Ok, here's my next problem *sigh*, not like i didn't expect it :)
So, i followed SaCleoCheater's tutorial, and everything succeeded successfully...or so I thought. I rebooted and I selected my Snow Leopard Partition in the darwin bootloader and it says it's Loading darwin/x86 then it blinks a cursor..and the entire thing freezes...and sometimes my display goes all funny too. Anybody have a soloution? Any help would be appreciated I have tried many combinations of boot flags, but none of the worked |
That is very weird :-/
Make sure your not using different versions of the bootloader... for example: Chameleon v2 with PC-EFI v9 Snow Leopard boot |
I am running: Darwin/x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chameleon v1.0.12
Thats what it says at the top before I select a partition to boot from I don't think it's the kernel. Because i am running my leopard boot, from the same kernel. I got the patched kernel for SL from the tut. What if I install chameleon to the partition i'm installing SL too? Or will that screw up more than it needs to? |
Ok I think i'm getting somewhere. I started over from scratch one more time. I realized I was putting the new boot file in the snow leopard partition *slap's forehead* , so i finished up the editing I had to do and rebooted. This time it did a similar thing, except instead of freezing up, and me having to do a hard shut down, it just automatically rebooted. It said loading Darwin/x86 then the little spinning line, then it just reboots and it continues to do that no matter what flag I use.
P.S. Sorry again for double posting EDIT:: Just tried a new combination of boot flags and I used the legacy flag for the first time and it started loading all the kexts...then it rebooted again *sigh* I was excited there for a minute As well, if I used -x -s -f -v it loads all kernels, but reboots. Do you think this could be caused by having the worng version of snow leopard? Cause i am downloading another version now, but i think it is, because the icon for the installer is not the snow leopard cd...it's the cd with the X on it. |
Hi again. Really sorry for triple posting.
Could this restart error be caused by not having the proper hard drive kexts. I should probably throw in the i'm installing on an external hard drive because leopard wouldn't pick my my laptops internal drive. I really want snow leopard to work, please help. |
