j@k3 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Donno what to say about the Vista issue but the only way i managed to overcome the b0 error was ... boot with XxX 10.4.11 , partition the entire HDD guid, and only install the EFI v8 for guid, let the install complete. then boot with kalyway 10.5.1 do the installation without choosing the EFI and that way i got kalyway booting without b0 error Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88447-b0-error/#findComment-630856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
level42 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion. I dont have XxX 10.4 but I'm going to fiddle with some KalyWay stuff and see what I get.

anyname Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I had this too. I fixed it with :fdisk /mbr and then partitioning the drive. well. that's a DOS command *smile* a question: which os did you have installed prior installing MacOS? I think, VISTA is one of the devils, which causes this problem (writing something strange into the MBR of the disks) ...

If you've done an efi_mbr custom install: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0 flag <your leo partition> update write quit [booting off the install disk, utility - terminal] should do it from previous experience otherwise you can re-install leo. Make sure you erase the partition first, use the zero option from the disk utility is good idea too; you can skip it once you zero a couple of bytes into the partition, then do erase. Once you formated the partition do a custom install and check only efi_mbr. I've used KalyWay 10.5.1 disk only, no experience with other distributions Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/88447-b0-error/#findComment-631605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you are using multiple disks make sure you are using the right disk. Meaning /dev/rdisk0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is the right drive.
