tessa17 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Could having snow leo upgrade and full version make a world of difference when using boot 132. i ask because according to apple tiger users have to buy the boxed set and do a clean install where as leopard users can just upgrade? I am trying to download the boxed set now to see if that plays a part. Also has anyone tried on a p45 mb i read that p45 board are good for snow leopard? Could you post you success or fail?

Shakko Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Does the latest INTEL cd work okay for anybody? I boot off the cd and right before the Darwin boot prompt, I get an error about some file not found.. but it's only for a split second. But anyway, back to this boot prompt.. is this where I enter my SL dvd and then hit enter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbonilla Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I am attempting to edit both the boot-132 v2.iso and the boot-132(intel).iso and both do not let me mount the initrd.img and edit them, is this just a problem that I have, or do others have the same thing happening?

I guess i'll wait but thank for the hard work on the boot 132 i was closer than ever before your disc. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trus0und Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Im afraid i got the black screen after boot result with your cd. Also it doesnt appear to load me boot.plist as the graphics mode is ignored. Keep up the good work! I hope this can be overcome! flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheClaws Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Anybody getting the error when following SuperHai's method running hdiutil: "_CFGetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host." This happens if I'm attaching, detaching or resizing. Can't build ISO because it hangs forever. Googled for a fix. Didn't find any. Any help would be great! Thanks.

matmatoo Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey everyone! Like many people, after using the BOOT-132 I get a black screen with my CD drive not reading snow leopard... Also another question, I'm currently running Leopard 10.5.8 and was wondering: When i attempt to install snow leopard in 10.5.8 itself, it has to reboot during installation, then i insert my boot cd and it boots into leopard 10.5.8 but the snow leopard installation doesn't continue.. Any ideas? Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwinn555 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I also get the black screen soon after putting in the SL DVD. I've got intel 950 graphics built in could this be the reason? It shows the 945 chipset when booting from the first disk. Also at least a few people are using the 945 chipset with Intel 950 graphics. Looking forward to seeing if there's anyway to get this to work. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwinn555 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks for the quick posting of the file. Sadly it doesn't work. It doesn't show my graphics chip info like the other ones. It also quickly goes to a black screen with a blinking - . When i insert the DVD nothing happens and I can't input anything either. thanks for trying.

gbonilla Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 For clarification, is this boot-132 cd to boot the DVD for installation? or is it to boot an already installed partition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer75 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have a 975x chipset. With leopard the only thing I need to install is apple azalia audio and applesmbiosefi with a vanilla kernel and then once i'm loaded I use EFI studio to add the efi strings for my 9800gtx and then I have 100% functionality. However I haven't ever had any luck with boot132. Maybe i'll give it another go with SL and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
