jmaggi22 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm attempting to switch from ubuntu, and no matter what release or patch I use, I always get the error message "missing file /com.apple.boot.plist" or something to the tune of that. My machine is sse2 compatible, perhaps it's my IDE CD drive? Afters weeks of googling, it appears I have an uncommon problem. I have never got past that error message, and that is the only thing I see after pressing F12, and booting the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerojojo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi, I just tried to replace my working Kaliway install with JaS 10.5.4 and I get the same error after install. I've tried numerous driver selections, but always the same error. My Hardware should be pretty compatible: 1,8GHz Pentium Dual-Core Asus p5w dh deluxe Geforce 7300GT 256MB 4GB Ram I didn't select any Kernel so as to get a vanilla install, as I understand it. Then the Intel ICHx driver, Skge driver for network, ALC882 for audio, NVKush for graphics and a JMicron driver. I have two partitions on my harddrive and I only erases the main partition to install JaS 10.5.4 on it. Could that be a problem? Thank you guys for wasting your precious time on fools like me. Yours Zerojojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skrjon Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have noticed with the Kalyway disk that if you do not hit a button within 3 seconds it will default to booting from your Hard disk. Unless I have a OSX bootable drive I will get the Error mentioned above. Where does it say its booting from? hda(0,1)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaggi22 Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 It doesn't say anything about where it's booting from, and I've tried to profusely press buttons while it's booting, to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
