Installing from a real Mac

[norjms]

I installed Snow Leopard using an external hard drive connected to my MacBook. After the install via the OSInstall.mpkg. After I completed the install I patched the drive with 10.6.5 combo update. The PC I'm trying to install to requires the ATOM proc patch so, I replaced the mach_kernel with the modified version from teateam as follows:

 

1. Download zip to Desktop

2. Unzip by double click

3. Open Terminal.app

4. sudo -s

5. Enter your root password

6. cd /Volumes/OSX/ <-this is the mounted drive not the one from my macbook

7. mv mach_kernel mach_kernel_1065_vanilla

8. cp ~/Desktop/mach_kernel_atom /Volumes/OSX

9. chown 0:0 mach_kernel

 

Installed Chameleon RC5 to the mounted drive.

Next I reinstalled the drive in my hackintosh and tried to boot. I just got a blinking cursor. So, I tried to boot from my nawcom Mod CD and I saw alot of lines like this:

 

can't create kext cache under / - owner not root

I think it is caused by installing from another system but, I don't know how to fix it and the welcome screen comes up but, without keyboard or mouse I.E. USB isn't working. Is this a permissions issue and if so, how do I fix it? I had previously installed from a external CD drive and everything worked but, I ran into issues patching 10.6.5 atom support and had to wipe / reinstall. Any assistance going forward would be great.

 

My system is a Zotac Mag with 4 gb ram

I have replaced the wireless card with one that I know is OSX compatible. Thanks for the advice.

mach_kernel must be spelled exact so change it if your spelling is "mach_kernel_1065_vanilla". And use tonymac's muiltibeast to help your install and reinstall Chameleon also. If your not even seeing the Chameleon screen then your boot loader is not properly installed.

Myhack installer also very helpful.

Quite right the spelling is correct...I keep a vanilla copy of the kernel that isn't modified so, I can use it later if needed. Giving the other boot CD a shot
