HackM4T Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi...appear withthe following problem...After a long timeon thisfabulous world ofhackintoshinstall myfirst systemto achieve "iATKOS S3 V2" on my PC thathas the following FEATURES: -MotherASUSM4N68T-MLE (believe it ornot) -AM3PhenomIIX2550 Kingston2GBDDR3- WD500GBSATA2-HDD -LectograbadoraCD/ DVDIDE -P.V.9600GSO512MBPCI-E -Mouseand KeyboardPS/ 2 I install Snow Leopard(iATKOS S3 V2 ) without problems in a logical partition within the disk 20Gb MacOSX name(shown inthe attached image),and the only way I can boot this installation is from Chameleon brings the default iATKOS installation disk(by pressing f8)and using the flags -v cpus=2 busratio=16.If not boot with the DVD, I go directly to the partition with Windows 7 that IhaveI have as PRIMARY.I Probe a thousand of alternatives to boot(EasyBCD, ChameleonRC4, RC5,EFI_v8, Darwin)and I can not boot to the partition logic with Snow Leopard except using the comment form. I wanted to know if the problem I have is for the installation in a logical partition or the problem is that I'm skipping something and realize... From already thank you very much. Sorry my english!

MacFaulty Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yep, the problem is that operating systems cannot boot from logical partitions. I have the same issue, but kinda resolved by completely modifying my bootCD (replaced *.boot.plist, smbios.plist etc to optimize my laptop). I can help hou though by creating a custom bootcd which you can boot via the windows bootmanager with easybcd. Let me know if you're interested. Written on iPod. Sorry for any incorrect English.

srs5694 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Actually, it is possible to boot OSes from logical partitions -- Linux can be installed in this way, among others. The trouble is that you need a boot loader that supports that type of installation, and the Microsoft-style boot loaders can't handle it. My knowledge of Hackintosh boot loaders is limited, so I don't know what their precise capabilities are, but the last I checked, installing to a logical partition was discouraged. You might be able to get it to work by using GRUB 2, which includes support for booting OS X kernels; however, this support is primitive and flaky compared to typical Hackintosh boot loaders such as Chameleon. Another option might be to convert the partition from logical form to primary form. Not many partitioning tools can do this, but one that can is FixParts. There are probably other tools that can do this, but I'm not sure what they are.
