ludodivx Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hi, first of all, please excuse my english I'm posting here because this OSX86 installation is driving me crazy... Tried for about 3 months, with different dvds and couldn't install. Then, finally, changed my pc and got OSX86 Jas 10.4.8 Patched to install, but after install, reboot problem. I reboot manually, but after the PCI listing, my OSX won't boot, it stays with a - appearing and disappearing. If I try booting with the dvd then doing nothing at prompt, I got the line “System config file ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist’ not found” My S.M.A.R.T is disabled, and I only have an IDE HDD master and a DVD-ROM player slave. So I really don't get what the problem is. I even tried to put the hdd into a USB box to plug it in on my Macbook, and the com.apple.boot.plist IS on the harddrive. That's really weird. And finally (to add the more informations possible), my partition is a primary one. If someone can help, thanks a lot Because my macbook really made me want to install OSX on my pc too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludodivx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thank you for answering... I'm starting now a new install then... But the only thing I did not do is uncheck "most common hardware" and "printers"... For the rest I did exactly the same as your screens I'll try again, maybe... And I get back to you Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludodivx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Ok, just did it. Installed in english, recreated the partition with disc utility, installed only the amd patch, but same problem. After reboot, I get the pci listing as usual, then nothing... The HDD seems to be working but no error message on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludodivx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hum. New on my case lol. When I boot with only hard drive plugged, I get a disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter error... I'll look in the forum about this error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludodivx Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hum, I'm trying to, but when I create another partition then install on one of them, installation fails... Weird. Had the same problem ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevoiceover Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 If I try booting with the dvd then doing nothing at prompt, I got the line “System config file ‘/com.apple.Boot.plist’ not found” I had this problem and it turns out (after testing about 5 different SATA drives) that is was the hard drive itself.. OSX would detect it and install on it, but not boot it. After I found a drive it would boot on though, I added the drive it wouldn't boot as a secondary and it worked fine. Thx, TVO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
