spider00rr Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have a hp mini 210-1010 I can install snowleopard on it but I can't boot from the HD I am only able to boot from the USB Install drive and then select my HD when I am in the boot loader and it starts up fine and I get to the desktop. If I try to start up from the internal HD it tells me Loading Darwin 10.6 loading kernel mach_kernel loaded hfs+ file: [mach_kernel] 4096 bytes from 10237430. loaded hfs+ file: [mach_kernel] 5575273 bytes from 10237430 Patching kernel mach_kernel and it just stays there and does not go on or load I am doing that in -v and have tried -s -x. How do I get my hard drive to boot up like the usb drive ?

oldnapalm Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Install Chameleon to the HD just like you did with the USB drive. How did you install the bootloader to the HD?

spider00rr Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 I tried a few things I would install it from booting into the install usb drive and selecting netbook tools and install it there. Then I also followed the install's these guys did here. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=206397&st=0I have a loader on the HD when I turn the computer on I see the Chameleon loader . It was not a problem when I installed 10.5 on the computer, but if I put 10.6 on it does this.

oldnapalm Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I guess it's some problem with Chameleon installation. I would boot into the installed system using the USB drive and reinstall Chameleon manually from there.

spider00rr Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I just went on the Chameleon site and DL the netbook bootmaker 0.8.3 RC5 the latest one that said it worked on 10.6.2 and I re-did the usb boot drive with snow leopard on it. I then booted up with the usb drive and went into the installation for SL and selected netbook maker and install chameleon. it still will not boot up. ????? why do you think this is ?

oldnapalm Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 No idea, I never used this netbook bootmaker. I would boot into the installed system using the USB drive and install Chameleon manually http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=164809 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/211320-need-help-booting-from-hd-on-106/#findComment-1415831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabooN Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 This is somewhat related, as I am getting the exact same text that the OP had (ending with Patching kernel mach_kernel) The problem is I cannot even get into the installer to attempt an install. I am on an HP mini 210-1079CA netbook, I have setup the usb drive with the Snow Leopard image, and ran Netbookbootmaker and restored the OSinstall.pkg file as the tutorials say. I put the USB in the HP and boot, press F9, choose the USB drive. If I allow Darwin countdown, I get to a grey screen that does nothing. If I interrupt the countdown, I get a grey screen with the available drives, and the option to boot in verbose, single user, etc... I pick verbose and that is when I receive the mach_kernel message. Any ideas? I have followed the various guides with no luck of ever even getting into the installer. I have tried installing iAtkos v7 as well, but could not get into the installer either, which is discouraging, because it does not seem to be just something wrong with a single method. Any help appreciated. No idea, I never used this netbook bootmaker.
