SantaByte Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi Everyone! I tried to install iDeneb on my Shuttle ST20G5 this weekend - and unfortunately failed... My first problem was that my harddisks weren´t recognized by the iDeneb software during installation, because the Shuttle has some weired SATA controller/driver (ULi M5287) - I fixed this problem by modifying the .iso with a customized Extensions.mkext. After that the installation of OSX was successfull - no error warnings, no hang-ups. When my computer tried to reboot it wouldn´t start MacOS X. Instead A boot menu showed up at which I could choose the hard disk to boot from. The problem is that only the second (empty) harddisk shows up, the harddisk with the OSX-installation is gone. When I hit enter (an thus choose the empty harddisk) I´m told that com.apple.boot.plist could not be found. Any ideas?

Gutterfly Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ooh, that sounds familiar.... thats what happened to me when I tried Kalyway 10.5.5. but I can't even install... I boot off the DVD and Im confronted with a bootprompt -i.e. boot: and no matter what option I choose (F8 or '?' or '-v' or -as stated in the readmetext '-v cpus=1') its always the same="com.apple.boot.plist not found. I would so much like to (try and) install Mac OS X on my Dell Studio 1555 lappy... Hi Everyone! I tried to install iDeneb on my Shuttle ST20G5 this weekend - and unfortunately failed...

SantaByte Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hi! Update: I found a way to install it properly - at least I thought so: I formatted my drives with the disk utility but did not hit the "Options" button - when I did today I found out, that the drives were formatted with a DOS/Windows (!) Master Boot Sector, not GUID for Apple. After that Darwin started like it should be. But when the grey Apple screen appeard the "STOP"-sign appeared....safe mode won´t start either ...any ideas now? edit: The installed packages are: german language AMD drivers AC-97 chipset VIA audio NVidia 256MB driver 800MHz DDR2-Driver some of the software packages edit 2: Re-installation without graphics/audio ect. -drivers doesn´t work either. After that I´m back to "com.apple.boot.plist" does not exist.
