Chrono86 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hey guys Gotta be brief cause I need to go to work. Anyways I installed 10.4.6 on my AMD64 2800 system. Was getting the kernel compage error thingy during startup so I booted the dvd and ran the cp mach_kernel command in the terminal (copied just fine) Now when I get to the darwin bootloader and select the partition apple was installed in (just 1 partition available, it's using my whole disk) the screen flashes really quick and brings me back to the darwin boot loader again... Any ideas? Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono86 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 So NOBODY has had this problem? *EDIT* When the screen flashes really fast when I choose the partition in the Darwin boot loader I can kind of make out the last line that flashes by...I think it says Mach-0 file has bad magic number Am I reading that right? I have no idea what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opticledilusi0n Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 It's corruption of a superblock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono86 Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 It's corruption of a superblock Which means?... Anyways I formatted the drive and reinstalled Mac OSX, this time only ticking the amd related patches. Again I get the same commpage error, I boot the dvd and perform the copy, and when I reboot I still get the same error... What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireshark Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 a superblock iirc is the partition boot record, like the MBR, only for each partition - the first block of a partition, the ine the MBR hands off execution to when you boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
