Ego Tripper Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I've seen this topic discussed here a number of times, but it mostly concerns dual booting and multiple bootloaders-- I don't want any of that. First, I followed the instructions here to edit the kernel flags in the boot.plist. It seems pretty straightforward, and it was exceedingly simple to do in OSX86 Tools. After modifying my plist, I used EFIStudio to put a copy of the new plist onto my EFI boot partition. All this seemed to do was break my shutdown. So, using OSX86 Tools again, I removed the kernel strings and cleared the caches. This alone did not fix my shutdown issue, but when I reinstalled the EFI partition with the flag-less plist (using EFIStudio), and then cleared the EFI partition's cache, my computer now shuts down properly. A number of people seem to have had success with the kernel flags method, leading me to believe I did something wrong. Should the flagged plist only appear on the EFI partition and not on my OS X partition? Also, I've heard some talk in the dual boot threads about this method being picky about which disk is active. I would try setting my OS X partition active, but seeing as how setting the EFI partition as active was a part of Munky's process, I would assume this would break my EFI booting. Does anybody know where I went wrong? P.S.: I know I was specifying the proper partition in the kernel flag, so nothing that obvious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.G Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Try setting it active, but burn your self a copy of PartedMagic or GParted if it doesnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Tripper Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Try setting it active, but burn your self a copy of PartedMagic or GParted if it doesnt work I added the kernel flags into a boot.plist and copied that over to my EFI partition & cleared the caches with EFIStudio. Then I set the partition with the OS (disk0s2) as active. That didn't work (it just re-broke my shutdown), so I added the same kernel flags to the OS partition's plist and cleared that disk's caches with OSX86 Tools. That didn't work either, so I decided to make sure the disc was active by running fdisk on it again. I've restarted several times since then and each time I have been asked to pick a partition during the boot process. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
