ceremonia Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 hey man You have to fix the boot after the installation. For that you will need - a usb key fat32 named 123. - this file http://rapidshare.com/files/65965115/files.rar.html Then put the folder "files" on the root of your key. Boot from your dvd, put you key, go to the terminal: diskutil list (to know on witch partition is installed osx , for me it's rdisk0s1 for disk 0 partition 1) Activate the partition: fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX (replace x by the number of your disk) fdisk: 0>update fdisk:*0> f Y (replace y by the number of your partition) “Partition 2 marked active” fdisk:*0> w Device could not be accessed exclusively. A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n]y Writing MBR at offset 0. fdisk: 0> q Install Bootfix: cd /Volumes/123/files/bootfix ./dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXsY bs=512 count=1 (always ajusting X and Y for your installation) umount /Volumes/Leopard ./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdiskXsY /usr/standalone/i386/boot It's done, normaly you can boot without dvd.

SticMAC™ Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Or you can leave the DVD in, boot to your OSX installation, then re-install Chameleon to that drive, as easy as that!

ceremonia Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Or more easy if you have a Linux partition, you can add your osx partion in the bootloader by editing the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (if of course you use grub) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147609-boot-error-problem/#findComment-1047570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
