hughythomas Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi guys! I am having serious issues trying to get Snow Leopard installed on a single HD (no previous OSx86 installs or other OSes). I am using the SnowOSX Universal distro and following this guide. On step 9 the guide says: "Now to fix this kernel Panic, you need to get the driver (KEXT) patch in place. Download it here (2 zipped files, extract both of them). Either copy this patch to USB drive and copy to your drive or alternatively you can boot into Windows (using Windows Start-up repair from windows installation disc) and installing MacDrive 8 to read/write Mac drives on Windows. Note: It is preferable that you do this via USB. Attempt the Windows method ONLY if USB doesn’t work for you. Boot into setup again and instead of installing, open terminal and write these commands" By USB: cd /Volumes/PenDriveName/FolderWhereYouKextsArePresent cp -R * /Volumes/SnowFX/System/Library/Extensions/ diskutil repairPermissions /Volumes/SnowFX/System/Library/Extensions Now, upon entering this Terminal reports the error "Ownership of the affected disk is required". Anybody got any bright ideas? This is exactly what I enter: cd /Volumes/Corsair (the files I need are just on the stick in no subfolder so presumably I don't need a / at the end?) cp -R * /Volumes/Macintosh/System/Library/Extensions/ diskutil repairPermissions /Volumes/Macintosh/System/Library/Extensions This is exactly the error I get back: Usage = diskutil verifyPermissions [-plist] MountPoint|DiskIndentifier|DeviceNode diskutil repairPermissions [-plist] MountPoint|DiskIndentifier|DeviceNode verify or repair the permissions of a Mac OS X boot volume Ownership of the affected disk is required Example: diskutil verifyPermissions / I want to get this all working because my current 2006 Mac Pro is having difficulty with Logic 9 Pro and all the DSP it needs to run. I want to try Hackintosh to see if an increase in power (I run a watercooled gaming PC) can increase Logic's performance or if it's driver issues. If the performance does increase obviously I'll have to buy a 2009 Mac Pro as I use Logic professionally and can't get by on a hack Cheers in advance for any replies! Tom Oops terribly sorry it double posted the topic - would a mod be so kind as to remove the other one for me? I can't seem to find the option...my bad I clicked it twice as it looked like nothing was happening! Sorry!

hughythomas Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well it must have been a typo from me as I tried it again and it suddenly worked?! Really strange...anyhow that particular guide did not work out for me but I tried this one and it did (in fact I am posting from my PC booted into SL!): http://leeyuentuen.hostei.com/?p=662 So, if you have problems with the first guide I linked try this one as it worked much better for me!

westwaerts Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 you should better use these commands as an administrator, so just type "sudo" before the commands, you´ll be prompted for your password and thats it. and read a little terminal usage sites.
