Sword7 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Hello folks, I recently installed Mac OS X system into my ASUS G2S laptop with external hard drive by using Empire EFI v1.085 disc successfully. I tried to install myHack 1.0 but unable boot it directly. I was only boot Mac OS X system through Empire EFI disc. My external hard drive was plugged into eSATA port, not USB port. With -v -x option, it showed that it still was waiting for root device forever. It only made through with Empire EFI disc. I found myHack 1.1 and installed it. It still resulted the same. Does anyone know any solution for direct boot from hard drive? System configs: ASUS G2S Laptop w/external hard drive on eSATA port Mac OS X 10.6 SL disc with 10.6.5 updated. Empire EFI v1.085 Thanks!

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Your Empire EFI boot CD has a driver on it that makes your eSATA port work. You need to identify that driver, pull it from the CD and install it on your HD. Google "how to make a Chameleon boot CD", reading about how to make a boot CD will teach you how to take one apart so that you can find the files you need.
