wont boot? how did you inject the kext?

From terminal
Quote:
hdiutil attach /"Your ISO File" -readwrite
delete extensions.mkext
Add the kext you want in the Extensions folder.
Fix the permissions on the newly added kext.
Recreate the mkext file that way ----> kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"DVD"/mach_kernel -m /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/"DVD"/System/Library/Extensions

Yep roi, thats the method. Its is actually booting but it crashes after like 15-20sec thats why i said it wont boot from dvd. Maybe its because the ntfs.. i will give it one more try maybe today, as i said earlier that laptop is eternal trouble:-)

if ntfs is the problem, delete the ntfs.kext in extensions folder and boot with -f...Yes i know, it´s very tedious but ....!
try with zephyroth dvd, yes in your intel system, i´m not crazy...

Roiseoft, very very close to make it work! You were absolutely right, Zephyrot dvd rocks, i tried with it and its booting up, finds intel, switching to intel but it doesnt see sata disk still.. nevermind about that, i fixed it the other way.

I made another dvd, paying attention to everything, and instead of burning it to dvd-rw i burned it to dvd-r and it worked!! i cant believe that all the time rewritable dvd was causing me troubles. i wasted so many dvds and thats why i was testing install dvd with rw. Working now, appleviaatadriver loaded, sata found (thanks to heavens) and i installed Leo.

Heh now it is not booting up from the sata disk, like it doesnt see it anymore. Bootloader is installed, everything is ok about that, it starts booting and 'still waiting for root device'. I tried booting with dvd again, check to see if IOATAfamily.kext is there, appleviaata, everything is installed on the system, its there. tried with rebuiling permissions but no help, like it is not loading sata driver from the hard now. Any ideas what i could try?

The kext that you are injecting into the install dvd is not copied to the sata disk, because this kext only is for you can see the sata hd, and the installer copy the kext wihin of installers pkg, so copy the injected kext into the /extensions (Sata) and repair the permissions.

Fixed this stupid issue. Probably because my graphics card, network, wi-fi, anything isnt recognized and system stuck at making account. To bypass it i had to use low graphics mode and it completely skips this step..

;-) Finally into Leo 10.5.1 on this laptop. Now to see if i can install anything to work. Display at first place.
