rkwok Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 first thing, you should list the components of your computer, otherwise no one would be able to begin the trouble shooting for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkwok Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Which version of OSX are you using, I use Jas 10.4.6, 10.4.8, Uphuck 1.2 and 1.4, all with very good result. But I did encounter the same error as you when using Uphuck 1.3. Do you have another version you can try? or burn another copy with slower speed. Also make sure you choose the right patches for your system: Intel Patch SSE3 kernel GMA900 and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
360freak Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I didnt know the speed affected anything, I always do it as fast as possible. Im using JaS 10.4.8. I'll try just using those patches and update you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 First thing you need to do is only select one kernal to instal. You have both Semthex and Mifki selected. Just choose Semthex then try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
360freak Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 It worked with just Semthex! But now when I try to boot from GRUB, it says "Invalid or unsupported executable format" Is that a GRUB problem or what? I could try the darwin bootloader but i dont know how. How do I switch it to that? I'm not sure what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac-fish Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 i think it isnt but grub is not prepared for booting a system which it doesnt know... maybe thats the problem... u should try it using this entry which needs to be added to/boot/grub.menu.lst (thats the standard way grub uses for os like XP and vista title OSX86 root (hd0,your partiton) (of course replace your partition with your osx partition savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
360freak Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I know, I already have done that. title Mac OSx86 root (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 the ubuntu partition has this though: title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic root (hd1,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=13a710b2-c888-46a8-a9a2-79335a75e691 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic quiet savedefault do i need to do anything with listing the kernel and stuff?
