Memory Allocation Error

[PoollooP]

I've had this problem since i built my Mac. I get the error when my External USB Hardrive is plugged in on startup/reboot,

 

I know how to get around it as well but can anyone help me with a permanent fix. The full error is

 

 

" memory allocation error! Addr=0xdeadbeef, size=0x0, File=hfs.c, Line=732

 

This is a non recoverable error! System HALTED!!! "

 

 

 

There are 2 ways for me to get around this error.

 

1) Disable USB Legacy in Bios ( But I can't use my Keyboard or Mouse then when I boot into Chameleon)

2) Unplug My External Harddrive on Boot and attach when logged into Snow Leopard.

 

This is my first Hackintosh and this is the only problem I've got with my setup, everything else works great thanks to the help from others on this forum.

 

I've seen the Deadbeef error on many other forums but none really offer a fix , they're just workarounds like unplug your device on boot.

I experience this with Chameleon RC4 and PC-EFI 10.6. However it works with PC-EFI 10.x I guess x is 1. But this one is so old that many features are missing.

 

Is there a better fix than disabling USB Legacy?

 

 

Btw. The problem occurs because the USB drive has more than one partition! GUID or MBR doesn’t matter.
