Well , did it install. Select the right options without anything i.e printers. The installation would generally fail , its normal. Make sure it installed 100%. Its because OSX can't bless the drive

MNG , whats your controller. If jMicron I'm sorta out of luck. I'll see what I can do. Please do let me know your controller

noob here I used the legacy cd and retail sl disk install worked great. The only issue is my usb ports will only work if I boot with the legacy disk then select my osx drive in the boot loader. If I just boot from the HDD with the my hack bootloader my usb ports do not work. Is there something I can check to see if I need to install or flag to fix this?

I got install failed @ ALMOST 60% , not all files were copied , I tried normal , legacy and ( lined ) ICH9R/M users version as i have ICH9R Contoller and intel G33 Chipset , Asus IPIBL-LB Motherboard .
I choosed only base system and additional fonts .
When i restared ( after install was failed ) i booted from the usb hard disk ( which i am installing snow leopard to ) and i got nothing just black screen , when i inserted empire efi cd i didn't see my hfs+ partition .
Note Again : I am installing to iternal hard disk connected via ide-to-usb connecter .
I posted a full summary of my computer by everest ultimate and attached it , it maybe useful .

Hey I also Ran into this same error last night Im using the latest Empire EFI 1.08 on a Asus P5W DH Deluxe. It let me format my drives but got to about 30% before it failed. Hey Prasys on your blog you say to try a different verison of the EFI if one doesn't work, I want to try the 1.01 version because thats the version that someone used in a guide that Im using and it worked for them. But on your site the link to rapidshare is down is there some way I can get the 1.01 from you or is there another place I can download it to see if it works?

Thanks

i too have the same problem, even left it running for an hour, and i still kept getting the same message.. played around with the BIOS settings, changed the sata mode to AHCI and yet it didn't work.. can anyone help us?

EDIT: even tried using all the flags (-v, -s, -x, -f) but still, nothing

@skew , type USBFix=y in Chameleon boot or add that to your USBplist. If you are not sure how to do this there is a how to somewhere in this forum

@MNG , great
