Q6600, P5K Deluxe with 10.5.7 running since last summer using boot123.

SL boot stops just past Chameleon boot with- "IOAPIC version ox20 vector 64:87" as the last line and is frozen there. A couple of lines up it states "Mac Framework successfully initialized" a total of 22 lines before freezing.


The guide is not hard to follow and have a new 500G sata2, using AHCI in bios, but the installer for the OSXinstall.mpkg stop with about 1 minute left and exits with an error stating there are "files that are not permitted to be copied". I still must be doing something wrong.

The other strange issue is ownership of the files on the SL HD disk the mpkg installer installed to are "K1:staff" and not "root:wheel and root: admin" as the Leopard root directory has. Disk utility has the repair permissions greyed out and only allows me to "repair disk". This verified the disk is "OK" but does not repair the ownership issue. I have tried diskutil from the command line with both repairPermissions /dev/disk0 and diskutil enableOwnership.
My mounted OS X install DVD has the K1:staff ownership also.


I have tried my compiled dsts.aml as well as one from another P5K Deluxe posted here.
com.apple.Boot.plist is in both Extra and Lib/Preferences locations and is the same. I used the "boot" file in the / from "Snow Essentials", UInsaller to put in my Nvidia 7600GS 256M video. Used Chameleon v3 as specified.

Thanks to all for the excellent work on this forum.

Found the problem.. it lives!! I took out the AppleDecrypt.kext, Disabler.kext, and OpenHaltReset.kext from the UInstaller and achieved boot. The permissions thing must be normal as no amount of searching found an issue with this.
My dsts.amt works good.
