cannon_dt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 @dkechoi I am lost. My install distro is Fuduntu. I am attaching a screen shot of gparted I really do not get what you are asking me to do. Do you want me to create another virtual box machine with 10.8.2? I do have its InstallEsd.dmg Can you please be a bit more explicit?

sabag123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Add your card's IDs to AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext and ATI6000Controller.kext repair permissions and reboot. How I can do it? With plist editor? After il'l do that I will be able to choose resolution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 How I can do it? With plist editor? After il'l do that I will be able to choose resolution ? Yes you can use plist editor, I personally use Text Wrangler. Add the IDs under IOPCIMatch. For AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext you will need to know what filmily your card is. eg Cedar.

Shaneee Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 You should be able to install Chameleon and boot from there. I have two HDDs. One for OS X and one for Windows with the OS X drive being the primary boot drive with Chameleon to make booting easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All others are logical partition. I used exFat file system to communicat between oSes (linux, windows and OSX). This MBR disk setup with grub2. In this setup, I can not install a Windows because no more available primary partition. The OSX was installed through Virtualbox and can be booted through grub2. So, if you give me a right information, we could have the same system as mine. That is what you want, right? Let's make clear and forget about things what I asked. Just one information I need is Where do you have your OSX 10.8.2 install file? Inside VB virtual disk or in your linux hode directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabag123 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Add your card's IDs to AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext and ATI6000Controller.kext repair permissions and reboot. what do you mean by repair permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkechoi Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 @cannon_dt By the way, if you want to find your disk setup, Go to View/Device Information, then you see it. If it says msdos, it is MBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannon_dt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 @dkechoi Yeah, lets start clear. That is pretty much what I want - install os x 10.8.2 onto a partition and use grub 2 to get into whichever OS I want to. I got no interest in windows. I have the installesd.dmg in both - I set up a local web server kind of thingie (using lighttpd) and I use that to get stuff off of linux into my virtual box machine having os x Do you need any other information from me?

Gotcha it is mbr That's good. I think you need a lot of works to setup a system; OSX partiotion should be sda3 and move your home parttition(sda3) to a logical partition (it could be sda5). But, meanwhile, forget it right now. What is the name of your OSX install distro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannon_dt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ok, you are scaring me now, I am not too good with partitioning ML 10.8.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkechoi Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ok, you are scaring me now, I am not too good with partitioning ML 10.8.2 Do nor worry. It is not difficult, only takes a lot of time to move partitions. But, we don not need it right now. Let's setup a virtual ML disk. To do that I want to know the name of OSX install media like iaATKS 10.8.2 or a retail InstallESD.dmg. The procedure is different depending on your install media.

cannon_dt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Its a retail InstallESD.dmg (I picked it off a torrent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkechoi Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Its a retail InstallESD.dmg (I picked it off a torrent) Then, you need two steps. 1. make an install disk. 2. install it. So, go to Virtualbox setup of your SL machine. Go to Storage, add nee two SATA disk to SL virtual machine It will be good idea one is 12GB, the other one 25GB. Boot into SL. You need to make visible hidden files in SL. If not, get a Show/Hide app and make hidden files visible. Once done, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannon_dt Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Go to Storage, add nee two SATA disk to SL virtual machine I do not know what you mean here? I initially made a USB installer but I do not have any sata disks. All I have is my 500 GB HDD and one 8GB USB stick. Can you please elaborate?

dkechoi Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I do not know what you mean here? I initially made a SUB installer but I do not have any sata disks. All I have is my 500 GB HDD and one 8GB USB stick. Can you please elaborate? No. I meant virtual disk inside your SL Viortual Machine. So, start vitualbox. choose SL, click setting, then you see all settings. Click "Storage" tab, you see two tabs; "controller IDE" and "Controller SATA".. Choose "Controller SATA", you see two "+" icons, first one is for CD, second one is disk. So, click second "+ icon. then choose "create new disk", click "Next" until seeing "File location and size" Put the name of disk and size is 18GB. Then click "create" icon. New disk will be attatched to you machine. Repeat it to add the second one with size of 25GB. After this, you will see 3 SATA disks. Save it. Boot into SL. In SL, you will be asked "Initialize disk", just ignore it. Make hidden files visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
