Software Updater Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have the same problem, I get around it by going into the bios then closing it out then just pressing enter when you get to the first mac screen and for some reason it works. I have an AMD processor and it does that but it dosent do that on my intel. But my AMD also has a built in wireless card so I dont know what causes that.

chiefskittles Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I encountered this error with 2 different discs, and found a fix via a lucky accident. When your computers reading the dvd (when you see / that symbol spinning) hold down f8 for a while, i did it until my computer started beeping at me. For whatever reason i dont get the error when i do that. I tested it over 5 times, it works. Good luck, hope that helps.

Software Updater Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 When I say close out the bios I mean after the BIOS pop up hit escape and they close and just hit enter when the Darwin loader comes up and says press F8 for advanced startup options. What processor do you have by chance? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62306-comapplebootplist-error-help/#findComment-441593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, hope that helps. wow, all i can say is that has worked for me, after 4 hours of being all WTF at osx on my aspire 9300 laptop, i try this and it works. you have no idea how pissed i am that the fix is that simple, lol. thanks for sharing this, it DOES work. my laptop is an amd turion 64 x2 tl-52 processor at 1.6ghz and im using tubgirls new 10.4.10 test1 dvd, so im glad that i now know it isnt hardware related Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62306-comapplebootplist-error-help/#findComment-441804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian88 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hello folks! Just a question (especially to taylor): How did you make it to install osx on you aspire 9300? Did you install it on your internal s-ata hitachi hard disk or onto an external one? Could you please tell me your solution? Thank you very much Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62306-comapplebootplist-error-help/#findComment-1027815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
