[artur-pt]

hello

mbr or guid is partition scheme (what u talk is the write scheme for files hfs+)

google for it

but if u don't what it is , sure u have mbr partition for windows

good hack

[stomp94]

It has GUID scheme!

And it's only one partition with only MAC OSX. So no windows anymore!!

But how do I get it booted from HD without my USB?

I tried with Chameleon, but it didn't work:(

hello

i don't know why....

to boot mac os x

needs a boot loader (chameleon)

a proper smbios.plist

a org.chameleon.boot.plist

fakesmc.kext

nullcpupowermanagement.kext

see here

Here is what I did

1. I Copied the .raw file to an USB stick using SUSE Studio Image Writer.

2. I booted from the usb stick and installed MAC OS X in a new partition I made earlier

3. After OS X finished installing the missing Operating System kept appearing

4. I reformatted my windows and now when I go to the boot menu I don't know how to boot from the partition

where I installed the OS X

5. I confirmed that the partition is still there but it has no path or drive letter in windows

Of course, the partition is in the format of MAC OSX Journaled

Hello,

you are in step 3 of opening post.

 

3 - Boot the USB drive, then choose to boot the HD you just installed OS X (not the installer USB again).

[stomp94]

I've have installed Chameleon from the site you recommended, but still the same problem appears.

now I get driver fault as addition to it!

and I have installed these:

a smbios.plist in the /Extra folder to the root of HD

a org.chameleon.boot.plist in the /Extra folder to the root of HD

fakesmc.kext to /System/Library/Extensions

nullcpupowermanagement.kext to /System/Library/Extensions

I don't know what I'm doing wrong....

Para quem tem o problema de "still waiting for root device" quando usa kernelcache (ou só funciona usando -f), aplique este patch que adiciona um delay de 200 ms no início da kext IOAHCIBlockStorage, resolvendo o problema. Pls translate this

My problem now is that every time I try to boot from the hard drive where I installed the OS X it freezes at "still waiting for root device"

My specs are:

intel i3 processor

ATI video card

SATA hard drives

Does it work if you use -f or UseKernelCache=no at boot? If it does, just run the patch-ahci-mlion.pl script.

[stomp94]

I still need my USB to boot.

After I choose boot from HD I can take my USB out! But without USB I get message: No operating system found
