boot with -v option at the boot menu and tell us the last messages you get.

I already had this PCGenUSBEHCI error, but don't remember when... Which Leopard install DVD did you use?
|
zephyroth 10.5.2 version2.
|
looks like you have applenforceata installed twice on the disc or on the hd
|
AppleNForceATA loads every time a SATA port is found. a physical reset is done for every port. on my board it does this four times... this doesn't mean that AppleNForceATA is installed four times, just that I have four ports in use.
|
i have 2 sata2 drive
1-xp 2-test for linux or hackintosh |
I know that
mine says it alot too but when i was trying to get a distro to work with my comptuer i messed up and put two applenforce ata inside the iso before i burned it and i got the same error he is getting because in zeph first release the appleNforcATA is install inside another kext and i didn't know it |
Well I didn't use Zeph's second release so I don't know if there are two AppleNForceATA kexts installed. To be fair though, when I was a noob and knew it only had to be placed in IOATAFamily, I placed it directly in the Extensions folder and the IOATAFamily>Contents>Plugins folder because I was receiving conflicting views on where it had to be placed... yet I've never had this error. All I'm saying is I don't know if it is because of that. Its worth looking into though. Where does PCGenUSBEHCI come in to play? and what does the rest of the line above the yellowed text say? "kmod_control/start... PCGenUSBEHCI; dest"... destination what?

do you think ill have the same problem with leo4all or kalyway?

How did you do the Update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.3? Did you use Zephyroth's ASU?
These are kind of weird errors... The first has to do with the "enhanced USB" driver (USB 2.0). Then it looks like it finds your 2 SATA drives - and a few lines later, looses them. (After the "Firewire unable to determine" message, the bootloader is doing a LOT of stuff, mostly having to do with the "boot device" (startup hard drive). This is where the "Still waiting for boot device" error message generally occurs. Yours is either stalled there or caught in a neverending loop...) So, it looks like some of your .kexts really got screwed up if all this was working properly before the "update"... |

i tried ti modify only with asu = kernel panic so i tried with kalyway combo update + 9.3 kernel and that worked, but at reboot i have this (neverending loop) :( |
looks like you're re-installing 10.5.2 - I don't think you'll get this fixed otherwise...

ok then so i guess ill be stuck at 10.5.2.. |
I never updated to the 9.3 kernel for my last install. instead I just updated to the 9.4 kernel and ran 10.5.3 for a while until i updated to 10.5.4. Have you tried that?
|
do you actively use Firewire? booting with <b>-s</b> and <b>rm</b>'ing (removing) the Firewire kexts, then <b>reboot</b> to <b>-f</b> for a forced reloading of all kexts so it recognizes the missing ones... IMO if you don't use a kext, why let your system search... get rid of it (of course you should always make a backup so you can copy it back if you've made a mistake).
|
Disable Firewire (1394) in your BIOS.
|
haha. yeah that would fix it faster. thanks Olli. :-P
|
thx 4 help..but i reinstalled everything back to 10.5.2
ill try again to update :( and ok...ill turn off 1394 :) |
