idono1301 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Hello all, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I guess i'll start with the specs for my computer. Mobo- Asus P4SD-VL Chipset- Intel i865P/PE/G/i848P Processor- Pentium 4 RAM- 1GB Video Card- Ati Radeon 9200 HDD- 40GB Maxtor (IDE Connection) DVD drive- Unknown (IDE Connection) Well so far, I have tried a iATKOS v1.0r2 disk, I used disk utility to format the whole drive as Mac Journaled, with a GPT(GUID?) partition table. Then at the customize screen, i selected the Darwin x86 bootloader(no efi). After the installation, I rebooted and it came up with a B0 error. Next i searched on here, and found out i had to set the partition to active. i did that, but now I'm stuck with a blinking cursor. Any ideas on what to do? I will be trying Kalyway 10.5.1 within the next hour or so. Also, i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me in about a week with a Boot-132 install. Will my computer even work with boot 132? i will be ordering my OS X retail disk tomorrow, and am hoping to get this um and running first, so that by the time the disk comes, i will have a working system and be a little more familiar with Leopard. Thanks. EDIT: After installing Kalyway 10.5.1, i get the error "System config file '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman1976 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 the com.apple.bootlist {censored} is usually because the bios needs to be set to HD boot first followed by cd.. try that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idono1301 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 hey, thanks for the reply.. well now i can get to darwin, i press f8, and -v, it goes through the normal lines running down, but then the screen blanks out.. i have left it for a few miniutes already. any idea now? thanks EDIT without -v, i see the white screen, which then blanks out.. also, on -v, the last line is some directory(with spotlight in the path), then something about index ci error? the last words are something about no index.. after searching, the error resembles this: /.Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/Stores/6931734F-E75A-4184-B567-B48030202308) (Error) IndexCI in ContentIndexOpenBulk:No index i cant guarantee that thats character for character, but it looks the same.. the whole part after (Error) is correct though..
