Cannot boot after installation

[kroviken]

hi zephyroth..
i've download and instal zephyroth leopard 10.5.1 AMD.. installation was good and ok, but suddenly when booting for 1st time, d kernel appeared to be panic (or double i thought)... can you give me a solution for it? thanx a lot!

my system:

ASUS M2NPV-VM Socket AM2 mainboard
AMD X2 AM2 3600+
30GB HDD Maxtor
Lite-On DVD-Writer
Ricoh PCI PCMCIA Card

[naquaada]

Tell us the exact infomation of the panic. Do you have an ATI gfx card? Then it could be GeForce.kext and NVResMan.kext.

[kroviken]

yeah, i use ATI X300 PCIe card... it says debugger called <panic>

[zephyroth]

Put the log ! Is the panic related to GeForce or NVDAResman ? If yes, check the wiki.

[kroviken]

how to put d log? now i am online with my laptop, my pc is in front me

[zephyroth]

Read it, write it and copy it here ... :-)

hi all. i installed zephyroth 10.5.1 on my PC. installation goes nicely.
but then After rebooting and taking DVD out. my pc dont find anything bootable on my HD :( it says: Please insert media to boot or... something idont remember.

AMD Athlon 64 4200+ X2

riangeli, How to fix MBR boot without EFI:

// rdiskXsX: you have to know the proper partition names and replace them with X.
In my case, it would be rdisk0s1, first HDD, and first partition, on which leopard has been installed,
which you need to make bootable. :) You can also check this in the Disk Utility.

Hit enter after each terminal line to execute the command. //

1 -> Launch DVD
2 -> At boot prompt, type -s (single user mode)
3 -> Type:

fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX
update
f 1
w (yes)
q

4 ->
cd /usr/standalone/i386

./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisXsX ./boot (X is your partition)

5 ->
mount -uw /
mount -t hfs /dev/diskXsX /Volumes

6 ->
bless -device /dev/diskXsX -setBoot -verbose

7 -> reboot, without any dvd inserted.

Thanx Puttabong for very fast answer! :D

[riangeli]

It wont work :( my hdd is rdisk0 and leo is installed on partition 2
so its then rdisk0s2? I try many times and different variations.

when try to boot It just says nothing or b0 error

what means b0 error ? :(

[riangeli]

hi again. i nodes that in leopard install my 160Gb hdd is shown only a 128Gb in disk utility?
and Seagate Barracuda 200Gb hdd too appears to be 128Gb too.

can anyone tell me why? :D sorry my bad english...

and thanks!

[naquaada]

Maybe you've set a size limiting jumper on the harddisks? A friend did this (twice, even after I told him,grr) and his harddisks were also recognized as 128GB, in BIOS too.

[kroviken]

naquaada:Maybe you've set a size limiting jumper on the harddisks? A friend did this (twice, even after I told him,grr) and his harddisks were also recognized as 128GB, in BIOS too.

No! I dont have size limiter jumpers :D i don't know why they are only 128Gb.
I have the PS2 Keyboard problem so i doesn't manage to get in desktop to look my HDDS :(

Same here, 250 GB IDE hdd only recognized as 128 GB (SATA hdd does not work at all, impossible to partition). Something to do with 48 bit addressing or something?

In Windows XP, there was the same problem.
* 48-bit LBA support is necessary for drives larger than 137GB (128GB binary). The following conditions are necessary for the correct functioning of 48-bit LBA support in Windows 2000/XP:
* Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) must be installed for Windows XP versions prior to August 2002. For information about SP1, see Microsoft Article 322389.
* The system must have a 48-bit LBA-compatible Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) installed. This includes EIDE controller card BIOSs.
* You must enable the support in the Windows registry


Besides, it does not boot even after applying Puttabong's instructions.

(.... Maybe I have to wait for Rev2...)
