minnie Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi All. My Kalayway 10.5.1 reports an error in the last minute of the install. Something about it can't install and to try again, with a big yellow alert Badaxe 2/ C2D Formatted Guid with disk utility Selected Vanilla and Boot Guid any tips? EDIT: For me installing with Guid EFI checked I get the error. Without any EFI checked install goes through ok. thanks Headrush69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilsator Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hi All. My Kalayway 10.5.1 reports an error in the last minute of the install. Something about it can't install and to try again, with a big yellow alert Badaxe 2/ C2D Formatted Guid with disk utility Selected Vanilla and Boot Guid any tips? Same thing here. I thought it might have to do with missing AHCI support of my board. If you can activate that in the BIOS I would try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnie Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 I don't think it's that Pilsator. I have AHCI enabled, running fine with 10.4.x and with iAtkos too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilsator Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I don't think it's that Pilsator. I have AHCI enabled, running fine with 10.4.x and with iAtkos too. Then I have no idea "where the dog is buried" (as we say in germany). Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMo Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'm having the exact same trouble trying to install on a new Bad Axe build.... Trying to install Kalyway GUID always ends with an Install Fail dialog at the end... Tried burning a new Kalyway disk, reformatted my whole startup drive using zeros, tried changing BIOS settings, from AHCI to IDE, still no luck... don't know what I should try next...

MuffinFlavored Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I had a problem where it said "Esstentials packaged cannot be verified" or something. Is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Had same problem until I unchecked any EFI option. (Did it manually.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMo Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Headrush69, are you saying you managed to installed Kalyway using GUID partition, but you deselected the EFI option? I'll give it a whirl and get back to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariadri Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I installed osx many times, as far as I can see this is a burn error. Try re-burning the dvd at the lowest speed possible. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnie Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Headrush69 Thanks. For me that's it too, if I install with Guid EFI checked I get the error. Without any EFI checked install goes through ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMo Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Yes, confirmed, Headrush69 is correct. Disabling EFI option allows install to proceed to the end without any errors. So there's something about my Bax Axe rig and Minnie's rig that doesn't get along too well with the Kalyway disc EFI option at the moment. BJMoose reports his Kalyway attempts were fine in another thread installing on his Bad Axe 2... I wonder what the story is with our system that won't play nice?

pilsator Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I can confirm it too. It works fine including sleep/wake (you just can't reboot via menu command after sleep with my board), you don't have to edit a .plist to change monitor resolution.

qeku Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 hi. its new year already! it´s 1:37 AM here in argentina, everybody outside playing with fireworks and i´m... well.. posting what i just find out. *****************"the final minute of death"************* -yes, i baptized because ive seen it so many times- can be fixed just by choosing MBR instead of GUID. then move on and install what you need, efi, drivers, etc, and voilà! installation completes succesfully.. then i had the flashing cursor on the first boot without the dvd. i fixed that booting the iatkos dvd and using only the darwin bootloader from that dvd indicating that i wanted the efi thing (because i previously installed kaly with efi) quit instalation and enjoy! cheers!

Mattro Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 DING DING DING! we have a winner, at least for me. Thanks, now I can finaly go to bed. I was pumped when everything booted from dvd, but the "yellow triangle of death" had me stumped. took lots of searching on here, but I found the answer. BTW this is my second post, first one was referring someone else to this thread who had the same problem.
