Hi,
I updated EDP this afternoon and since doing this, EDP now errors stating "Could not open input file: bin/edp.php" and I get a power off your machine message about 5 minutes or so after booting.
Everything was fine before I ran the update...is there an easy fix or am I looking at a rebuild?
I'm running Lion 10.7.5 on a Dell D630 with GMA 1280x800 graphics.
Regards
John

After posting my update earlier the keyboard started playing up in Windows too which had me worrying that it was a hardware issue after all...popped the keyboard to make sure I hadn't dislodged the motherboard connection when I upgraded the memory and when I restarted everything was working again.

Hi Hervé,
Thanks for the advice - I set the partition active but that didn't seem to make any difference.
I booted into OS X using the myHack USB and re-ran the 10.6.8 Combo Update and then re-ran EDP and installed the predifined config for my machine and this seems to have got me booting without the USB.
I don't seem to be having much luck with this though as now my keyboard has a mind of it's own - some keys it recognises, some it doesn't and it now seems to repeat charachters as though I have my finger permanently on a key. Everything was working fine before I shut the laptop down last night but since starting it up this morning it's lost its marbles.
The keyboard is working fine in Windows so doesn't seem like a hardware fault...I've got an old USB keyboard from an iMac plugged in to get around the problem at the minute but this isn't any use for OS X on the move.
Does this sound like an easy fix or do I need to be looking at re-installing SL?
Cheers
John

OK, n00b alert...
I've finally put my brave boots on and decided to get my trusty D620 dualbooting SL 10.6.8 and Windows 7 Ultimate - everything was going fine until I got Windows installed
I started out following the 'Dualbooting OSX and Windows' guide and got myself a lovely working install of SL 10.6.8 complete with sound and wifi so set about installing Window 7 Ultimate...now I've done that I can't boot into SL without booting from the myHack USB stick.
I've installed Chameleon in OS X using EDP but now everytime I try booting without the USB stick I can boot Windows from Chameleon without any problem but if I choose OS X then I just get the Chameleon background and the machine locks up.
I guess I've stuffed something up with bootloader but no idea what...it's probably going to be something really straight forward to fix but I haven't got a clue.
I'm running:
- Latitude D620 (GMA 1280 x 800)
- Core Duo 1.66GHz (T2300)
- 2GB PC2-5300 RAM
- 250GB Seagate ST250LM000 (partitioned equally for OS X/Windows)
- Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN
Any help would be much appreciated...
Cheers
John

Thanks Bronxteck, finally got it going again using the installer pen...tried the "normal" re-install first but the machine locked up mid way through and then just got KP on boot.
