i have no idea what i am supposed to do with that.

what i need is a boot loader that actually works.

intel core 2 duo 2.33 ghtz ati raedon HD 2400. my thernet works fine. the problem i amm having is with installing a boot loader that works. multibeast reports it is installed but then it doesn't boot.

A failure to boot could be down to a number of reasons, hardware compatibility or wrong MultiBeast options are two examples. Can you boot using -x -v

 

[deidreindc]

i dont get any options to add any options because after installing multibeast and using the esay beast option, i dont get to see the boot loader beacause it doesn't load

The boot loader works. Thousands of people have used it with similar hardware - it is tried and tested. What HDD/SSD are you using? Please give exact make model - trying to figure if you are using a 4k drive that gets the boot0 error with a traditional boot loader.

Just black screen? Does the monitor power off/lose signal. Can you get to the BIOS again?

Just sayin'

Try this in the short term. Boot using iBoot and reinstall Snow Leopard. Download and install 10.6.8 combo update but this time don't apply MultiBeast.

You can in the short term boot using iBoot.

 

[deidreindc]

Yes I know I can boot with iBoot in the short term. The problem I was having is with the boot loaders. That's what I'm asking for help with.

so to bypass the 4k issue I reinserted the old 80 gig clunker of a hdd. It installed and multibeast installed correctly and was able to boot up the new install.

thanks for helping me understand the 4k issue. I do have a system that boots now and that was the goal. Thank you for your help.



an unfortunate consequence of the correct multibeast install is that my Ethernet stopped woking. I posted a new thread for that elsewhere.

Please have ave a great day.
