download transmac for windows, enable "show hidden files" go to /system/installation/packages and delete the lenguages that you don´t need, then go to /system/library and make a folder labeled "Extensions" , download this (media fire.com/download.php?a1wmojflxto) copy all the kext into the "Extensions" folder, reburn the dvd and boot with -v -f ...if you still get the "still…" you need try with other version of the applenforceata.kext
Hi. So can I just make dmg image (using TransMac), delete/insert necessary kexts (using TransMac) and burn image (using TransMac)? No need for fixing permissions or smth else? What about Extensions.mkext? Or I could just boot with -f? Will DVD bootable at all =) ?
Thanx in advance.
it seems a problem with applenforceata (read/write) plug the HD for mac to the first sata port and unplug the others if doesn´t works try with another version of the kext.
