anotheropaygo Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I just successfully installed iPC 10.5.6 on my eMachines t5086 with internet, sound, and video all fully working. And also a working grub happily booting my hackintosh. But when it boots, I get a ugly text boot splash. Searching the forums tell me to remove -v from the kernel flags in the com.apple.Boot.plist. But in my boot.plist (screenshot below,) the kernel flag in empty. Is there anyway to fix this text boot?

derekreid Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Not sure what to tell you then. Maybe try copying the flag-less boot.plist into the Extra folder, and repair permissions.

anotheropaygo Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 That didn't work either, but it's not that important. I just glad my hackintosh works 100%. Thanks for your help derekreid.

Lord_Jeremy Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Guessing you're not using Chameleon 2 then? I think some of the other bootloaders might use verbose mode by default. Dunno.

anotheropaygo Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yeah, your are right. I am using GURB because that was the only boot loader working for me. Maybe I can search how to edit Grub's boot and turn off verbose. But that's a little risky. and I happy with my ugly but bootable Grub.

anotheropaygo Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Solved, GRUB 2 can only boot in verbose and ignores the com.apple.boot.plist So as a work-around I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and old version that has GRUB1 and that boots perfectly by adding this to the menu.lst file in /boot/grub/menu.lst title Mac OS X rootnovertify (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 Change the (hd0,0) to the number of the partition that osx86 is installed on. And the title can be anything you want e.g. Hackintosh Hope this helps others who have problems boot from Grub 1.
