PC EFI Booting Problem on Leopard

[Rishikesh]

I have Leopard installed with pc_efi patch and vanilla kernel. i use GUID partition. My OSX Leopard id installed on the first HFS partition. I have found one booting related problem. After patching the pc_efi patch, i booted sucessfully only once. After that, I give me problem saying that you need to power off, just like kernel panic type error. But when i press F8 and booted with the -v option, it load OSX without any problem. What is the solution to this problem. I cannot boot normally without giving any option.

weird...

 

does it bother you to boot with options every time? Because here is a workaround:

 

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

 

add:

 

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>-v</string>

 

to the middle somewhere.

 

Here is what mine would look like with that:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>Kernel</key>

<string>mach_kernel</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>

<string>-v</string>

<key>Timeout</key>

<string>8</string>

</dict>

</plist>

Thats really very nice solution. But, why it is giving this problem, how can i boot normally with the white apple logo. Any solution for this?

My Leopard was booting and working fine without problem. After I update 10.5.1 from Apple website, I cannot boot normally. I need to give -v option from Darwin bootloader to boot into osx otherwise a message "You need to restart your Computer" displayed. How can i fix this error?

Well apply what the guy above you has indicated. This way the Hack will boot with -v automatically.
