I have my customac up and running. cheers.
I have the recommended components in here.
At this point I have a few questions:
USB3 doesn't work. I have seen references to that in this thread, but can't remember seeing a fix. Can it be fixed without the tuneup. I'm a bit leary of that. I...
Well, I swapped out the hard drive for one in my pc. That allowed me to get past the mach_kernal error.
I got unibeast to load, finally got to the installer screen and installed Lion.
rebooted and selected Lion on the Chimera screen. I'm thinking good things are happening.
I needed to...
I bought all the components off the links for the Customac mini.
I tried last weekend to get this running. Loaded SL and then tried to upgrade to Lion from a CD. Always hangs at the "loading operating system" screen. Would no longer boot to SL with iboot. hangs at the same place.
So I...

iboot says mach_kernal error...
After the iboot spinning cursor, I get an error message.
Ran it several times to be able to read it.
reading Ramdisk image: extra preboot.dmg
no ramdisk config
mounting: done
I tried to go into safe mode, but can't seem to find the right syntax.
the error about the mach_kernal maybe...
Well, issues already.
I checked the bios, still correct.
when I boot with iboot, it shows iboot and snow leopard. snow leopard starts to load then restarts the computer. iboot says "can't find mach_kernal"
when I try to reinstall my original snow leopard cd, it hangs:

Hi:
Trying my first customac build. Finally got to the mac osx 10.6.8 update combo install.
then I get:
"3) I can't get 10.6.8 Combo update/Multibeast trick to work - update gets into very last phase - most likely replace the mach_kernel and then the multilanguage message about having to...
