sbohan Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I succesfully installed Mac OSx86 on my PC.. or so I thought I had. I have the HFS Partition problem but that is defeatable by using rd=disk0s2 so thats not a big problem what is though is that for some reason I have this error when the machine begins to boot! Can anyone recognise this? Regards Shaun. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23550-what-does-this-error-mean/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 During the installation, right before clicking the "Install" button, you needed to click on the "Customize" button and choose updated packages for your computer. Did you do that? For your hfs+ partition error, I am assuming you are going to be resinstalling. As part of the reinstall, when you boot your install DVD, and after you erase the partition in Disk Utility, then fire up Terminal (under the Utilities menu also) and type the following command: sudo fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23550-what-does-this-error-mean/#findComment-156317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbohan Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 sudo fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0 Wouldn't that overwrite the primary partition though? I have a WinXP Installation on the Primary Partition so I would like to try and keep that...

Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I think you are right. Forget that. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23550-what-does-this-error-mean/#findComment-156349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbohan Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 You were however correct about the patches part of things. Silly me I now have another error where by for some reason the scrolling texts appears as darwin boots yet the text dissapears and then the system reboots I'm determined to get this working...

Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 You may need to replace your mach_kernel. First, boot your install DVD and on the first screen go to the Utilites menu and select Terminal. Let's say your OSX partition is called "OSX Disk" (use your real OSX name below) Type: sudo mv "/Volumes/OSX Disk/mach_kernel" "/Volumes/OSX Disk/mach_kernel.old" Enter your password when requested. We used quotes because of the space in the partition name. Type: sudo cp /mach_kernel "/Volumes/OSX Disk/" Remove the DVD and reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23550-what-does-this-error-mean/#findComment-156415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
