cirlce with line error
If anyone can please help me with this i am at a total block here.. Here's my problem...
Ok, first i followed step by step tut on "Install Snow Leopard 10.6 on AMD PC Hackintosh" Then the chameleon rc3 bootloader loads up and i hit enter on the "Snow" icon. After that it loads to the apple screen and the spinning circle is loading. about 50 sec. later a circle with a slash appears right above the apple logo. I am lost. I have no idea what i need to do in order to fix this so i can run snow leopard!!! I set my bios up correct from what i read. Right now i have leopard and xp on sata hdd and ide hdd trying to run snow leopard with sata dvd drive. Heres my specs: mobo: m2n-sli deluxe chip: athlon 64 x2 4800+ vcard: xfx 8800gt 512mb mem: 2gigs corsair xms2 sound: ADI AD1988B lan: Marvell 88E1116 let me know if i need to give out more info.. thanks!! |
when cham rc3 loads, hit enter immediately to stop countdown, and type
-v and then hit enter again to load snow. tell us what the error is, cause right now it's pretty vague |
There is nothing on the screen thats point out whats wrong with it. It just has this pic---------> http://www.majotphotography.com/Test...5/DSC_4170.JPG
this is a sample off google pics not on my pc.. Unless if i wait for a while and something might show up because the circle thing still spins... |
one more thing. In order for me to reboot and get back to xp, 10.5.6 leopard, etc.. I have to reset my board by taking out the battery.. lol I'm not sure whats going on.. This is only when i reboot after i get that error from the pic i last posted.

Ok I have pics of the error when i go to -v mode. first 2 pics are the top half and bottom half of my errors and the 3rd pic is when i have to clear the cmos.

"Still waiting for root device" is your problem.
Osx isn't able to see any hard drive, which is why it's not booting, why it is showing the circle with a line through it. first guess is you don't have a applenforceata.kext installed (since you have an nforce motherboard). put it in /System/Extensions/Library right? |
I think that might be the prob. i'll take a look when i get home but im sure i dont have that in there. i thought you add all the kext in extra/extensions?
|
ok i put the AppleNForceATA.kext in the /System/Extensions folder and when i reboot and load up snow this is what i get:

|
no i am using the mach_kernel.test7 do i need to use that kernel in the link. if so is there any special install instructions like changing the name or the apple.boot.plist file?
