Jackobyte Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Having installed Kalyway 10.5.1 and I am very happy with the way it works. EFI_MBR. It pains me to see that there does not seem to be an easy solution to the problem that the bootloader does not seem to install correctly. What is the easiest way to solve this? Why is it so hard for people to answer this question? Why does this problem occur in the first place? I am downloading Kalyway's own Format and Make bootable HD for Leopard.iso but I wonder why this is even needed........ Someone please help me because this is really starting to do my nut in. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86579-easiest-way-to-fix-dvd-only-boot-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

scantron Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thank you very much CCG! I had just fried my install when I was updating to 10.5.3. I did a time machine restore, but it would not boot. All I had to do was use that bootloader and everything worked GREAT! I found that I didn't have to use the sudo -s command though in terminal. SAVED. MY. LIFE.

All I had to do was use that bootloader and everything worked GREAT! I found that I didn't have to use the sudo -s command though in terminal. SAVED. MY. LIFE. Scantron, I need to do the same because I messed up my Hack boot drive (Kalyway 10.5.4) trying to do a retail install. I restored using the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD and all went well, but I couldn't boot. When you used CCG's solution, did you actually reinstall Kaly 10.5.1, and then update to 10.5.3? Thanks!

Smarky Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hello, I'm trying this! Sudu -s comes up as an unknown command. Then when running the script it says something about not having exclusive access to the disk and then gives a few errors saying files can not be found. And then upon reboot, doesn't work =( Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/86579-easiest-way-to-fix-dvd-only-boot-problem/#findComment-849771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smarky Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thanks for the info! Just a question, the installer is a DMG image, how do I mount this if it won't boot into Os x?

Smarky Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I understand, but that will boot to the install DVD? How do I then mount a dmg package and install it from there?
