RotSoon Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hi...I´m new at this, and excuse me for my english. I´m trying to dual boot my PC - XP & Mac OS X 10.5.2 First I installed the XP, exactly like the tutorials say. When I boot with the DVD Kalyway 10.5.2 and press f8, I put -v.....and after a lot of words in the screen (I've read it's normal) it freezes....I've waited like 40 minutes and nothing.... I burned 2 DVD's, just in case was a error in the burning process, but nothing.... what can I do??????????? I have a Desktop PC, no prebuild.

bitninja Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Post the output of what the screen says when it freezes after using the -v boot flag. If it's easier, take a picture and post it up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitninja Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Ah - I had the same problem. Mount the image that you downloaded, and go and delete this kext (in Windows, kexts show up as folders): /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext OR what I'm hearing from some people who worked on this particular kext, is that you should instead go inside that kext and there will be an Info.plist, and an Info.plist.orig. The orig one is the one that needs to be the plain Info.plist. So if you rename the Info.plist to Info.plist.old or something, and the Info.plist.orig to Info.plist, this should solve your problem. You may or may not need to do the same thing after you install. Quoted from a guy who worked on this kext: The problem is caused in the following file: /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Info.plist In that directory you'll also notice an Info.plist.orig This was something I was experimenting with based on some information provided by Slice. In theory it should have been a good change but in practise it did nothing but cause crashes. I disabled it in my build process but for some reason Kalyway decided to add it and it was missed in his own testing. The solution is difficult because you need to overwrite the Info.plist with the Info.plist.orig to restore it to working values. Obviously on a read only media this is going to be a problem. I'm hoping Kalyway provides a PPF to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
