thinkman Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hello, i'm trying to install snow leo on my x201 from lenovo. I tried it with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and empire EFI, but if i boot the snow leo 10.6.3 dvd i see an silver apple on the screen and then it stops. Can you help me ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253558-installation-freezing-at-the-apple-logo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Try hackboot, nawcom's boot CD or whatever else is out there. Use a CD-RW when experimenting with boot CDs. When troubleshooting, always boot with -v so you can see what's going on. Please understand that a "silver apple on the screen" is not useful for diagnostic purposes. People with working systems see an apple on their screen as well.

thinkman Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 So I tried option -v in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and it looks so: the acpi tables cannot be found then the screen turns into black Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253558-installation-freezing-at-the-apple-logo/#findComment-1662775 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 acpi tables cannot be found That's not an error message, the Chameleon boot loader looks for these files in /Extra and loads them automatically if they are there - but a boot CD will never contain ACPI table dumps as they are unique for each system and that's why you're seeing that message. If needed, you'll dump your ACPI tables and place them in /Extra yourself, once you're done installing. As I said, try other boot CDs.

Gringo Vermelho Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 It would be helpful to other Lenovo X201 users if you could post which boot CD worked for you.
