wcr3d Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I managed to get SL installed but at the end it said it was unable to bless the startup volume and to select the startup volume from the manager. Which I tried to do but that would allow either. Finally forced a restart. I get the following on boot... Starting up... boot0:GPT boot0:testing boot0:testing boot0:testing boot0:error Any help would be greatly appreciated, almost there! BTW, this install is overwriting 10.5.8 listed below.

r0m30 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You don't say what boot loader you're using, the messages imply Chameleon, if that's true then boot1h is missing. Reinstall it (sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk?s?)

We had this problem due to the BIOS in E520 such that Chameleon version prior to 2.0 RC4 would not boot, with exactly this message. Stevo documented this on his blog too. http://blog.thestevo.com/2009_10_01_archive.html You used to have to work around it by loading Chameleon from grub, but now... The problem is fixed in Chameleon 2.0 RC 4. Download the latest version, and install the newest version of boot1h, it should work for you.

nasch007 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 We had this problem due to the BIOS in E520 such that Chameleon version prior to 2.0 RC4 would not boot, with exactly this message. Stevo documented this on his blog too. http://blog.thestevo.com/2009_10_01_archive.html You used to have to work around it by loading Chameleon from grub, but now... The problem is fixed in Chameleon 2.0 RC 4. Download the latest version, and install the newest version of boot1h, it should work for you. How do you know if Chameleon is supported by your hardware?? I used fdisk to print out my MBR... how do I know if I'm EFI or something else? Also where do you get the latest boot1h/boot0? Note: I'm installing off the hazard 10.6.1-10.6.2 iso I got from a certain website (rhymes with irate ey) and I encounter the same (as well as others) error. I tried selecting the bootloader Chameleon R3 PCEFI 10.5 in the install as well as the PCEFI 10.3 doing clean installs and my computer just hard resets when I attempt to boot that partition. I reformatted the partition and clean installed selecting UUID as an option (w/out the above bootloaders) and with the partition set as active I get boot0: testing, boot0: testing, boot0: testing, boot0: testing, boot0: error When I set my windows 7 partition to active and attempt to boot using EasyBCD 2.0 I get Chain Booting Error. Where did I go wrong? Note: Here's my HDD setup Seagate ST3300620AS SATA 4 primary partitions, 1st partition Fedora Core 12, 2nd partition OSX SnowLeopard (!), 3rd partition WinXP Pro, 4th Partition Win7 I've got the motherboard and processor from a Sony Vaio VGC-RA828G(UC). By the way with a little tinkering I was able to get this setup to run Kalyway's 10.5.2 pretty much flawlessly. This all came about after I dicked up and used Mac's Software update...golden rule- never touch a working system...

imrazor Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 boot0: testing,boot0: testing, boot0: testing, boot0: testing, boot0: error Just in case anyone else gets this (*without* "boot0: GPT" or "boot0: MBR"), I found that my problem was that I had installed to an extended partition by mistake. Once I deleted all signs of the extended partition, and installed to a primary partition I was able to boot 10.6. One clue of this is if your partition number is greater than 4.

Beerkex'd Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Also where do you get the latest boot1h/boot0?

johnro Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm also getting this error myself but it was because I accidentally deleted a partition on the Snow Leopard disk which apparently was simply supposed to be hidden. I deleted this partition using disk management on win7. Win7 is installed on a second Hdd. When I first installed OSx I ended up with the main snow leopard partition plus two other small ones (which I'm guessing were used to start the system), well I deleted one and now my Snow Leopard doesn't want to load and on Win7 this disc appears as 'dynamic'. I booted with the Snow Leopard disc and got to disk utilities and tried to set the Disk0 partition 2 as active as found in many posts but that didn't work. Disk utility sees a single partition and says that Partition type is windows_LDM but Win Disk Management recognizes all the partitions fine. do you guys think I'd have to install everything from scratch or would I be able to save my beautiful hackintosh? It was perfect already. Any help is really appreciated.

johnro Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 bump - anyone who could share some info? It'd be great not having to reinstall my os. I've searched already but didn't find anyone with this same issue. Some similar but their solutions didn't work on mine.
