vwyodapink Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I will post the system information at the bottom. I have a Dell M140 laptop. A purchased copy of 10.5.4. I have tried 4 different boot iso's but they all give me the same error of ebios read error : error 0x01 Block 16432736 Sectors 64. I noticed in one install I tried when I did -v before the install it looked like the ebios errors were coming up when it was doing something with mkext. Not positive though since it fly's by so fast. If I install just hitting enter twice to get the retail version to boot it ends up at the grey screen with the apple. -v I either get waiting for root devices or firewire security depending on the boot I use. I am not understanding how to make your own boot disk while your in windows changing img file to have more or less kexts or else I would have tried to remove the mkext. If you need anymore info or whatever please ask and I will fill you in. I think this is a great project going especially since you can use retail disks and buy your own. Thanks to all who made this possible. Super thanks to any who want to me get my install working.

vwyodapink Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I also tried installing this on a dell xps 400. I ended up with the same ebios errors. I have been searching and reading about this but can not figure this out Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/149024-my-troubles-installing-retail-1054/#findComment-1055591 Share on other sites More sharing options...
