juliuscaesar Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pernacabeluda Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 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).

pernacabeluda Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 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" Does it work if you use -f or UseKernelCache=no at boot? If it does, just run the patch-ahci-mlion.pl script.

mhprol Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Heya! Make sure you've set your BIOS Controller setting to AHCI (you might need a custom BIOS for this in some older motherboards). Also make sure the partition you created is a Primary partition, not a Logical partition, and that it is the Active partition. (you can use Parted Magic to make sure it's correctly configured, it's free and very easy to use http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=start) Good luck!

It translates to: "For those who have the 'still waiting for root device' when using kernelcache (or that only work when using -f), apply this patch to add a 200ms delay when loading the IOAHCIBlockStorage kext, thus solving the problem. Basically, just install the updated patch posted there and reboot. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexannder12 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hello I tried NPCI = 0x2000 and 0x3000 and continues rebooting before beginning installation. I do not understand the kext. Where I have to put it? Because in the pendrive Windows will not let me put anything else, just gives me the option to format to not recognize the format. Greetings and thanks.

mhprol Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ACPI gives me error and restarts before beginning installation. Attached image of failure. What I can do? Hey alexannder, Your boot is failing right after attempting to read the kext(driver) cache. You can either remove it using Transmac (delete Extra/Extensions.mkext and System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext) or use "-f" during boot to ignore the cache and see if it gets through. @prashanthzz @stomp94 @Mko.rocco Guys, boot using "-v" (verbose mode) and post a picture of the system when it halts. If it still reboots during verbose mode without giving you a moment to see what went wrong, use "-v Wait=Yes" Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
