[Rhynri]

Asus P5B -- All drives removed or disabled except the mac install drive

 

WD200gb SATA on JMicron Controller.

JMicron Listed as "Working"

 

Install works great, see's disk.

 

On reboot i get said error.

 

Any details needed, just post... I'm open to any possible solution.

haha, I never did find a solution for that error, then again, mine happened at the DVD/ install part. try using your dvd to boot from. like insert it and then press F8 when asked and highlight your mac drive. Thats about all i can think will help.

Thanks for the input, i'll see if can find another solution.  I'm having a friend put on Gentoo for me, so if there is a solution using grub, i'm all ears.

Is it possible that the mac bootloader isn't seeing my OSX partition?

Same problem for me, the most weird is that i have installed it thru vmware and no probs (using the iso mounted) but the burning dvd wont boot, same message error...

When this happens, it is usually (I've found) due to the wrong partition or drive being active. If you have multiple partitions (dual boot system, etc.) try this:

 

1) Use the terminal supplied on the OSX boot disk

2) Type:

diskutil list

which will display all your partitions. Find the partition that has your OSX install.

3) Type:

fdisk -e /dev/disk# (this is from the disk#s# you found in the step above with your OSX partition)

. This gets you ready to set the proper partition active.

4) At the fdisk prompt, type:

fdisk> p<enter>

to again ensure you have the right disk. This will list the partitions on the disk# you entered). Note the number of the partition (s#) that has your OSX install.

5) Now that you are sure of having the right disk, type:

fdisk> f #<enter> (number is the partition # with your OSX install on it - disk#[b]s#[/b])

.

6) When prompted, hit 'y'.

7) Quit fdisk:

fdisk> quit <enter>

.

8) Type "reboot" at the prompt and enjoy.

 

After the reboot, you should be able to boot into the Darwin bootloader . If this doesn't fix it, write back and we can go from there. I've had this problem before when mucking around with installs and settings and solved it as stated.
