Guest nana Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 So I follow these instructions... everything is going well.... when I boot up the laptop... it won't start osx. I tried the "-V" command to see what was going on... and here is what it said: Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.122 511MB memory VESA v2.0 31MB (ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000) Loading HFS+ file: [/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.lre.Boot.plist] from 4220210. Loading HFS+ file: [/Library/Prefrences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist] from 4220210. Reading configuration file '/Library/Prefrences/SystemConfigruation/com.apple.Boot.plist'. Error parsing plist fileLoading Darwin/x86 Loading kernel mach_kernel Loading HFS+ file [mach_kernel] from 4220210. As you see... THere is the error: Error parsing plist fileLoading Darwin/x86 This is a Dell Latitude D600 Pentium M 1.6 GHz (SSE2) Any help would be GREAT!

Guest nana Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 UPDATE: It looks like the problem might have been caused by NOT useing the latest version of WinRAR. (My image file was only 2 GB!) I'm going to try to extract it again with the latest version. We will see how it turnes out!

teirh Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 This happened to me when I tried to boot with only 64MB of RAM. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/225-error-parsing-plist-fileloading-darwinx86/#findComment-1698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nana Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I have 512 MB or ram... so thats not the problem. Are you SURE 3.5 won't work? I extracted the file and I get 5.99 GB image. So it looks like it will work. I'll copy the image to my laptop HD and find out!

igutekunst Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I was getting that error for a long time. As it turns out, i was using an extraction program that was corrupting the file. I used the latest WinRar to un-bz2 it, and theb used 7zip to un-tar it after that, "tiger-x86-flat.img" was 6 Gigabytes. Hope this helps.
