I also have a phenom II 940 BE with 4gb of ram on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H mb. I have my mb set to ahci mode with a sata dvd drive. I have PATA disabled in the bios. I am getting this error. I used the 1.085r2 of empire efi. Once I press any key after empire efi is ready to launch from the 10.6 installation disc i get this error.

hi guys,

I already have one hackintosh with empire efi and now would like "emperify" my acer revo too.
Unfortunately I don`t have an external dvd reader &I don`t know how too boot empire efi from usb...
I`ve tried to follow these instructions but with no succes..
after I restore Empire efi to the partition I can`t get it to boot.
the diskutil list shows like this:
/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *320.1 GB disk0
1: EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS snow 42.4 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_HFS seven 36.8 GB disk0s3
4: Apple_HFS store 240.3 GB disk0s4
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *8.1 GB disk1
1: Apple_HFS Empire EFI 100.0 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Mac OS X Install DVD 8.0 GB disk1s2

How can I do it???

Hi, I'm currently having problems with installing Leopard / Snow Leopard via Empire Efi. When i'm told to press any key to continue it goes in but the dvd drive doesn't start up and after some time it shows "still looking for root device". I've tried to connect the drive to different SATA ports but i still get "waiting for root device" and it doesnt start to read the disk.

I've also tried booting from a PATA drive but doesn't work either, also tried to turn on and off AHCI mode but to no help.

Motherboard is Gigabyte EP45-DS3 with Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

Any solution on how to get it to work?

Thanks.

this is what I'm running

MB: M2N68-LA
AMD 64 x2 dual core 4400+ 2.3GHZ
PCI Gforce 8600 GTS
3gig Memory
need more just ask...

I loaded Empire EFI 10.6.3
I'm using a retail snowleo 10.6.3 usb flash install image

I get all the way up to the Language selection, my mouse moves but nothing happens when I click the next button, or enter.. it just sits there.

The mouse is using USB and keyboard is ps2. I am going to try another run today replacing my keyboard with a usb one.

i already have retail snow leopard and the amd empire efi.
when i choose install osx its goes to the loading screen and just keeps loading i left it on all night and it was the same.
how can i fix this?

t0ad99 · #99 07-21-2010, 04:34 PM

Recently with a legacy empire efi I have been able to get to the install screen but my hard drive is not present for install, nor is it present in disk utilitiy.

I think my mb/proc combo isn't a great candidate for this. So I'm thinking of replacing the motherboard/proc.

any suggestions on a hardware combo I can pick up from pricewatch ?

thanks!

I haven't been able to get on the EmpireEFI site for a few days. Is it going to reopen soon?
