Robert Matthews Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I've been using a chameleon OSX boot for about a year (ever since I ditched an Efi-X dongle). I boot the efi bios off of a USB stick that has chameleon on it, then boot from a sata drive. It's been working great...except I had intermittent pauses (which I think was due to a HD). I noticed that one of my drives had a bios update from Seagate, so I booted from a seagate update iso and patched the bios on the drive (which also happened to be my main boot drive). When I tried to boot again I just got the white mac screen with the spinning dial. I thought that maybe the data on the drive had a problem so I booted into the 'install' portion of the USB stick, formatted the drive, and then used TimeMachine to restore the data. Still have the same problem. I thought I'd update my memory stick (using the RC5 install from tonymacx86.blogspot.com and this: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/life...ow_Leopard.zip) The boot drive looks great now...but I still get the same result. When I boot with -v I see this as the last error: Sound assertion "0 == fMikeyDriver" failed in .../AppleHDADriver.cpp followed by a bunch of similar errors. Any ideas? I really need to get this back up and running ASAP... I have a GB ep45-udep motherboard with a core2 quad cpu, 8g memory. --Robert Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/252237-help-with-booting-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
