ryanbr Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hey there, I'm trying to get the mac.nub dvd to install. After i select what i want to install the following happens. 1. Press Install 2. Press skip (to skip the DVD scan) 3. Install Fails instantly. The error given was as follows: **EDIT** This error was from the install log Failed to locate package at path /system/installation/packages/conextatnt.pkg. This error happens regardless of my install options i select, is there something blatently obvious I'm overlooking? System Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 4x2.40ghz 8mb cache 2gb DDR2 800mhz ram EVGA Nvidia 680i SLI motherboard Evga Nvidia 7900GS 256mb If anyone is using the same motherboard and somehow got it to install I would appreciate a list of what you selected during the install process. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Either there is something wrong with your installation media or you haven't prepared your disks for installing to. First of all you need to ensure you have prepped the parition or drive ready to recieve the install. When the installer screen shows up, ignore it and wait for the top screen menus to load. From the Utilities menu load up Disk Utility. There will be a short delay whilst it gathers disk information. Once you can see you HD's and Partitions you need to select a partition, set it to mac journaled and erase it. Be careful to select the right disk / partition, you don't want to lose your existing setup. Once the erase procedure is complete, exit disk utility and the installer window will reappear. Now you can choose a Disk / Partition to install to. Proceed as you did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanbr Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hum, will have another look at the partitions, but i've done that a few times already. I might give the install disk another attempt before a burn it again. I'll also have a look at the contents of the DVD, maybe i can browse to that directory to see if the file is there. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanbr Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Update, that file is not on the DVD, there is one called conextat.pkg, but not one named conextatnt.pkg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecsx86 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 thanks rynbar I had the same problem when I tried to use the conexant patch. Macnub did install well without it though. Perhaps you can run the package after a successful install. I will give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanbr Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yep, I got around it by simply not telling it to install any audio related drivers / kexts. Now I'm going through the headache of trying to get it to boot after install, for some reason it's not writing a boot entry on the drive so after install I cannot boot. I remember months/years ago i got around that by formatting a special way via the Disk Setup thing in the installer, but it's been so long since i've tried to install OSX, so I can't remember, bah!

ryanbr Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Up and running now, found a method to add the MBR in so it will boot now. Normal startup Mode: An error has occured please restart your computer. -v -x mode: Loads perfectly, however during the basic system setup where you set up your keyboard, internet, user account it randomly locks up for some reason. No error is being thrown.... Ahwell... I may have hit a dead end now. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skakillers Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'm having the same problem after installing, as in it doesnt boot up, all I get is the restart your computer in 15 languages screen. Poster before me mentioned adding to MBR, how do I do that? I booted off the cd, and when I did startup options it only sees the cd as a bootable device, and not the hard drive.
