ramzi22 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 So i used to have OSX on my laptop on hda4... And i decided i wanted to format and reisntall cause i messed up some patches (i applied SSE3->SEE2 patches when my CPU supported SSE) in linux i did cfdisk /dev/hda and deleted hda4 and made a new partition same size (~9gb) primary and of type AF. I then dd'd hte image over with bs=512 and skip=63 and waited for it to complete, just like i did previously. Since i already had lilo configued (other = /dev/hda4) i just rebooted and select MacOSX from my bootloader. Darwin loaded up. When i selected hd(0,4) TigerOSX it just loaded Darwin back up, so i tryed booting with -x -v -s and -F but all result in Darwin just getting reloaded. I then noticed there were two kernels, mach_kernel and mach_kernel.old So i tryed boot:mach_kernel bot that still brought me back to darwin loader, so then i tryed boot: mach_kernel.old -x and it hung, so i did mach_kernel.old -v and it said "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" and "Failed to load exension com.apple.driver.AppleI386PCI" and "Couldn't alloc class "AplleI386PCI"". So then i tryed boot: mach_kernel.old platform=X86PC -v and it just said "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.AppleI386PCI." and "Couldnt alloc class "AppleI386PCI"" It worked before, what should i do?

macgirl Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 How do you notice notice about the two kernels if you can't boot? If you can copy things with Linux to your HFS partition copy the right Kernel and the extensions that failed.

ramzi22 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't know if i can write, ill check but i knew there were two kernels by mounting my hfs+ partition, also i used the deadmoo's image so i dont know how i can just send over the correct kernal and extension... Thanks ill check if i can write and post back.

ramzi22 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah i just checked and i dont have write access to the HFS+ Partition, it says its a read-only filesystem, i even tryed mouting with "mount -t hfsplus -rw /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4" and it still wont let me write.

ramzi22 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 Haha i found the culprit my tiger-x86-flat.img was 2gb too small, it didnt completely extract... ill extract, format partition, and dd again and hopefully it will work!
