asfastas63 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi everyone, I've been around the forums for a while but never found the need to post a topic for myself until now. I searched around but couldn't find anything similar so I figured I'd ask the audience. First of all, here are my system specs.. i7 920 Asus Rampage ii Gene XFX GTX 280 6gb Corsair Dominator @1600 150gb Raptor @10,000rpm I've been following one of the guides in the wiki and trying to use the myHack installer (Link) with a restored image of the SL disk on a flash drive. I am able to boot to the installer fine, but once setup starts it begins to run very, very slowly. At first I thought the system was hung up, but after letting it run for hours it finally dropped to 29 minutes. I've let it run now for 24 hours, which has the progress bar at about 98% with the message "10 minutes remaining". The interesting thing is that when I tested an install on my external hdd, everything worked perfectly and it ran right through in the allotted time, but for some reason it doesn't like my raptor. I've run consistency checks on it, the drive works fine in windows, and i've even used the WD utility to write all 0's just for completeness. The only error codes that come up are in the very beginning of the install where it states the following, From disk utility -NSDocumentController's invocation of -[NSFileManager URLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error:] returned nil for NSAutoavedInformationDirectory. Here's the error: -Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=642 UserInfo=0x10888e450 "You can't save the file "Autosave Information" because the volume "Mac OS x Install DVD" is read only." Underlying error=(Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=30 "The operation couldn't be completed. Read-only file system") From Mac OS X Installer -Looking for system packages -no system packages found -No or Invalid system receipts found on /Volumes/Snow Leopard -Attempting fallback using /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SystemMigration.framework/Resources/FallbackSystemFiles.plist -Finding system files... -Writing system path cache. -Error writing cache to /Volumes/Snow Leopard/Library/Caches/com.apple.FindSystemFiles.plist -Failed to enumerate /Volumes/Snow Leopard/Library/Caches, cannot prune ( - "com.apple.user*pictureCache*" - ) After some google-ing it seems that people with legit macs get this error when experience hdd failure. I tried this on two raptors and it produced the same results, so I can't imagine they are both on the fritz since the work fine with windows. Also some people were experiencing this with aftermarket RAM, and once the original sticks were replaced it installed fine. (I haven't explored this yet because I've been letting the installer run). So my question is 1. Does anyone have any ideas? and 2. Even if the installer finishes sometime in the next week, what are the chances of the install actually working? I would really like SL installed on my raptor, but I'm almost to the point of giving up and rma'ing / trying it with a non-raptor drive. I've just come so far that it would kill me to quit the installer now. I apologize for the extremely long post, thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read it.

anonymosity Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have exactly the same symptoms and error messages. I've also been around but never posted before - go figure. The only difference is that I'm trying to install iATKOS S on VMWare. Aside of that, the situation is identical. Consider this a bump, I guess!

I apologize for the extremely long post, thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read it. i'd just wait it out and see what happens. you've come this far might as well. once it finishes or fails why not try to install on a different hd? just to double check. if it also happens on that... if it fails how is your bios set up? is the raptor the only hd connected? did you choose ahci in bios? try and install with 4gb. move the sata cable to a different plug. how did you partition the drive? double check everything, move the sata to a different one, select ahci, boot with 4gb, and see how it goes. here is a thread of the rampage 2 gene - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...&hl=rampage maybe they can be of more help.
