dannyw Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hello everyone I have scoured the forums, and tried time and time again to get this thing to work, but I have failed! Maybe someone knows the answer? I have tried installing at least 20 times, made multiple discs, same issue I fresh install JaS OSx86 10.5.4 Client Server Intel SSE2 SSE3 on a system with an Intel Bad Axe 2 mobo, 4gb ram, quadcore, After install with GUID, MBR, even marking the partition active, first prompts for disc install or F8, then it goes to boot and gives option for Ethernet PXE Client And thats it. If I hit enter, it says Boot.phlist not found. I have tried 3 different IDE ATA hard drives, and 2 different SATA drives. Tried every SATA port on mobo, I do not know what to do! Maybe I am selecting the wrong options? I tried every variation i could within reason. Chose the Chipset ICH7 for intel What do I do?! Thanks everyone Update: With the DVD in the drive, I have now managed to get past that point, but I am booting now to a gray screen with a mouse cursor, and i can move it. If i boot without the dvd in the drive i get a message: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key ? any ideas?

ntsmkfob Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 In the BIOS on my badaxe2, the Drive configuration is set to Native, and the Sata setup is AHCI, not RAID or IDE. The Marvel SATA slots have never worked. If you have OSX on it's own drive, plug that drive in as SATA 0 and make sure it is top og the boot device list in the BIOS.

dannyw Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 I just tried F8 at the dvd prompt, and typed rd=disk0s1 and it boots --- takes me to a screen that says Before you Begin, your keyboard cannot be identified, etc Saw this on some other post but it was about another issue I am using an IDE drive for this install I am not sure what you want me to do? What packages should I be using during the install? thanks very much Successfully booted into Leopard after booting with DVD, F8 - rd=disk0s1 boots just fine. What do I need to do to boot it without this command? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126101-cannot-solve-problem-with-jas-1054-install-on-bad-axe-2/#findComment-891211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_loosh_ Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I have the same problem with my Bad Axe 2 - everything installs fine, reboots and I get the error: No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key What's weird is that if I plug the drive in to my other Hack Gigabyte 945 board, it boots fine! What's stopping the Intel board booting the disc? Disc is SATA, connected to SATA port 0 and BIOS set to AHCI. This is driving me crazy _loosh_ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126101-cannot-solve-problem-with-jas-1054-install-on-bad-axe-2/#findComment-893600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre2kse Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 If it boots to PXE , examine the BIOS boot order where PXE is positioned and if it is last/after HD it mean it is not identifying your drive as a bootable device. You should disable or remove PXE boot (unless u use it). For the others, do you know if the JaS install sets the partition active? Have you tried following the Bad Axe 2 guidelines here from BJMoose, Team Scream, PcWiz ... http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...s#10.5.2_Guides http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=76014 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;p=653520& If it doesn't boot search for the guide on how to make the boot partition active hope that helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126101-cannot-solve-problem-with-jas-1054-install-on-bad-axe-2/#findComment-893751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keko Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Is your SATA drive the first device? On my system OSX won't boot if it's the drive is not connected to the first hardware SATA port.

jyppi Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't have the bad axe but had a similar problem on another machine. I set the BIOS to "fail safe settings" and it found the drive. It may give you at least half the SATA ports most people have on the bad axe.
