Question LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD with problem on boot up
HI I downloaded LawlessPPC-Leo-10.5.4-Phenom&AMD and I get this weird problem during boot up.

I get a System config file 'com.apple.Boot.Slist' not found

My Specs :

Dell Inspiron 531
Proc : Athlon X2 4400+
Board : Dell Inspiron 531 board a.k.a ASUS M2N61-AX
Memory : 2 GB

I'm booting the DVD using a usb dvdrom drive. since my dvd rom drive is ide and I don't have any ide ports anymore. So i use an ide to usb converter to boot the DVD.

Any help woud be greatly appreciated.

Thank you....

FinalData. I've got the base same setup as you do (almost). Check your MD5 to the sites obtained from.

Remember to burn it at a slower burn speed so less errors are likely to occur. Also do as Lawless says and let the burning application verify the burn. Keep trying. This distro works perfectly with my system.

Also, make sure you aren't installing from an external DVD writer/reader.

Ahhhh... I guess this would be the reason.. as i am using an internal dvdrom drive converted to an external one that boots to a USB port....

Have you converted the drive back to internal to attempt the install?

I can't install it because the drive is IDE... I don't have an IDE port for the Inspiron 531

hmm.. well I also have the MCP61 and that distro works on my board. I've installed it numerous times before.

As for the MCP67, you can inject the kernel extension into the install DVD and then reinject it into the installed system to make it work. Look up how to do this as it is out there. Here is just one of those examples:

I had the same error. I'm booting from internal IDE DVD-RW drive, the error wont appear if I use -v flag on the loader. Unfortunately my standard PS2 keyboard don't work in the installer, but I'm able to install OSx86 (I has to restart PC myself after installation, so probably ACPI don't work for me). When I'm trying to run installed system, I'm getting this:

Quote:
AppleVIAATADriver: VIA 8237 SATA (CMD 0xff00, CRT 0xfe00, IRQ: 22, BM: 0xfb00)
ERROR: FireWire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure.
Still waiting for root device
...
SATA mode is set to Native-IDE in BIOS.

My system spec.:
Athlon 64 X2 4800
Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3, AMD770 & SB600 chipsets
Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT 256MB

Could you help me?
