wood_e Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ok here's the background info: eMachines T3612 Intel 945G chipset GMA 950 1.5GB RAM SATA recognized and working Now I installed with JaS 10.4.8 DVD with semthex 8.8.1 kernel I formatted my WD 120GB SATA HD to HFS+ journaized Install went fine but upon reboot it won't boot. I want this computer to be an OSX only machine so I don't need to dual boot. I assume I need a bootloader but which? How do I install it? Thanks!

Headrush69 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 What exactly happens when you boot? Flashing underscore? Loads kernel and stop? Anything?

wood_e Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 No bootable device found error Kind of like when you don't have a HD hooked up and no bootable drives. No loading of anything on the HD at all. Like I said... should it boot without a bootloader?

Headrush69 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Did you make sure when you partitioned the Volume you picked MBR in options and not Apple GUID which is the default?

wood_e Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I set the mac partition active using: Use osx86 dvd then boot, after a welcome screen Click 'Utility" menu then choose terminal, I Typed: mount -a (enter) fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 (enter) print (enter) f 1 (enter) quit reboot edit: I did not do the MBR selection - I checked around disk utility after booting with my DVD and partitioned the drive into 2 since it uses MBR - I had 1 GUID partition. Hopefully this will work.... reinstalling now Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/54097-osx-install-help-no-boot-after-install-fixed/#findComment-386574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
