movieihave Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey all, hopefully someone can help. I am having a bit of a different problem. I can install the mac osx disc to my USB Drive fine. But when I install the magicinstaller.pkg it goes through the installation fine but after its completed there are no files on my USB stick. I am installing on a macmini. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or solutions. Can I copy and paste the files from somewhere else to my usb stick without going through the install package. Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Also, make sure you selected the USB drive when running magicinstaller.pkg. Is your macmini intel or powerpc? -Ed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187440-lifehacker-guide-with-ga-ep45-ud3p-motherboard/page/27/#findComment-1340951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegabriel Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey everyone, looking for a small bit of help. This is my first Hackintosh and I ran through the Lifehacker guide. Everything is working perfect, sound and network works and so does sleep. My only problem is if I remove my USB Key and reboot, I get "boot0: error" after the Verifying DMA message on Post. The guide said to redo a couple commands but using the SL OS Partition (disk0s2 on mine). I even put boot and the Extras folder onto my "Macintosh HD" folder. The nice thing is I can try things and if it doesn't work, I can just put the USB key back in and hit an arrow and select my HD to boot back up. Just looking for some clarification as to what I might be doing wrong. Just so it's written, I have downloaded the Chameleon and I am in the i386 folder when I run... sudo fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdisk0 sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdisk0s2 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

huntington Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The likely hood of 2 bad drives while possible is almost unheard of. I would definitely try another port on the motherboard and I might also suggest taking off and checking the thermal compound to the CPU. I have seen where the CPU can start to overheat and lock everything up. Do this after you test the ports on the board and see what happens. For your situation it could be a bad board, and hopefully nothing more. If I remove the heat sink to check the thermal compound, does that mean I have to buy some thermal compound (like Artic Silver ot whatever) and apply it before I reseat it? Is there a good site you'd recommend for showing me what I'm supposed to be seeing? I can't seem to find a good "this is what it's supposed to look like (or not)" reference Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/187440-lifehacker-guide-with-ga-ep45-ud3p-motherboard/page/27/#findComment-1341189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacTech84 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Running two 1.5TB HDs, one is just partitioned for data, other is OS. No dual boots. I have a Seagate 1.5TB drive as my primary and I was getting the same error. Supposedly in Chameleons 2.0 RC3, they were supposed to include large drive support, but I have not seen it. Here is what you need to do. Use Disk Utility to make 2 partitions with the drive. The primary cannot be greater than 1 TB otherwise you get that error. I guess there`s no way to just copy and paste the needed boot files from the magic installer package to the USB Key right? I would not recommend doing that, simply because using the installer puts the correct file permissions to it. Use another mac if you can. *update* it looks like it was a heat sink issue. Wasn't seated properly. Need to get a new one -- anyone have any recommendations? I would go through newegg.com, and if you are not doing any kind of overclocking choose a smaller cooler. I had a Zalman on this board, and it barely fit because of the mounting brackets. Just choose one that you see supports your chip.

I am at work but I noticed this right before I left, I had forgotten to set the Partition Type to Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled). Instead I left it on the default which I believe was just Mac OS Extended. I'm guessing it's easier for me to just wipe it off and redo it with the proper type. I'll give it a shot with the full 1.5TB on the proper Partition Type and if it fails there I'll chop into 2 Partitions.

codymac Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Anyone want to try the FakeSMC from netkas, http://netkas.org/?p=338 to see what happens with your temps before and after, and let us know if you see any KP's... I gave it a shot to see if it corrected what I thought might be an incorrect TJ somewhere. It worked through one boot and I got an unattributable KP on the second boot so I pulled it (wasn't verbose and no log for it). I'm getting odd temps from iStat - the phone says 61/57/57/56 (and the widget confirms it although the widget only sees two cores). Real Temp and Core Temp agree on 39/39/37/37 (and the BIOS is somewhere around there). Anyone know offhand why my reported temps are so out of whack? I'm assuming the V3 "ten degrees hotter" is actual and not reported - even if I misread that, it doesn't account for the other 12 degree difference. And yeah, that's booting right back & forth between OSX and XP to check.

mikegabriel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I tried and didn't get it working. Partitioned it and got it working. Then I did the updates as the LH guide said it was good. Now my bootloader screen has changed (Blue screen with the Chameleon Logo) and when I hit enter or let it countdown I get greeted with "You need to restart your computer". Anyone mind giving me a simple answer of is there an easy way to reverse or am I wiping a third time and trying again?

Are you using the terminal method? or just going with the V3 installer? as it sounds like the bootloader is messed up. Also, be sure that your primary partition is not greater than 1 TB, as in 1.01 TB, I know it sounds stupid, but I tried several combinations... What I would recommend is if you do another re-install, partition appropriately, install onto the primary partition, then before any updates, install the V3 installer to the primary drive. Then use Apple's Combo Update and you should be set to 10.6.2. Nothing more than that hopefully.

mikegabriel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Alright well I tried everything I knew from basics of Unix and Mac to try and make it work but gave up and wiped and am in the process of reloading again.. Had really nothing to lose. I just wont update at all. What I've found & learned: If I used my USB Key, I was able to boot into my OS and do anything, as well see that I was running 10.6.2. I suspect that something happened on the boot file that caused it to screw up and crash on me. Every time it crashed while trying to boot, it would reset my BIOS to defaults (Including timestamp). I was unable to boot anything over 1TB. In order to boot my drive, I had to use the "boot" file located in the "i386" folder of the latest Chameleon build and copy it to my root drive. Using the one provided in the Lifehacker tutorial would not work, it would generate "boot0: error". Once I replaced this file, it booted perfectly. I am getting really good at setting up the BIOS and reloading the OS and applying the Chameleon Boot file & Audio Kext. Are you using the terminal method? or just going with the V3 installer? as it sounds like the bootloader is messed up. Also, be sure that your primary partition is not greater than 1 TB, as in 1.01 TB, I know it sounds stupid, but I tried several combinations...

Then use Apple's Combo Update and you should be set to 10.6.2. Nothing more than that hopefully. Alright I already reformatted and am active on a 200gb Partition. I did what you suggested, downloaded the V3 Installer from Stell's Blog and ran it against my "/" drive. Rebooted the Hack without the flash drive in, booted fine, custom bootloader image and all so obviously the patch worked. My audio works on reboot (Great!) I am on Apples site now, downloading the Combo Update for 10.6.2. It has 5 minutes left and then I'll run it and cross my fingers. If that works...

If I try installing 6GB or 8GB it just keeps rebooting over and over. I have set the voltage several different ways without any success.

sgunes Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I found tonight that McAfee also had a firewall. Check if your Virus protection also includes its own firewall. I have a total of 5 other machines on the same wired network. One XP does have nothing on it and the XP firewall is turned off. The others have Vista and Win7 with various programs working (firewall, virus scanners). I am surprised that the iAtkos 7 OSX 10.5.8 could see all windows machines. With the info I got from here now all machines can see the hackintosh but not the other way around. Does anyone have this Lifehacker build running with an ATI 5850 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814131184) card? I know the guide is specifically for dual DVI Nvidia cards but I do not want to spend money on some last-generation product.

I just found out the Lifehacker guide was misleading and the one I am looking at still is. I just tried to load some Adobe applications and got the error saying Case Sensitive was wrong. Bah! After I finally had everything running and all my data transferred haha. Is there any way to change the partition type easily without wiping it on a Hack? For example: Time Machine the data onto Partition 2, format Partition 1 into "Mac OS Extended Journaled" and then restore the Time Machine via the USB Installer under Utilities -> Restore from Time Machine. Or will a time machine backup format the partition back to Case-Sensitive?
