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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21893-mach_kernel-method-messed-it-up-more/ 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21893-mach_kernel-method-messed-it-up-more/#findComment-144861 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21893-mach_kernel-method-messed-it-up-more/#findComment-144877 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?

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.
