tylre212 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 My problem is that if I have a USB device such as an external hard drive or a printer plugged in when I boot, it will not boot. If anyone could help, that would be great. My specs are: 10.5.8 with Qoopz 9.8.0 kernel Biostar TA790GXB Motherboard EVGA Geforce 9800GTX+ AMD Phenom II X4 940 Processor SATA Hard Drive and Disk Drive If anyone could help, that would be great.

Beerkex'd Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It sounds like it could be a motherboard BIOS issue. Check if the boot device order in your BIOS changes by itself when your USB drive is connected. /EDIT wait.. are you saying that you cannot boot with any kind of USB device connected? Try disabling legacy USB support and see if that fixes it. If that helps, then (assuming you're using Chameleon 2.0 or derivative) try adding USBBusFix = yes to /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist. Then enable legacy USB support again. If you're not using Chameleon 2.0 you can read here how to manually install and set up the latest version: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=209712 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks1 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I have the oposite problem in that I can boot to Snow Lepoard from a USB containing NBI_083F but get KP when I try to boot from Chameleon without the USB. I have tried RC1 through 4 and have also tried manually loading the elements of Chameleon (loading only the but I keep getting a KP (Version Mis-match with CPU) at boot. Again I have no problems booting from the USB containing the NBI-083F image. My system is a netbook Gigibyte T1028X with Atom Processor N280 1.66GHz with 1 GB ram and 945GSE Express Chipset+ ICH7M for graphics. I successfully installed vanilla 10.6.0 and everything works except my webcam. Here is my KP screen. Any ideas for help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a screenshot of my KP.
