Toraz Chryx Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi guys, I'm trying to get a boot-132/retail install up and working on :- Inspiron 530 (.18 bios) 2.53Ghz E5200 Radeon 3650 3GB DDR2 500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA controller HAS to be in RAID/ACHI mode (Vista install that's present would be a tremendous pain to rework - long story) I can boot into the OS install (presently it's unpatched 10.5) bootstrapping with the boot-132 disk, but attempting to boot from the OS disk itself with Chameleon 2.0-R431 (with all the kexts from the boot-132 img in /extra/) installed leads to a boot1: error failure... What probably completely obvious thing am I missing here? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can throw me. Oh, the partition is GUID format, HFS+ _not_ case sensitive I've tried the manual boot1h relocation fix, no joy. now attempting an install to an MBR partition, as I recall I might have tried this already and the OSX installer basically gave me the finger and refused to install to the partition though :/ -- yep, "you cannot install MacOS X on this volume." This thing is being a very big headache, patching to 10.5.7 (with the ATA controller in either mode) results in a circle-with-a-cross-through-it hang during the grey apple startup screen :/ If anyone has a way to nail this thing on the first try, so to speak, I'd be glad to hear it.

Toraz Chryx Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Aha, progress it seems rolling back to Chameleon 1.0.12 results in being able to actually boot.. now for the "fun" of getting 10.5.7 to work on the thing... * gets the script to nuke appletymcedriver.kext ready * wish me luck!
