Thanks, how do you clone back over ? Through disc utility when using the Lion Installer ?

Hey Guys I am currently running a very, very smooth install on the following: OSX 10.7.2 Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz ASUS P5K-VM GeForce 9600 GT 512 M (Using DVI Out) 300 GB SATA HD (MBR Format with W7 Partition and OSX 10.7.2 Partition booting with Chameleon) TP-Link USB Wifi using Ralink...

So I tried updating to 10.6.8 and it broke my OSX lol After a lot of heavy reading on insanelymac and osx86 I have downloaded a patched kernel that promises to fix the problem I have two questions: 1. Can I replace the mach_kernel with my new taptun_kernel (placed on desktop after initial...

So I sussecfully installed OSX 10.6.7 however upon updating to 10.6.8 I get immediate kernel panic, even after using every conceivable combination of boot flags, including: Cpus=1 Busration=18 PCIRoot=1 Maxmem=2048 -x -v -s etc etc After a lot of heavy reading on insanelymac and osx86 I have...

The issue i am having is that even after using multibeast, I can' boot OSX without the iboot legacy disc. Any suggestions ?

Correction, it is not booting from HDD, I must have the iboot Legacy disc in for it to boot. I also forgot to clarify I must use the flag PCIRoot each time I boot my OSX partition, even after install. Any help on those points is appreciated. Thanks

Firstly, thanks to Breiti3000 for his constant help and suggestions over the last few days!!! Let me start by saying I got OSX 10.6.7 installed via iboot Legacy-OSX-Multibeast and it appears stable and it is booting off the HD perfectly. Here is what I did for it to finally work! Prep...

Update: Created a 20GB Partition, formatted to HFS+ in GParted. iboot Legacy, then got the OSX Install. Used Disc utility and formatted the partition I created to Mac Journal etc. Installed, then just before it finished it suddenly rebooted and wouldn't re-start. Tried booting with the...

Also, what do you mean by formatting with 4k, sorry if I am just experiencing some brain freeze.

That sounds promising. How do I remove the video kexts ? Is the new bootloader a new version of iboot, or other ? I found the older legacy version is what actually got the install completed, however following the install, it wouldn't boot.

Sounds like you need to flatten it, unless there are some pros here that no something else, but it sounds like it's toast. If you tried rebuilding your MBR and BCD and it won't boot or restore, I would say it's corrupted beyond repair.

Good luck.

Download Gparted, burn the iso, bootfrom the disc. Select every partition other than your restore and delete them so it's unallocated space. Then do your restore, should work a treat. Don't format anything as NTFS, just leave the non restore partitions blank. It will rename the system...

Mine too a few hours, hang in there, it's a great board too.

Looks like a total reformat, that sucks!

Also yes, it looks as though DV7 has been done succesfully.

Try going to windows restore panel and then prompt and try To repair the Master Boot Record of the boot disk: fixmbr To write a new partition boot sector to the system partition: fixboot To rebuild the boot.ini configuration file: bootcfg /rebuild

As in boot flags ? No, tried almost all of them. If there is another way, I have no idea. I reformatted and restored my W7, so I need to start again (which is fine), if you have another idea.

Would you mind giving me a more detailed explanation of what I should do. I spent three hours fixing my MBR and restoring my W7 lol, so I am now a bit gun shy. The weird thing is the OSX installation went really smoothly with iboot legacy, but once it was installed it wouldn't open. I saw...
