System boots only of iBoot Legacy CD

[rrusek]

I followed the tonymacx86 Sandy Bridge instructions.

After install system does not come up but only sits at Apple boot up screen.

System does boot if you use the iBoot Legacy CD.

I am running a Intel DH67BL with i7 2600.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Rob.

At the Chameleon boot prompt, press any key to get to input mode, then type:

-v

This is verbose mode, your friend From there, you can find specific issues.

I had same problem. Try this one – write this text in to com.apple.Boot.plist.
Set in BIOS hpet=64.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

OK, putting in cpus=1 and GraphicsEnabler=No allowed me to boot into single user mode.

When I try to run fsck I get the following:

** /dev/rdisk0s5
Can't initialize disk cache
/dev/tdisk0s5 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8

This only happends when I boot of the harddrive.

If I use iBoot legacy CD I can get into single user mode and run fsck and after exit system boots.

Does anyone know what options the iBoot Legacy CD use in com.apple.Boot.plist?

Thank you,
Rob
