homers Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi I just re-installed without installing the EFI vanilla kernel but the problem remains. This is weird as it never happened with Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satula Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 This is a old thread so I don't know if anyone is looking at this. Reason: HD doesn't know what to do. Fix: No saveable fix. Backup your information and format the Partition *** For Inspiron 8600, other systems will vary*** You need a MBR bootloader SSE2 Patch * Same for all computers * No spaces in filesystem name "e.g Hackintosh HD" untill you can get into OS X then you can change the name. When you install name it something safe like "leopard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
