fishkorp Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I installed 10.4.4 with the patched DVD, installed fine, went through the user setup and all that fun stuff. I was running the OS fine, installed Camino and Darwine and left it running all day. I powered down and when I tried to reboot I get a "b0 Error" and nothing more. I saw someone else mention it's an MBR problem, but how do I fix that with OSX? I know how to do it with a Windows recovery disc, but this is a whole new OS for me. It's a Seagate SATA drive (10.4.3 was on an IDE drive if that matters). Any help/suggestions are appreciated. I'd love to boot back in and update to 10.4.5. Many thanks all.

fishkorp Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I changed my SATA/IDE settings and it now works. Thanks to all the folks here who's previous mistakes I learned from.

ZildjianKX Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Same Tiger ISO and doing a VMware install, have the exact same error. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Brywalker Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hmm. It looks like the problem is with the Disk Utility in the 10.4.4 patched disc. Apparently if you format with the 10.4.3 disc it's all good. Didn't work here, though. I guess I will get a linux disc and try from there.

ZildjianKX Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Here is a little walkthrough on how to get it to work. I used VMware Workstation 5.5. Created a new disk, chose other as the type, and inserted the line: paevm = "TRUE" in the vmx file. I loaded Knoppix with Daemon Tools and followed this tutorial on how to format the disk properly: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...a_new_partition MAKE SURE YOU USE DO THIS IN THE ROOT SHELL. From there I mounted the OS X disc with Daemon Tools and it booted fine and found the disc. This took me awhile to figure out, so I hope this helps others. Edit 2- This may sound weird, but I tried this a 2nd time and the install didn't recognize my partitioned drive. I then tried partioning it through the faulty disk utility, starting the install of OS X, then quiting it, then booting knoppix and using fdisk to create a partition, then using fsdisk to delete it and create a new partition and then it worked, lol.

ZildjianKX Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Actually, there is a much easier way I found, since pretty much the above didn't work for me in the end (just a blank screen the first time it booted). Install Tiger as normal, use the included Disk Utility to partition and format the disk. Download the following ISO: http://www.9down.com/downloads.php?fileid=288 Hiren's BootCD v7.8 After Tiger installs and reboots and you get the b0 error, load the above ISO and boot into it. From the menu, select MBR tools and choose Boot Magic. Follow the prompts and it should boot you into Tiger.

daadee Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't know how to do when i open MBR tools? Simple as that. Just enter any program from the CD and exit it. Then you see on the schreen "press M for Menu" After M and enter a menu will come up. Select Boot Magic (middle row last entry in my version) and start that program. It gives me one HDD (since I unpowered the other ones) and I should select the partition to boot from. Worked perfectly.

odo128 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Whoa !! Impressive ZildjianKX it really does now !! Thx a lot for your help ! To Aya, grab the ISO tools from Hirens, I personnaly took the V7.7, and on the menu, boot on it, then select on the menu select "MBR tools" (on the second page) then select "Boot Magic 8". Once the littre application launched, just enter the ID of the vmware partition. Once fixed, the VMWare virtual machine reboots and OS X 10.4.4 boot up !!

indiekiduk Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I can't get the patched dvd to boot in vmware. I get a "virtual machine kernel stack fault" error dialog right when the grey screen with the apple appears on it. -v option shows a scrambled screen at the crash.

thesog Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I got the b0 error as well and fixed it by booting with the 10.4.3 DVD and setting the startup disk to the 10.4.4 Volume. Restarted and it came up just fine.

Templeton Peck Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I got the b0 error as well and fixed it by booting with the 10.4.3 DVD and setting the startup disk to the 10.4.4 Volume. Restarted and it came up just fine. Thanks dude, you're my hero. I actually tried selecting the startup disk in 10.4.4 but I guess that only supports efi (maybe I could replace the prefpane with the 10.4.3 one). Anyway, I wonder what went wrong in the first place. Almost noone gets this problem and I've tried reinstalling twice, both times starting from a clean HD: 1st time, I followed Maxxuss instructions from a working 10.4.3 installation; 2nd time, I used the patched DVD floating around the interweb. In both cases the installation was successful but booting from 10.4.4 didn't work. Maybe it has something to do with my SATA drive? Anyway, thanks. This is definately the easiest solution.

Fernando Birra Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I also had b0 error after installing the 10.4.4 from the patched DVD. The solution was very easy. I noteiced that there was no active partition in my disk. I booted with a linux boot disc and changed the active partition to the OSX one.

Sekko Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 lol i got also the "b0 error" and tried a lot..waaahh the solution was more then easy: i booted after the installation again from the iso DVD, but forgot to press any key, and... Tiger booted !!! so try this, just let boot (after the installation) again from DVD, but do not press any key, just let the 8 seconds go to 0. i hope it works for everyone, have phun Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9925-after-1044-install-first-reboot-b0-error/#findComment-514426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
