Asus a8he

I am currently using a notebook Asus A8HE series. I installed osx86 10.4.11 successfully without any problem except my wireless card and built-in webcam. I tried to install iDeneb 10.5.5 ( i forgot the version though ). I installed it successfully without any problem but when I restarted it there was an error

Code:

boot 0 : error

any ideas would be highly appreciated, thanks.

There was some problem while installing the bootloader, try reinstalling the whole distro or start the installed system booting from the dvd and reinstall the chameleon bootloader.

I'm sorry, I'll be researching for the chameleon bootloader.. I think that's the thing I missed. I just installed the x86 where windows is installed first. I didn't use any bootloader or something because my HD is already partitioned prior to installing osx86.

Partition 1: windows
Partition 3: x86

edited: That's the process I did when I intalled 10.4.11 and I had no problem, though. I think that might be the problem?

I guess, it's just up to me to exhaust all the information over the internet and fix this problem on my own. thanks guys...

Ok, I really can't find out how to install chameleon bootloader. I've printed out lots of information about installing Leopard and chameleon but I wasn't able to install chameleon. I reinstalled iDeneb v1.4 10.5.56 and I was successful on installing the distro. The problem is when I restarted the computer again I've experienced

Code:

boot 0 : error

I rebooted the computer and popped in the Leopard disk image, surprisingly it booted successfully and actually I'm currently using it on posting this message. I found something that would copy the boot 0 file:

Code:

Step 1. sudo -s
Step 2. cd /usr/standalone/i386
Step 3. dd if=boot0 of=/dev/disk05 <- disk05 is my curr disk
Step 4. cp boot /
Step 5. restart

Step 3 is not successful, it's saying resource busy. now, I'm totally out of idea. I hope somebody could provide some idea about this. thanks in advance.

I'm not sure but I think you got those instructions mixed up, I think you have to use fdisk to install boot0 to disk's mbr and dd to install boot1 to partition's bootsector.
Have you tried reinstalling Chameleon using the automatic installer?
If that doesnt work maybe you have some troubles with your hard disk structure (partition or mbr) thats stops chameleon from being installed correctly...
