Hullo,

 

SO, I've just installed SL on my hack. I have 1 sata MBR! hdd with 2 partitions:

win7 and SL (it used to be leopard, but i've upgraded it to SL).

My main problem is that i was noob when i installed leopard and i've made MBR instead of GUID.

Now i have too much stuff on my HDD to format it to GUID.

 

So, i've made bootloader on other 1gb hdd, because i got pissed off that every time i

reinstall windows it messes up my mac bootloader. I put all necessary kexts, fakesmc, dsdt and etc. for

SL on that bootloader and tried it with leopard and it worked fine. SL retail install bootes from it fine too.

The only thing that i've changed on retail dvd is patched osinstaller.mpkg because otherwise i cant install it on MBR.

So i booted up the install, installed it on my leopard partition and restarted my pc.

And after bootloader i got KP, similar to this

I've tried putting ioatafamily.kext on my bootloader, but that didn't help at all.

 

Is there any way to get my hack working without messing up my data?

 

My specs:

Gigabyte GA-G31-S2L

intel e8400 3ghz

GF gts250 1gb

4gb ram

750gb sata hd

I don't think so, I also patched OSInstaller.mpkg to install to MBR partition.

 

Where did you put the dsdt.aml file? Try passing the argument "DSDT=/path/to/dsdt.aml" to Chameleon.

 

It's strange it didn't work, I used this patch in more than 5 PCs with this same KP and it solved in all of them.

It's not loader fault, I think it's a problem with IOATAFamily.

 

Try removing IOATAFamily from /Extra/Extensions and let it use the stock one.

 

I looked at the picture again and noticed some "no such file or directory" messages. Maybe there's some problem with the filesystem. Try booting with an installation DVD and use Disk Utility to repair the partition.
