SlimosX Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Dear All, Now after I managed to finally boot into the installer and install Kalyway I could boot into the operating system at all The PC shows either the .com.apple.list error if I leave the DVD in drive or boots auto into the windows HDD if I take it away I tried also to unplug the Windows HDD but it only returned the .com.error.pls error I tried to boot with –x and it brought me back to the installation I have a Core 2 Duo 2.4 MSI 965 Neo 3GB of Ram I choose to format the whole HDD in the OSX installer and make it only 2 partitions with GUID and didn’t choose the Vanilla kernel as some users advised here that it will restart in a loop before the installer and that really happened before I decided to install again without this option. Can someone please tell me why I’m having this issue Thank you all once again Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97064-cant-boot-after-succesfull-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakine Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 did you type "sudo -s" if not, that is why you are getting the Read Only errors, "sudo -s" put's you as Root (in other words, supervisory mode") and will allow you to make changes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97064-cant-boot-after-succesfull-installation/#findComment-693294 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimosX Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ok Now I gave it a try but I have the following problems or let’s say Questions: 1- The Terminal Starts with bash-3.2# then how should I write Sudo -s . I mean that’s why I thought the first 3 lines : *rdiskXsY (GUID partition) sudo -s password: Were not included as I found it starts with bash-3.2# 2- Where should I write this?? I have to boot with –s or in the terminal of the OSX installer 3- Should I do this before the installation or after it and after I make a GUID partition 4- Can someone please tell me in details what I should do I really printed all the codes written in this forum but I could write anyone of them in the appropriate places Thank you all, I’m really a N00b at codes Thanks again for the help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97064-cant-boot-after-succesfull-installation/#findComment-694237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
