coolcatco888 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've managed to enter the chameleon bootloader though window's bootloader (using the tboot method) and try to boot mac osx. When booting with -v it hangs on "Mac Framework Successfully initialized"it looks like this: http://i43.tinypic.com/2m5b0ol.jpg (hangs at exactly the last line)I have no idea what is causing it. Have looked at many posts but no definitive answer, one came close:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86298So I downloaded the AppleACPIPlatform.kext and replaced mine with it but it still does the same thing. Apparently this is a known and common issue with a fix that is so hard to find since so many questions here go unanswered.I'm using the XxX 10.5.6 installer because kalway will not boot:Homepage: http://xxx-install-disc.blogspot.com/2009/...61056-ppf3.htmlConfiguration Kexts: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4649/screenshot1a.jpgIve installed with the following configuration (Taken from my install log):Patches/Chameleon.pkgPatches/PCEFI_v9.0.pkgPatches/AppleDecrypt.pkgPatches/NullCPUPM.pkgPatches/SMBIOSEFI.pkgPatches/PS2Nub.pkgPatches/PS2Controller.pkgPatches/Kernel/Voodoo_1.0.pkgPatches/Kernel/10.5.5_System.pkgPatches/Kernel/10.5.5_seatbelt.pkgPatches/Chipset/AppleNForceATA.pkgPatches/Graphics/NV/NVinject.2.1.pkgPatches/Network/Tulip.pkgPatches/Others/BootPlist.pkgPatches/RollbackKexts/AppleACPIPlatform_5.5.pkgPatches/Misc/KextHelper.pkgPatches/Misc/EFIStudio.pkgPatches/Misc/macfusecore.pkgPatches/Misc/NTFS-3G.pkgPatches/Misc/OSX86Tools.pkgHas anyone had this problem before? I saw somewhere that it had something to do with the AppleACPIPlatform.kext but I don't know how to fix it. Attached are my hardware specs. Please look at them. I hope that I have provided any "would be helpers" with enough information.What sort of configuration should I use?Please help! I feel so close!!!- Thanks, HARDiNFO_Report.htm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207695-boot-hangs-afer-localhost-usrsbinocspd53-starting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcatco888 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ok, so I have gotten past that part by using "Old APCI" package (under customize) instead of one I listed previously. Now it hangs on "Still waiting on root device" I have googled this topic and it turns out it is most likely problem with ATA device controller. What I have been doing so far is trying to use the kexts that the actual install cd uses to boot up. It is very difficult to do this since the "-v" boot flag gives little to no clue as to what kexts are used and it is very painful trial and error (my install takes one hour each time). I would like to just copy the kexts that the installer uses to boot but I have no idea where to find them. The Extensions folder does not exist /System/Library/ (when I use the terminal in the installer) I have looked here: http://code.google.com/p/darwin-ata/downloads/list Ok, for those of you who actually know anything about installs I hope I have made it painfully simple for you to help me. If I am not mistaken all I need to do is install with the correct .kext driver for my ATA Controller. From the link above, .kext should I use for an "Intel® 82801BA Ultra ATA Storage Controller - 244B"? If you need any other info about my hardware specs there are attached in my previous post. I found it hard to get any concrete answer since googling this problem only shows more posts like mine with no solutions. On another note when I look at the boot output of the installer disc I noticed the word "AppleIntelPIIXPATA" after the part where my harddrive boot would normally freeze. What .kext is this from? - Thanks, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207695-boot-hangs-afer-localhost-usrsbinocspd53-starting/#findComment-1388139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcatco888 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Ok so with no help from anyone else I managed to figure out that when configuring my install I should use: - New ICXx (ICH 10) - for my chipset support - Old APIC/ACPI kexts - for my ACPI support However it hangs in a different part: localhost /usr/sbin/ocspd[53]: starting Someone else has this problem too: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85542 Could anyone lend a helping hand? I don't know this stuff... - Thanks, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/207695-boot-hangs-afer-localhost-usrsbinocspd53-starting/#findComment-1388225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcatco888 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ok guy's I have no idea why nobody actually responds to this. Simple question, If you know please reply!!! I know you can do this... c'mon... please.... I think this problem is related to the fact that after installing this several times over, I did not select a video card kext. Ok, Now what kext should I use for NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200 (Microsoft Corporation)? Selections are: a. NVInject b. NVKush c. NVDarwin I don't know the versions but please help, seriously please... advice anything... and yes, I did google this before asking.

coolcatco888 Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 post in nvidia section, obviously! Ok done, hope it gets approved otherwise I got no other options. Also, is that the cause of it or is it something else? I have a feeling but I am not 100% sure, thanks.
