Losing my mind on post install

[FLX]

So I completed my SL retail install with the 10.6.4 combo update and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] I get the following:

 

Full error:

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out

• smbios.plist > Mac Pro > Core i5
  

 

The hardware is a Asus P7P55D (latest BIOS) and an Intel Core i5 CPU with 4GB of RAM.

 

The weird thing is that it does boot to desktop when I use tonymacx86-P55BootCD-ASUS! However, when I boot it via HDD I get this error. So it has to do something with dependencies missing on my HDD in regards to tonymacx86-P55BootCD-ASUS. Does somebody has any idea how I can find out that difference?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Dennis

Try installing chameleon boot loader.

[FLX]

Thats automatically installed with EasyBuild, which provides Chameleon RC4

[J.B]

maybe try deleting nullCPUpowermanagment and boot?

I tried this but it didn't fix it unfortunately.

The weird this is that it does boot from CD but not from HDD, which means there is an inconsistency somewhere.

Is there any way of tracking this down?

 

Thanks,

It appears that I'm getting closer to the root of the problem. I took some pictures with my DSLR of the booting process with Chameleon via tonymacx86-P55BootCD-ASUS and Chameleon via HDD.

 

Chameleon via tonymacx86-P55BootCD-ASUS:

 

Chameleon via HDD

 

As you can see it loads a lot less via HDD. Something that jumps in my eye is that tonymacx86-P55BootCD-ASUS loads a DSDT.aml and a smbios.plist and the HDD seems to do not.

 

How can I extract the DSDT.aml and smbios.plist from tonymacx86-P55BootCD-ASUS to use on my HDD?

 

Thanks,
