Hey everyone so I have just installed the AMD dvd found on this forum here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=73524

 

now I've installed perfectly fine and everything but I get this error with a black screen and a "_" because there's no bootlaoder.

 

I try to make it active by typing the command...

 

fdisk -e/dev/rdisk0

update

f1

w

q

 

but that does nothing what it does is it

 

says illegal operation by fdisk

 

When it does owrk though it says its a read only file system.

 

Any help with this would be seriously greatly appreciated I'm dying to get this os running on my system as I am a huge mac fan that can't afford an actual mac =[

 

thank you everyone I'm sure this topic will help plenty of others too :)

I jsut found that download somewhere and it said ti was 4 gigs and for intel only... is there any other way to go about doing it maybe a pack where that file is included in it so I can use it?

 

and by the way here's my specs

 

 

Processor : AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64)

Motherboard : ASUSTek model NAGAMI2L

Chipset : Nvidia Geforce 6150

RAM : 2gigs DDR PC3200

Graphics : Embedded Graphics I believe 128 mb

I myself had several problem but most are finally solved

 

The way I got around this booting problem (I am assuming it is installed to HD) is I first installed a working 10.4.8 version and applied the patches required then installed 10.5 to the same drive without using disk utility in 10.5 and then booted with -legacy -v but this can be done in the com.apple.boot.plist file

 

I also replace the mach_kernel with a hacked kernal for AMD SSE2

 

I know it is a long winded way of doing it but I am now running 10.5 on AMD SSE2 having trouble with about this mac crashing so searching the forums for any fixes when I saw your post

 

Good luck
