dcai777 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I want to seek out your advice because you first put me on to clover and so you would probably know more about this issue than I do. I installed clover to a USB through bootdisk utility. I restored my .dmg to a separate USB through transmac. However, when I boot off my clover USB, clover can see my Windows and Ubuntu operating systems, but it cannot see the USB with my restored .dmg as a bootable option. Is there any advice or any way you would know to go about solving this problem? I feel like I'm so close! Update! Tried using chameleon and the error was 'no kernal cache file ' /system/library/caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/.87061851' found can't find /mach_kernal whats that mean?? can you see a file called mach_kernel on your drive w/ OS X?

dbraun31 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 can you see a file called mach_kernel on your drive w/ OS X? check it out so I realized I wasn't using the InstallESD.dmg file I was using the overall 10.8.5.dmg file. From what I've read I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use the InstallESD.dmg. So I restored that image to a USB and tried again. Still can't see it in Clover and I tried running it in Chameleon, this time no mach_kernal problem, but after I select to boot from the OSX install USB, a large string of code flashes by the screen as if its loading, then the system suddenly reboots! I tried running in safe mode and verbose mode and ignore cache mode but all of them have the same result of just rebooting my system... frustrated.

dbraun31 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 try burning a diffrent version of charmelon... Yea thats an issue also I did it through Bootdisk utility. I don't currently have access to a Mac. Do you know any other way to burn chameleon from PC. I've tried exhaustively to get VMs to work with no success.You think getting a different version of chameleon could be a solution here?
