JohnSmith41 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, I (sorta) got the Mac Installation working, but new problem. I see no option for RAID or AHCI in BIOS, and Mac doesn't show my 80GB or my 500GB drives... Can someone help me? I still need to run the server software on a Mac when nobody around here has a Mac... Edit: I tried putting my 80GB in a harddrive reader, and it installed fine, but won't boot...

JohnSmith41 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I am not using ML, but SL. I used "-x -v -f GraphicsEnabler = yes" to boot into setup, but from there, I can't see any options for my internal harddrives. I can install to the usb HD, but Chameleon does not show the USB drive, or throws "/mach_kernel not found".

JohnSmith41 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 hello probably u are using ide hd ? that is a old machine if so must find a proper kext for that controller.. good hack I have no idea what IDE controller I am using, nor where to get the controller... Hello. Ok, but i wanna trainning my little english. You don't speak english? This is impossible, inside the imagem has mach_kernel... But about HD... try boot without -x Oh ok, I thought it would be easier for you to speak your own language, but I do speak English, I could use Google Translate... The mach_kernel error was when trying to use a Chameleon Boot flash drive and a 80GB HD in a USB hard drive adapter, it's fixed by installing Chameleon to the drive itself.
