Hmmm.
I'm obviously missing something. I have managed to get a minimal retail install of Leo up and ready to upgrade, However: 1. If I run the SL installer, it gets as far as copying all the files to the hard drive and then reboots - back to square one. 2. If I run the terminal command to open the hidden installer.mkpg - I get an error message that SL cannot be installed on the drive running the OS. Confused again :) |
Burn the dmg, or open the dmg but don't recover it to a other harddisk. When opening the OSInstall.mpkg, just select the right volume where you can want it to be installed! But before that, you have to Partition it yourself in Diskutility.
The idea is that you install Snow leo, from within a running normal Leo system. But offcourse you have to select a different drive to install snow leo to than the current one on which leopard is running. I'f you don't have enough harddisk, and have to do all with the same harddisk it gets cumbersome because the bootloader from snow leo may interrupt viceversa with you normal leo. |
@CEE
how do you do the install ? |
Walterav: Could my harddrive issue be related to pcefi?
I used the one supplied in the guide on page 1. "Bootloader Chameleon_v1012" Netkas wrote : "known issues: sata ports 5-6 doesnt work, so I disabled scanning of those." on his post about PC EFI V10.2 beta. are the other sata ports working for everybody else? |
@Renira
I basically installed it like its described in the guide. - I installed from my working 10.5.8 with a usb stick (I previously restored 10A432 to) - moved all the kexts as described in the guide -repaired permissions on my Snow Leo drive via disc utility from my working 10.5.8 - I had to change sata ports to get it to boot -otherwise I would get errors and it wont boot - I had to boot with -x -v and let kextutility do its thing. (I also installed fakesmc and voodoohda64 (got it from kexts.com) Now I would really like to solve my Harddrive issue :) P.S I also experience Mouse skips when booting with -x64 - even though I installed the disabler.kext from my leopard partition (which takes care of the mouse skips on 8800GT and other GPU“s) |
