| Post subject: | MOLK install issues |
I have MOLK booting its kenal fine up to the point I think it should boot my Tiger DVD. It stops and I cann see just before the partition I added in the config about my dvd rom drive not being found or something. It says something like open /dev/cdrom: no such file or directory. What do I need to do in the config to make it boot from my dvd so I can install Tiger??? |

Hi, Acill! Where is your dvd-drive attached? The molrc.osx config assumes that it's on the 2nd ide-bus (ie. either hdc or hdd). If you have it on 1st bus edit molrc.osx and replace in one of the blkdev: /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd lines the hdX with your settings... I assume you added "--cdboot" in mol/script/start-misc: line "/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/startmol -X" good luck so far! |

I think my DVD drive it attached on the 1st IDE port as slave with my main linux drive as the master. I am not 100% sure though and would need to look when I get home tonight. As for the script I am not sure I quite understand that? I need more info on it. If I were to post my settings files and tell you where all my drives are would it help you to get it right? I am attempting to put OS X on hda2 which is a 10GB partition on my drive on the primary master IDE. Before that I have a 1GB boot partition as hda1. Does that pose any problems? I was told as long as I use a partition within the first 8GB of a drive it would be fine. |

Acill The script that needs to be edited is in the /mol directory on your boot drive - well actually /mol/molrc.osx afaik obviously its primary ide hda (master) hdb (slave) Secondary hdc (Master) hdd(Slave) iirc magnetic PS We added --cdboot to the start-misc script oh and Frostwork I thought a new version was coming out??

Okay, I know that one. I was wondering about the other one you menioned we changed so thats good to go then.The script that needs to be edited is in the /mol directory on your boot drive - well actually /mol/molrc.osx Quote:
obviously its primary ide hda (master) hdb (slave) Secondary hdc (Master) hdd(Slave) iirc
So whats the proper line to edit and type out for a dvd drive on primary slave and where so I put it? Does it go below the line we put hda2 at? I still need to format to type. I think I am so damn close to getting it working and the only thing left is the boot from dvd so I can install it part.

Acill You have to edit the cdrom line in molrc.osx - if you read the commented out lines you can figure it out - replace the /dev/cdrom with /dev/hdX (your device as stated previous) iirc btw DVD install may not work as said in another thread. I think I told you this when you first tried it, I seemed to remember this from somewhere else. Also, you can email Frostwork he is cool and helpful |

Well I got a bit further this time, but still no luck on getting the Tiger DVD to boot up. At the end of the MOL boot process here is what is printed just before it stops at the bash prompt. CD /dev/hdd cd/dvd <read only> ------Boot1 DISK /dev/hda2 <rw> 1019 SCSI Devices: <No SCSI Devices> ioctl: CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS invalid argument ioctl: CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS invalid argument >>===================================================== Mac OSX Boot Loader 0.9.70 [96MB memory map patch] >> SMC Read Error >> SMC Read Error >>--> Boot Loader Failure: No Bootlble Disk Found And here is my setting in MOLK # MOL will boot from CD if it invoked through 'startmol -X --cdboot'. blkdev: /dev/hdd -cd ${cdboot} ifempty ${altconfig} { # default configuration blkdev: /dev/hda2 -rw -force #blkdev: /dev/hdb -rw #blkdev: /dev/sda -rw #blkdev: /dev/sdb -rw #blkdev: /dev/hdc -cd blkdev: /dev/hdd -cd } else { # alternate configuration blkdev: /tmp/osx.image -rw #blkdev: /dev/loop0 -rw # any non-HFS partitions).

Hi! @Acill: >I think my DVD drive it attached on the 1st IDE port as slave If you're sure about that replace blkdev: /dev/hdd -cd with blkdev: /dev/hdb -cd in your molrc.osx! This should be enough... @magnetic: > oh and Frostwork I thought a new version was coming out?? It doesn't make much sense atm... > you can email Frostwork he is cool and helpful You're absolutely right

It didnt work. I still get "Fatal Error: Unballanced IF in molrc.osx" I must have typed something out of format in the script. Do you see anything wrong? I cant tell what the problem is |

Acill This "unbalanced" is because you screwed up the text file with your text editor  - the lines are misplaced... I think this is where the prob lies:Quote: blkdev: /dev/hdb -cd ${cdboot}
ifempty ${altconfig} { # default configuration blkdev: /dev/hda2 -rw -force blkdev: /dev/hdb -rw #blkdev: /dev/sda -rw #blkdev: /dev/sdb -rw #blkdev: /dev/hdc -cd # blkdev: /dev/hdd -cd I'm in linux now so cant look but you can always extract the original file and compare it to your fubar one!  mag PS I have my cd / dvd working but havent tried to boot the tiger dvd.. |

Well I booted the dvd, discovered hda2 was actually only 1GB not 10GB and as luck would have it hda3 (debian) was 9GB and now its installing as I type this! I giess in another 30 mins I will see if it works or not. EDIT: Well it installed, but it wont boot to OSX now that its done. I went through the installer and it completed just fine. I reboot and type "boot molk" at the OF prompt and it hangs at the penguin hugging the apple logo. If I put the dvd in and reboot it will load the dvd. What do I do to get it to boot? SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Only no firewire? and what Ethernet is supported on the PEg II by default? I cant get on the net. I have an 8139 card I use, I tried the via rhine, I looked in start-misc and think i need to edit that, but i have no idea. My router GW is 192.168.1.1 and its set to do DHCP. Please help! I am so close to a perfect install now. |

@acill Yay! Glad it worked. What type of fw device did you try? You have to config it as a "scsi" device. If you want to call me tomorrow you can about it. magnetic |
