Filipe Tolhuizen Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've just got a new pc that refuses to boot every release of OS X 86 with this same error message. I tried Jas 10.4.8, uphuck 10.4.9, ToH 10.5 RC2 and Kalyway 10.5.1, all of them booted in my old pentium 4 but none in my current Core2Quad. My system is: Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 2GB DDR3 ASUS P5E3 Deluxe WiFi @n xfx Geforce 8800GTX 768MB DDR3 Sony DRU-840A IDE. Seagate 500GB, Seagate 250GB SATA 3 Please help!

nkear5 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Taking out the install disc before the first boot usually helps. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94979-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-677494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filipe Tolhuizen Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Taking out the install disc before the first boot usually helps. Sorry, I didn't explain it clear enough. My system is refusing to boot every OS X 86 DVD (the same that booted with no problems on my old system), which means that I can't even install.

megavolkan Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 It's probably your IDE DVD drive. New builds refuses to boot off a IDE DVD drive on newer boards. I strongly suggest u to get a SATA DVD drive. Not even a IDE in a USB box might not work. Believe me i tried every thing (IDE dvd patches, IDE to SATA converters, USB DVD drives) until i get rid of this problem. The only working solution is using a native SATA optical drive. Do not even use a IDE hdd either. Leave ALL IDE PORTS EMPTY. Trust me this will WORK. (as 6 more people in this forum confirms this to my knowledge so far ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94979-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-677632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyper Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Reburn the DVD at the slowest speed. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94979-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-677650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkear5 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Disable Legacy IDE mode (enables native IDE mode) in the BIOS, and make sure the "SATA/IDE" mode is set as [iDE]. I have an IDE DVD drive and it works just fine under those settings.

I have an IDE DVD drive and it works just fine under those settings. Tried it, still didn't work. All Tiger and Leopard builds still give the same error, but boot fine on any other computer I tested.

Filipe Tolhuizen Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Could the problem be solved by updating the controller's firmware? or changing the flat cable from an 80 to a 40 ways one?

sauria Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 It may sound odd but I had this problem until I replced my USB keyboard with a PS/2 keyboard. Might try?

Mine is already a PS/2, however my mouse is USB since my mobo doesn't have PS/2 for mouse Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94979-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-697406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauria Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I used PS/2 for both on BadAxe2 board. Odd, after installation -- USB keyboard and mouse work fine.

varun7676 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Is there anyone who can help for this problem. I am really curious to install Mac onto my PC. Thanks in advance!!

Filipe Tolhuizen Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 It seems that the JMicron controller is the problem. I tried changing the mode from IDE to AHCI but I still had the same problem. Would I be able to install if I update controller's firmware? or is there a newer OSX86 release that fixes the problem?

Gujal Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Jmicron IDE ports are not supported for install. They work fine after installation though using JmicronATA.kext You have two options. 1. Plug your harddisk on a machine that works and start the install. Finish the install, dont reboot, let it shutdown. Unplug the harddisk and install on your new machine and continue or 2. Get a SATA DVD Drive for your new machine and boot the DVD on that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94979-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-700637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
accorkie Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I switched from IDE dvd-r to a SATA and worked like a charm. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/94979-comapplebootplist-not-found/#findComment-701109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
