted I saw the Apple logo and then the computer screen turned blue without even the cursor there. I did forced shut down and removed the dvd and restarted my comp. The acronis was gone so i ran the acronis recovery boot disk and recovered the Acronis OS selector. Then I could see four partitions (including IBM recovery partition). I selected the Unkown Operating System but then it gives horrifying HFS+ Partition Error and nothing works. Please suggest me how can I see the amazing mac screen on my laptop? P.S.: In one of the articles i read that "Jas OS 10.4.6 has option to select what CPU option i want to install either SSE2 or SSE3" means evenif my comp is only SSE2 it should support. Unluckily i am not able to download the Jas OS 10.4.6. CPU_Info.doc Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122391-hfs-partition-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
codingrobot Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Try using pc_efi from netkas and boot it from grub. It should recognize your partitions and boot the kernel.

CompBond Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Thanks for helping. I read the this article and tried pc_efi v8. I made the mentioned changes in the menu.lst of my ubuntu 8.04 too. but when i restarted my comp and selected the entry of Mac OS Leopard in Grub then it started booting into Windows. I again restarted my comp and selected Mac OS again but interrupted the boot within 2 seconds and it said like you have two options: 80 (first disk) and 81 (second disk). In first option it goes to windows XP and in second option it gives error: file missing '/com.apple.Boot.plist Please suggest what to. mind you i got the blue screen after restart during the Mac installation sequence. Is it because of that faulty installation? or installation was full? can i find this file some where and copy it there on the drive? some how?
