stephancelmare360 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well I downloaded Kalyway's ISO, burned it up.. stuck it in the drive, rebooted.. and I get " /com.apple.Boot.plist not found" error. Thats all I see once I boot it. I have had this problem when I tried last time (JaS), but maybe in the meantime a fix has surfaced, or a way to get it running. My PC specs : CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 - 1.86Ghz Mobo : Asus P5B-VM Ram : 3 Gig of Corsair - 6400 Video : XFX Nvidia 8600Gt @ 1680 x 1050 Monitor : Samsung Syncmaster 226BW 22" OS : Vista Ultimate Hard Drive : Seagate 160 Gig x 2 Thanks!

VanillaTbone Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I saw the same thing a few times. This happens when any of the following situations arise: -You are using a SATA HDD and a IDE optical drive and AHCI is enabled. -You have burned your image using a high burn speed(8x or above) -You have a IDE HDD and a IDE optical drive on the same channel using "Cable Select" jumper settings. Try setting your devices to their respective settings(ie. Master/Slave, etc.) Hope this might help you out...

^_^ Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Have you try rebooting a few timewith disk in drive? mine sometimes do that too, in my case a reboot will fix it though.

xx66stangxx Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I had the same problem. Solution for me- Reburned the dvd and didn't see the problem again.

stephancelmare360 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have a SATA HD and a IDE optical Should I still re-burn ?

trioptic Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 i had this problem too. reburned twice, sata drives, etc. turns out it was because I was installing the ethernet, audio and video drivers during install. i tried again without checking any extra devices, and it worked.

stephancelmare360 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 I get the problem right when I put the disk in the drive, when it boots the disk (like starts spinning in the drive).. it appears.

VanillaTbone Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Make sure that you have AHCI disabled, Native SATA Mode enabled... ^ This worked for me when using my SATA HDD and IDE DVD Burner.

stephancelmare360 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 AHCI is/was already dsiabled, but I cant seem to find a location to change to " Native SATA Mode". There doesn't seem to be that option. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88262-comapplebootplist-not-found-error/#findComment-631716 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_fantasma Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm using the Bad Bios patch ... O.o ... Quite funny, first time I tried installing, I used unpatched iATKOS v1, didn't notice the "Customize" option before install... Install and boot was successful (Created user name, registered, blah blah ) NIC didn't work so I got the r2 and r3 patches, patched the ISO, checked md5sums, burned 2x speed, blah blah And now I get b0 or com.apple.Boot.plist not found error too >_> My Dell BIOS has no option to turn off/on AHCI, but doing my research online I have found it does not support AHCI at all, so I should be okay, no? "You have a IDE HDD and a IDE optical drive on the same channel using "Cable Select" jumper settings." I suspect this may be true (it's a Latitude D820 *laptop*, so I won't open up that monster ^^) I'm wondering why the patched disk won't work when v.1 worked fine *ponder* I will be witting my signature soon if anyone would like to know my laptop stats. I've been reading this forum, awed, for a few weeks now, I can't believe the amazing work that has been put into hackintosh.... It's really impressive *High Five!* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88262-comapplebootplist-not-found-error/#findComment-631907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjorsth Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I got the exact same problem when I boot, and when there must press any key to load. My system: Acer Aspire 9302 AMD Turion 64 X2 NVidia GeForce Go 7300 128MB Slimtype DVDRW SSM-8515S DVD-Drive Hitachi HTS541612J9SA00 Harddisk OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition And also I can't disable AHCI in my bios. I can't see AHCI anywhere. I've tried also to burn on 4 speed (third try for burning a dvd). On the other computer here it works perfectly. So can someone help me with my problem?

megavolkan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Possible solutions: Try removing all hdd's from ports, leave only optical drive plugged and see what happens If Lan Boot is enabled disable it. It may interfere with installation (It smthng to boot over ethernet drives, must be in bios named as LAN option rom or similar) Apparently it is not about your dvd (if it works on other computers) Sometimes disablling or enabling may solve the problem if you haven't tried yet. Also try disabling other integrated peripherals like onboard ethernet, sound, vga may work. Good Luck!

VanillaTbone Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Stephan, Do you have an external HDD? If so, then is your Optical drive SATA or IDE or External? Does your mobo have 2 IDE channels? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88262-comapplebootplist-not-found-error/#findComment-633355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephancelmare360 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 It has 1 IDE channel which Im running dual drive ( Dual Layer DVD + CD Burner) of it. Then 2 SATA drives. I have a spare IDE HD ( 80 gig), but I dunno what I could do with it, maybe swap out the CD burner? :S Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88262-comapplebootplist-not-found-error/#findComment-633364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEdgett77 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have the same problem but if I hit f8 i can boot into the installer and install but after installing it just sits at the blinking _ when i try to boot into the OS you can assume that its because its not installing the boot.plist file Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88262-comapplebootplist-not-found-error/#findComment-633406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanillaTbone Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Stephan, Ok, Unhook the CD-Burner from the IDE Channel and set it aside for right now. Just leave the DVD-Burner hooked up and change the jumper settings on the back of it to "MASTER". - Go into your BIOS and set the DVD Burner to boot first - Make sure that your DVD Burner is the only item in your startup config list in your BIOS - Make sure you turn AHCI off - Make sure your SATA Drives are hooked to SATA channels 0 and 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88262-comapplebootplist-not-found-error/#findComment-636115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
