unable to boot the hackintosh partition

[rafatocandocielo]

Houston, I have a problem

 

I have installed the iPC osX86 into my hp500 and it worked fine, but just when I booted with the installation DVD in the drive.

 

When the DVD wasn't in It just gave an error and was unable to boot.

 

In order to use my other 2 O.S. I used the boot recovery tool for linux, so now I can use the computer, and I can see an option in the boot menu for Mac 32 bits, but it just shows a few lines of text and stops booting.

 

I don't know how to resolve it, and after recovering the boot I cannot boot Hackintosh, not even with the DVD in (if the DVD is in and I hit a key, then reinstallation starts, and if not then i get the error messege).

 

The CPU is Centrino Dual Core 1400 mhz

The drive partition format is MacOS Extended (case sensitive - journaled) HFS+

The drive is called ALAYA

 

Tell me if I can give you any further information revelevant to help me.

hello

 

my advice is the must easy way

 

GUID partition

 

mac os x first partition + chameleon

 

linux second partition, grub must be in that partition , where linux is installed

 

and the chameleon to the rest for you

 

 

good hack

boot linux and type in terminal

sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg

 

then edit the line for 32 bit with this

menuentry "Mac OS X" {
insmod hfsplus
set root=(hd0,2)
chainloader +1
}

[b]Hi Latin McG,

I included the "chainloader +1" in the boot file, now the 32 bits line looks like this: [/b]

}

menuentry "Mac OS X (32-bit) (on /dev/sda3)" --class osx --class darwin --class os {

insmod part_msdos

insmod hfsplus

set root='(hd0,msdos3)'

chainloader +1

[b]then I can only reboot.[/b]

Here is a copy of the last post I wrote (as I'm new in this forum I wasn't able to find my own previous post!)

 

Firstly the computer only could boot with the installation DVD in, otherwise it gave an error messege (that now is not giving). I used the boot repair tool for linux and it corectlly repaired my multi OS boot menu, so I can start with Vista and Ubuntu normally, and with Mac with the DVD in (its not starting the installation, it just uses the boot program in the DVD, then I wait 8 seconds until the "press any key to start from CD/DVD" line disappears, and it starts Mac). But when I directly select the Mac OS 32 bits from the multi OS boot menu, it shows some lines of text and halts (frozen, unable to do anything but force shutdown).

 

About the wifi, my hp550 is not using the broadcom bcm4312 (that comes normally in most hp550), but the intel 4965 AG (the driver is included in the installation pack, but when I install it, is used only as a cable ethernet, not as a wireless lan for airport).

 

If someone could help me to resolve those issues my "Mac" would be working at 100%. I also appreciate suggestions on programs to boot multiple OS (the windows boot menu, that comes after the ubuntu main boot menu, is messy with useless options and it stars the chkdisk every boot).

when I installed the MacOS I didn't know that GUID partitions where better, I don't know how to give that format to a partition, I just found the disks tool in the installation menu, and gave a format to my 3rd and last primary partition in a format recommended by the Mac OS installation guide for hp550 (it said hfs+, but not the case sensitive, that maybe my mistake). If possible I prefer not to reinstal, but I'll do it if necessary.

3945 is a halfway fixed driver.. not fully working .. remove bios whitelist and install used wireless AR5B91

 

try this

menuentry "Mac OS X (32-bit) (on /dev/sda3)" {
insmod hfsplus
set root='(hd0,3)'
chainloader +1
}

I got a nice:

 

boot1: error

 

jajaja, what to do...

change the 0,3 to 0,2 (likely needs to point to hidden efi)

 

if your using guid and mbr on same disk (hybrid), its out of my hands.. i never do it that way cause i use separate hard disks to prevent issues like boot1: error

Thanks Latin McG for keep helping me, now it's fixed, I used a tool called EasyBCD and now I can boot well the 3 OS. About the wifi, I don't know if there is hope because my Mac OS is version 10.5 and by what I have read in the forum the options you told me would only work on 10.6. Maybe getting a different wifi card, or an usb one? or just praying for someone to fix the kexts for an old card in an old system (rare). But I really apreciate your interest and knowledge, and sharing it with the newies.

 

If there are no options, just...bye! take care

[LatinMcG]

bcm94321mc works in 10.5 i have bcm94321mcp from hp and rebranded it subvendor 106b (apple) subsystem 8D for revision of card being older bcm94321 8E works too i heard.)

 

yah easybcd is finally working properly for us. 1.8 wasnt working properly..
