ctran Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I can not boot without the uphuck 1.3 DVD in the dvd drive before boot. If i don't have it, it just stays at the black blinking cursor screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtab2006 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 This is in VMWAre I am guessing? This issue happens when the partition you have OS X installed on isn't set to the primary drive (first one it tries to boot off). If I am wrong someone reply. This issue from what I have seen in my own experience only happens on native installs... Perhaps I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elpendejo Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 can't boot without the dvd in??? it's seems so simple, but my knowlege is bad! spec: paviliondv6000/2partition/winXP on 1partition ntfs/ osx10.5 on 2nd partition/using aoss i followed one of the youtube instal video, it worked fine but i cannot boot on the osx unless i boot from the dvd... I need to findout how to make the 2nd partition appear into AOSS... so far it only shows winXP?!!?! i tried to set the 2 partition as bootable don't work! i change the active to the 2nd partion don't work. i even tried to uninstall AOSS still nothing.... what's that last step to boot without dvd???? btw when i change my 2nd partition to bootable (because i was trying to use AOSS to find my osx) it still says no OS found??? how come AOSS doesn;t know that i have a system on it? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesp Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 This is in VMWAre I am guessing? This issue happens when the partition you have OS X installed on isn't set to the primary drive (first one it tries to boot off). If I am wrong someone reply. This issue from what I have seen in my own experience only happens on native installs... Perhaps I am wrong. I am having the same problem with a native install on 2nd drive (disk 1)- installation went ok, but I can only boot with the dvd in, otherwise i get _$ and a blinking cursor. I have made that drive the primary boot drive and even made it the master, but that doesn't change anything. Even when I boot to osx, the drive appears on my desktop and in drive utilities, but NOT in startup disk. I booted with -v and I get this error during boot localhost diskarbitrationd[33]: unable to mount /dev/disk1s1 (status code 0x00000047) I saw in another topic to use the script.sh to make the drive bootable. I don't have that script on my harddrive or my dvd when i used the rd=disk1s1 as mentioned in that thread, i got a gray screen that said you need to restart your computer. That didn't help. I don't know if this helps but when I typed "mount" into terminal, I get /dev/disk1s1 on / (local, journaled) devfs on /dev (local) fdesc on /dev (union) <volfs> on /.vol /dev/disk0s1 on /Volumes/Untitled (local, read-only) automount -nsl [175] on /Network (automounted) automount -fstab [197] on /automount/Servers (automounted) automount -static [197] on /automount/static (automounted) /dev/disk2s3 on /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc x86 (local, nodev, nosuid, read-only) When I go into startup disk utility, the console log says - nvram: nvram is not supported on this system. nvram: nvram is not supported on this system. Could not find IODeviceTree:/options Can't access "efi-boot-device" NVRAM variable Is this relevant? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlavorofPwn Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I'm having a similar problem with installing Uphuck's 10.4.9 on a VMware machine. Once the install and I reboot I get this I've no idea what the problem is at this point, but any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
