How have you been able to install your bootloader? I have the same installation, have updated to 10.5.8, and almost nothing destroys my install. So far I have cloned my drive and reinstalled the bootloader from the iAtkos v7 disk and still it performs just as well.
I supposed you to reinstall the bootloader again, just select one, or better yet reinstall you Leopard again and select only one bootloader. I have selected chameleon 2... Hth. Hasee W230N iAtkos S3 v2 10.6.3 updated to 10.6.4 via Apple Software Update . Intel T8300 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo

I have tried installing Chameleon 1 and 2 and Xiezhy from the Iatkos boot disk before and after the install, I have tried only 1 being installed at 1 time and i have tried all boot loaders installed at same time.
I have also tried installing no boot loaders and then installing Chameleon V2 from the installer package in OSx I have also tried Boot camp but it says i need to update my boot ROM which i do not know how to do. I have also tried dual boot with XP on 1 partition and OSX on the 2nd partition, and still no joy as when i boot OSx it changes the active partition and XP wont boot until i change the active partition again and OSx still only boots with the CD when i type rd=disk0s2 Thanx for the replies! and i think determination is kicking in |

I would try booting into your install and installing Chameleon manually I Had this happen to me once and that solved it good luck

Hey all..
I have just changed the active partition and now i get to boot into XP or OSX with the chameleon bootloader I have XP on partition 1 and OSX on partition2 I now have a new problem..I can boot into OSX with the CD all ok but if i boot using Chameleon i get a grey screen with the apple logo and a spinning white disc thing and no further.. Do i need to change boot options or something to make this work? 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean. Free credits ($100) for InfMac readers. |
