Jezz Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi, I tried diffirent releases, Kalyway tiger(dunno the exact version number) iaktos 1.4i, iaktos tiger(1.0?). First tried Iaktos tiger in vmware, i managed to start the installation but after the installation is complete it reboots and then i get cpu disabled error. Then i tried with all 3 to boot from dvd and install native, but i get a error: Apple.com.boot.plist not found. I heard this problem is related to Jmicron controllers. Is there a way to get a release installed on Jmicron, and what release? Specs: C2D e4500 Asus P5B Hitachi SATA drive Nvidia XFX 8600GTxxx Thanks in advance, my father has a apple and i love the operating system and would be very happy if i could run it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megavolkan Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi, i also have MSI P965 Neo mobo with *!@‘# jmicron controller. In 10.5.1 HCL on here some jmicron controller included mobos have succesfuly worked with sole tweakings. Check this out for your mobo. And you should use a SATA DVD reader/writer in order to install it. USB DVD doesn't work and gives /com.apple.boot.plist error. Just unplug all IDE drives from your controllers like IDE hdds and optic drives (yes you must have a sata hdd too, ide is not recognized) usb keyboard and mouse (ps2 doesn't work either during installation) and an install dvd type compatible with your mobo like Kalyway or Iatkos (mine is Kalyway). I will buy a SATA dvd asap and try installing this is my last hope to get rid of /com.apple..... error or i will replace my mobo with a compatible one. Good luck to you. Keep your fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorf Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 asus p5b jmicron works out of the box with kalyways 10.5.1 install dvd. you only need an audio driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMF Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Try setting your JMicron to IDE mode for the install. After install set it to AHCI. That works on my Gigabyte P35-DQ6 for Tiger installs (XxX and JAS). If I leave it in AHCI mode I get the com.Apple.boot.plist not found error.

hellsangel Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I got the same problem on my ASUS P5B with JMicron Controller... but in my case I can't even boot either from Kalyway, iatkos and xXx tiger DVD. I set the sata controller to IDE but I always get the error "/com.apple.boot.plist can't find" when boot from DVD. When I disable it, my DVD drive wont recognize and disappear from boot list. I tried to use other DVDRAM (Asus and LiteOn) but it don't want boot up still...... hiks hiks hiks Spek: ASUS P5B C2D E4500 Seagate SATA 250Gb GF 7300GT 2Gb DDR2 Samsung DVDRAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Growler Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I have the same problem with '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found when trying to boot from the IDE DVD drive on a Asus P5K Motherboard (because of the Jmicron controller I presume). I have tried nearly all settings in the BIOS but still no dice. Annoying because I *really* want to try this out... Is it possible to use an USB/FW stick or drive as install medium? I have searched in vain for info on that but no luck there either (other than it seems that USB is a no no for install). I understand that there is a way to insert modules into the installation ISO (which could help maybe?) but the shellscript seems to rely on me having an OS X install already handy which I don't. Does anyone have any tips where to start? I would be eternally grateful even for a hint on where to start looking and happily write up my experiences here -to be kept for posterity- should I succeed. Thanks (and *bump ), -RG. HW list (if that matters): MB: Asus P5K CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 DVD: HP 640 DVD-RW RAM:2Gb Corsair DDR2 6400 Twinsomething.

Gujal Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I had to get an SATA DVD Drive and plug it into SATA1 port of ICH8 for it to boot. Even tried SATA to IDE adapter to get my IDE DVD to boot, but no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
