Can't boot without Pirate EFI X CD

[haeroy]

Hi,

 

I've got a problem with my fresh install of Snow Leopard on my computer (P5KPL-AM EPU motherboard) :

I can't boot on it without the CD (Pirate EFI X) I used to boot the installation on an original DVD of Snow Leopard.

I've Chameleon installed on my computer and I'm looking for a way to make it boot correctly : but I don't know how.

If I boot with the CD there is no problem with Mac OS, but if I boot with Chameleon instaled on my computer, the apple freeze and I got a message that tell me to reboot my computer.

I make some search with google but I haven't found anything that can help me.

 

Bye.

 

PS : I'm french and I haven't a good level in english, please apoligize if i've made mistakes.

what are your hardware specs? maybe you should put that here before you ask for help...

Sorry, I forgot to put it :

So, my motherboard is a P5KPL-AM EPU with a Pentium Dual-Core at 2.6 GHz, my graphics card is a Nvidia 450 GTS; and I've 2x2Gb DDR2 Kingstone.

The system is installed on a G.Skill SSD and I've got a Data HDD (Hitachi 250 Gb).

DSDT and folder "Extra"

use P5KPL AM

I've done what you said, put the DSDT.aml file in Extra Folder and It still don't boot :

Here there is my com.apple.Boot.plist and my smbios.plist

Lizard recognize my Chameleon.

UUID on those files are both mine.

hello there! I have exactly the same board as yours and Snow Leopard v10.6.6 is working fine on my system. I think for this case you need to delete the Sleepenabler.kext inside the Extra\Extension and use MaLd0n DSDT patcher and it works for me.

 

Good luck!

I've found the cause of the unability to boot from Hard Drive : I've plug my main Hard Drive on SATA1 and that works good

Thanks for your time

 

Have a nice day
