shadrock Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hello- I'm not stranger to installing OS X onto computers - I've done it many times on my previous computer. However, I have tried many many times to install OS X onto my new computer to no avail. Before I go any further.. here are some important specs. Intel DH55PJ Motherboard Intel i3 550 CPU EVGA nVidia GT 240 Graphics Card - Connected with a DVI cable Hitachi 500 GB Hard Drive 4 GB (2x2GB) Cosair DDR3 Ram So I'm using the iAtkos S3 V2 CD.. I insert the CD enter the proper boot flags (maxmem=2048 busratio=24 cpus=1) and I get to the installer just fine. After reformatting my hard drive partition, I continue with the installation and eventually it succeeds. However, when trying to boot into my newly installed Snow Leopard (I've tried all different boot flags), I am encountered with this error message Any suggestions or ideas will be GREATLY appreciated.

Gringo Vermelho Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Those messages are normal, they will appear when Chameleon doesn't find /Extra/DSDT.aml and /Extra/smbios.plist. Nothing to worry about, those files are useful, but not required. There is nothing wrong in that picture.

shadrock Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 So.. basically if I wait it out.. snow leopard will eventually boot? Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/245765-smbiosdsdt-not-found/#findComment-1631793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 No, it should continue booting without pausing there, unless you have wait=y in /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist you shouldn't even be seeing those messages. All I'm saying is that there is no way to tell what's wrong given the information you've provided. There is nothing wrong with anything in that picture.
