  1. Sorry, totally forgot to commit your system! Could you contact me on Skype? (royal_noob3). Thanks for your work on it! :)

     

    I commited it to EDP, but this topic is quite a mess. Could someone try the system with EDP?


    I need also to know which ethernet chip and audio chip you have, to add it nice to EDP. Now I putted those kexts just in the model folder instead of the generic folders.

  2. The GUID solution was only if you "Installed Chameleon" ;-). I misread it..

     

    But nice that the other method worked :). It is because myHack puts the kexts in /Extra/Extensions, but it does more to make Kernel Cache working. MyHack creates a kext in /System/Library/Extensions, called myHack.kext. In that kext all kexts (from /Extra/Extensions) are in the plugin folder, and get loaded by Kernel Cache.

     

    Quick explanation for other people, who might get the same problem ;-).

  3. Sandra, did you just run the "Install Extra" on your MBP's HDD or was it the "Create 10.x installer"?

     

    Mick, it doesn't sound like a GUID/partition issue, does it? It seems to me more like the system files are screwed up.

     

    Create 10.x installer shouldn't be possible on the OS drive, because myHack formats the drive first. You can't format the OS X drive, while booted. I think she choose Install Chameleon accidently..

     

    It is a issue with Chameleon and active partitions (I think), because she installed Chameleon on her MacBookPro.. Rebuild the GUID partition format should fix it, according to Conti (myHack).

     

    Or do you know for sure that you only choose "Install Extra"? Then it could be that myHack.kext gets loaded. Only removing the Extra folder doesn't fix it. You also need to remove the myHack.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions.

     

    Boot in -s (Single User Mode) and try this> 

     

    /sbin/mount -uw /
    rm -R /Extra
    
     
    cd /System/Library/Extensions
    rm -Rf myHack.kext
    
  4. I think you have a GUID partition layout, so you should boot an OS X installation disc. (Leopard should boot also?). If you see it's GUID, you can follow this guide, from myHack.

     

     

    GUID SOLUTION:

    1) Boot your mac with an OS X Install DVD (doesn’t matter which version, whatever is installed on your system would be best).
    2) Start Disk Utility
    3) Select the OS X HDD/SSD that you screwed up (not specific partition)
    4) Go to the Partition tab
    5) Grab the lower right corner of your key partition and resize it a little bit (no matter how much/little you resize it as long as you change the partition size)
    6) Click Apply. Relax, this will NOT erase your HDD/SSD, it only rewrites your GUID partition data that will fix your HDD/SSD.
    7) Quit the Disk Utility and reboot.
    8) Enjoy your restored Mac that should now boot normally
