chevypv Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have successfully installed ideneb 1.4 10.5.6. I couldn't get it to boot at all after the initial restart untill i added rd=disk0s1 into the boot. the problem is, it will only boot this way or at all if i have the dvd in the drive and press f8 for boot options when it is starting up. if i remove the dvd from the drive it sits at the apple screen with the rotating pinwheel thing and then the rotating stops and it hangs. I tried booting it verbose and it hung during a bunch of mac file decrypting... if there was a visible error it was below the overscan on my lcd... any ideas? i can still boot into the os no problem with the dvd initiating the boot and the rd=disk0s1 string.... thanks hardware hp pavillion 750n p4b266-la motherboard pentium 4 2.0ghz northwood geforce 4 mx440 agp 8x 768 ram ac'97 onboard sound intel 845 chipset Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153789-ideneb-14-boot-issue-wont-boot-without-dvd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be interesting so I'm holding this spot to EDIT with the fix; when we get it! iDeneb 1.4 install to SATA drive using an IDE DVD drive, in Combo/Legacy mode in BIOS. Computer looses boot device when install DVD is removed. On black screen reads"cannot find boot device" f1 to retry f2 to setup Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153789-ideneb-14-boot-issue-wont-boot-without-dvd/#findComment-1118924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Missing bootloader on the HDD and/or partition not flagged as bootable/active. Use the search guys.. http://######.com/osx86search/resul...FORID%3A11#1032 http://######.com/osx86search/resul...FORID%3A11#1127 Read this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86593 Right, so the link in that post doesn't work, a little creative searching and here it is: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75974 Or try downloading and installing the latest Chameleon bootloader. Not sure about the "setting the partition as bootable" part, I don't think the Chameleon installer does it. But try installing Chameleon first, at least it won't make your situation any worse.
