Lenovo s10 boot loop

[Markus.H.Petersen]

Hello to everybody,

 

this is my fist post so dont be to hard.

 

I´ve installed Macosx 10.5.4 with windowsosx86.iso and everything worked fine.

Then ive made the combo update to 10.5.7 and have installed msi upgrade pack 1.5

After this i made a reboot an whenn the white screen whit the apple appers the machine boots again.

 

So what to do now???

 

Thanks

Ok ive figured out it boots with boot: cpus=1

 

But typing this every time sucks a bit.

Is it possible to implement this in the boot?

Sure. Add cpus=1 to com.apple.Boot.plist in kernel flags section. Like

	<key>Kernel Flags</key>
 <string>cpus=1</string>

Notes:

if you use a Chameleon, locate the com.apple.Boot.plist file in /Extra folder (use PlistEdit Pro)

if you are not using Chameleon use OSx86Tools to add a flag or locate it manually in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and use PlistEdit Pro to edit

OSx86Tools by default opens the com.apple.Boot.plist file located in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration so if you use a Chameleon, it will edit the wrong file, therefore one need to edit it manually

Be sure to create a backup before editing

Ok thanks this worked, but now i have another Problem, the s10 boots and not the darwin is booting but there is

Realtek PCI Express Fast Ethernet Controller Series v1.17

PXW-E61: Media test failur, check cable

PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.

No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.

 

So booting with USB HDD doesnt work.

What to do now??

No, it works. Just need a boot loader to boot OS X. Try booting it using OS X install DVD.
