SnprSlick Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hey all, Ive been trying to install Mac OS X Tiger for a while now, I am using ubuntu and extracting the tiger-flat img file. When booting, the computer would show the apple logo with the spinning wheel, then after a while, it would show the little circle with a line across. I checked in safe mode, it says: "iousbmassstorage has no kernel dependency" then it just says waiting for root device I am using: Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 XFX Nvidia 650i Mobo I think the problem might be related to NForce 4, are there any fixes? thanks!

SnprSlick Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 just a quick update. The msg above was incorrect. Its: Extension "com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass" has no kernel dependency.

SticMAC™ Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Just what I know about the flat image, I have always had to DD install it to a USB drive, then boot from it, get the kexts for my ICH8R controller, load it, then reboot! Once I can see that it has picked up my DVD drives and other HDDs on the desktop then I remove it from the enclosure and stick it in the machine! ALSO always remember to fix permissions! OR If you have another MacOS, you could DD install the flat image load the controller kexts via that, repair permisions, and reboot from the new drive! Always remember to fix permissions! StiCMAN just a quick update. The msg above was incorrect. Its: Extension "com.apple.iokit.IOUSBMassStorageClass" has no kernel dependency.

marticus Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 i'm almost certain that this means your sata drivers are not detected. check the forums to see what fixes there are for your motherboard. hope that was useful Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94226-iousbmassstorage-has-no-kernel-dependency/#findComment-671602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
