[PPC] Arch tries to boot from a root partition on NFS

I just finished installing Arch on my Powerbook G4 when during boot it hangs trying to boot off of a root partition via NFS. I set my root partition as /dev/sda4 during the install process and didn't configure anything for a remote root partition. The error that I get is:
Root-NFS: no NFS server address
VFS: Unabled to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
When I press the enter button nothing happens, I followed the installation guide on the Arch wiki Install Arch Linux PPC, I had to use the older method because the newer /arch/setup failed to see me hard drive even though mac-fdisk could see it.

Any ideas?

I am having problems trying to boot from my Windows XP startup disk.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! I upgraded my MacBook Pro 17inch laptop for a larger hard drive. I had my MAC and Windows XP partitions re-installed but I am not able to boot from Windows XP partition. I can see both operation systems in the system preferences of the STARTUP DISK section but when I shutdown my computer and hold down the OPTION key there is no WINDOWS XP icon. I keep getting the error message: NO BOOTABLE DEVICE. INSERT BOOT DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY.
I have a very important project to complete this Friday and all of my files are on my PC partition. Could someone please help me to figure out how to get my PC drive to start rebooting? I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks!

Feel like wasting several hours? Try installing Windows XP with Boot Camp 2.0 (the version released as part of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard) using NTFS, the file system required for partitions larger than 32 GB. Then watch as it fails miserably, again and again.
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
Sound familiar? You didn’t do anything wrong—this is actually Apple’s fault. Hal.dll, the “hardware abstraction layer”, doesn’t have any particular significance; it just happens to be the first file that Windows looks for as it’s loading. Attempting to replace this file with the copy on disk won’t work, and your boot.ini is probably fine.
So how do you fix it, then? The solution is a bit involved, but not too bad all things considered. Here are the steps:
If you haven’t already removed the bad installation, you’ll need to do so. In OS X, open Boot Camp, click Continue, select “Create or remove a Windows partition”, click Continue, and then click Restore.
Create a new partition as you did before, and start the installation.
After the computer has rebooted and it’s booted from the CD, type “R” to go to the console. You should be dumped to the C:\ prompt.
We’re going to reformat the drive as NTFS ourselves instead of letting the Windows installer do it. Type the following and hit Return:
format c: /q /fs:ntfs
Then type this to reboot the computer:
exit
Hold Option after it restarts, then boot to the Windows installation CD again (I believe it boots to the CD by default at this point, but this is just to be sure).
Install to C: (be careful not to select your OS X volume!), but—and this is important—choose NOT to reformat. Leave the file system as is.
Continue the installation process as you would normally.
That’s it! If things went well, the lovely 256-color Windows logo should load and you’ll be looking at Napa Valley in no time.

External Hard Drive Not recognized when trying to boot from it.

So I am trying to boot from my external hard drive through firewire but my computer doesn't seem to recognize the external. There is some problem with my Macbook not booting up correctly and I want to backup my data before reinstalling Tiger. They did this at the Apple store and ran disk utility on it my Macbooks hard drive. I could access all my data, but now when I get home and plug in my hard drive, hold down option after booting, the only drive that pops up is the Mac HD. I read somewhere to try partitioning the external drive as Mac Journaled and I did so with my working Macbook Pro. Any ideas whats going on?

Well i got most of my information off the old one, now I am trying to reinstall Tiger to the MacBook. Problem is I initially tried to do an archive install and the install kept failing after the second disc when it asked for the second install disc.
The people at the Apple store suggested that I try to do a wipe of the hard drive and install. Now when I put in the Disc 1 install disc and boot from the cd drive it just sits for a while and then ejects disc 1 and goes back to the place where the install failed from before ie: it keeps asking for the second install disc.
I can't figure out a way to get around this and just do a clean install on the machine. Any thoughts would be great.

Mac Pro trying to boot from external drive instead of HD?

my osx was recently reinstalled at the Genius Bar due to a boot problem caused by a power outage. Now if i want to boot up
i have to unplug time machine first; it is possibly trying to boot from the external drive till i unplug it. What should I do?

I would have:
not let you go home without also buying
a 1500VA UPS
a new system drive
other drives as needed
start with a clean install of the OS to a new drive
Clone your system when you do get a good install and update (Apple only)
then clone again when you have all your apps in place
Don't assume anything works, in fact assume nothing will for now.

Thank you.

How did you get a Lion OSX install disc? They don't exist. Do you mean the gray disks that came with your 2007 MacBook?
If you mean the gray disks, try starting up with the "c" key held down.
What version of OSX is on your MacBook now? Have you tried booting from the Recovery partition?

When no CD in drive bios tries to boot from NIC??

I have homed in on my issue re: "invalid partition" problems upon boot. The situation is:
When Bios (K8N Neo2 Plat bios v 1.1) set to boot from Floppy, then CD, then HDD, AND WITH a CD in the drive, I get a good boot into XP Pro SP1.
If no CD in drive, or if bios set to boot sequence floppy, HDD, CD...I get no boot and a message that I have found all over the net but with no real resolution:
"For Realtek RTL81108/8169(S or 5...can't read my own writing) Gigabit Eathernet Controller beta v1.00 (030811)
Client MAC ADDR (whole lot of numbers) GUID FFFF....FFFF (whole lot of Fs)
PXE-E53: no boot file name recived
PXE-M0F: Exsiting PXE-ROM
Invalid Partition Table"
Now...what the heck is going on? I have read that this would seem to indicate the bios trying to boot from a network, but none of my bios settings indicate that. I've tried disabling Gigabit Ethernet in bios as well since I'm a home user and 10/100 is plenty, but no impact.
For now, I can just keep a CD in the drive but this is rediculous. ANy suggestions? Is this an issue with MSI bios 1.1 or Realtek Ethernet driver (I supposedly have the most recent verison, dated Aug 04)...???
Thanks in advance for nay inputs,

lol... I'll go ahead and tell you. I was getting all those weird errors.... saying files were corrupt and such. I noticed that in the bios it was reading my CD-RW drive as Slave and wasn't recognizing my DVD drive at all. So... I put the jumper for the DVD Drive on Master.... popped in the Windows XP CD and everything worked fine.
It's a long shot, but looks like he had a jumper wrong, and it fooled the BIOS into booting from a network.
Sounds to me like something is fooling yours.
You can get that error with RIS, but XP doesn't have RIS as such.
GUID FFFF....FFFF (whole lot of Fs) is the GUID of your firewire.
Like a NIC has a MAC address, a firewire port has a GUID. (lots of digits, more than a MAC)

So what you want is to be able to boot from OS X and retrieve your files
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Of course if it's not booting up, it's easier to fix in place

...so I am trying to boot from a USB recovery drive but when I select it nothing happens it just goes to the restore options
"Recovery HD" is a partition on your boot drive which you option or commnad r key held at boot time to get into and then repair the Macintish HD partition.
If you have this on a external USB thumb drive, then that's all it is, no OS X, programs or files.
If your talking a USB external drive, it has to be a OS X bootable clone made with Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and the option key held at boot time gives you that boot option.
Most commonly used backup methods
So what your saying is you have a external clone and by holding the option key down at boot all you get is it directly going to Recovery HD?
There is no Startup Manager option to choose what to boot from?
This could mean Apple changed something, or your external bootable clone isn't one, or the wrong software used so it's not being recognized by Startup Manager as a bootable option.
What did you use to make the external OS X USB bootable drive?

Computer tries to boot from VirtualBench

My computer always tries to boot from VirtualBench on restart. I get a black screen with the cursor blinking. If I unplug VirtualBench on restart, no problems. How can make VirtualBench non bootable?
Thanks,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I ran into a similar problem on my Dell machine. I was able to work around the problem by going into the BIOS options and disabling booting from USB mass storage devices. Machine boots without problem now.

IMac always tries to boot from CD

Hi,
i installed Windows XP using BootCamp and since then the system always tries to boot from a CD. Now I have to hold down COMMAND while starting the computer to choose the harddrive.
How can I make the system boot from the harddrive automatically?
Thanks

Hold down on the option key on restart.
Choose the mac os x volume icon and then click on the straight arrow.
Once booted into Leopard select system preferences from the apple menu.
Choose Startup Disk and set the volume you want to boot to on startup.
The option key allows you to boot to any volume without changing the default setting.
The Startup Disk preference allows you to set the default startup volume.

Can't boot from OS X partition

My Macmini can't boot from the OS X partition, but when i try to boot using the windows partition it works just fine. I've also tried to boot from the instalation dvd but it doesn't work either. When i turn it on, right after the gray apple appears it shuts down. Is there anything i can do besides formating the entire HD?

Your question seems to be a MS Windows question. If you use Boot Camp then post there. If you use Parallels or another virtualtization app to run Windows please post in those forums. Most users on this forum don't use Windows, some do but most do not.
Best of luck.

Trying to boot from an external hard drive - drive not recognized at boot

I am trying to upgrade my Operating system. I am going from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6.

To backup my existing environment I bought Seagate Free Agent GoFlex 500GB for PC and Mac. USB 3.0 but backward comaptible to USB 2.0 which is what my laptop is. The system requirements included support for 10.4.11. I attached the drive to my lap top and used disk utility to format to Mac Extended OS (journaled). It recognized the drive immediately.
I used SuperDuper 2.6.4 to copy all files to the external drive. It seemed to copy just fine. It said it made the drive bootable. TO test it, I shutdown the system and started it back up with the option key pressed, but it only gave me my original HD as a choice to boot from. When the system came up, it didn't recognize the external drive. I unplugged the drive and re attached it and it seemed to recognize it, I trued to reboot again and it doesn't recognize the hard drive on reboot. Only when I un attach and reattach it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I haven't forgotten, it just takes forever to get to a result when backing up an entire system.
So here's what I did. I agree with this idea:
Limnos wrote:
mac-sales.com I mentioned above is the OWC Ogelthorpe uses.
I suspect StartupDisk is seeing a nicely mounted drive connected in a bootable interface (USB) with all the needed files (palced there by SuperDuper). However, what it doesn't know if that drive isn't really accessible until the computer has properly booted because the chipset doesn't work without full system support. This is not at all unusual in external drives. Many years ago you really has to insist upon having an Oxford chipset in an enclosure to guarantee booting, but for general backup use any chipset was fine.

I moved everything from the Lacie to the SEaget - at least is it will be useful for something!
Erased the Lacie, partitioned it to 2 partitions.
Formnatted the partition GUID as suggested. I had named the partition for the backup something cutre like 10.4.11 OS clone.
Used Disk Utility>Restore to backup/clone the environment.
During the backup, it renamed the partition Macintosh HD, which was encouraging. After waiting a very long time for the backup, I was able to try to test booting from it and received many diagnostic errors including permission type errors, some of the files in /etc did not beloing to root. I have a couple of things I am going to try but thought I'd throw it out here since you guys have kept me pointed in the right direction.
Any more ideas as to why the drive won' t boot? Did I not give the partition enough space? Is it the chipset thing?

"Missing Operating System" when trying to boot from USB

I have a macbook air (3,2), and I'm trying to install Arch onto the partition that currently has Ubuntu. I have tried a few different ways to get the Arch core iso onto the usb key drive, but no matter what I do, I am ending up with the message "Missing Operating System" when I boot into it.
I started out using the instructions from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media for writing it on OSX, using diskutil unMount, then the dd with bs=8192, and of=/dev/disk2
When that didn't work, I tried booting into my ubuntu install, and used just a plain
sudo dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdb
Still no luck, so then I went to my old standby of unetbootin, which didn't do any better. I just tried yet again with the dd in ubuntu, and I'm still not having any luck.
Here's some of the relevant info I could find:
$ sudo dd if=Downloads/archlinux-2011.08.19-core-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb

One interesting thing I noticed was that the dd took about 10 minutes in mac osx, and under 2 seconds in linux. That seemed like a pretty big difference between the two systems, but I'm not sure if that's related to the batch size on the write, or to the implementation of dd used in OSX.
Is there something obvious I'm missing? I know the computer is able to boot from this key drive because I was able to boot an Ubuntu livecd from it just a few days ago. Unfortunately, the MBA won't boot from my external cd/dvd drive because it's not the apple brand super-drive, and I don't want to spend the money for a super-drive, so a cd-based install isn't an option.
Really looking forward to playing with Arch, because some of my friends recommended it to me highly. I'm a former gentooer (years ago) who became fed-up with installing *everything* from source. I can't stand ubuntu doing everything for me, and debian always seemed so far behind the curve on everything, so Arch seems like the perfect OS if I can just get into the installer. :)
Thanks so much!
~Maquis

Oh, forgot to mention, I did the dd from ubuntu with both bs=4M and without a bs argument. the version without the bs argument is the one that went really fast.
Neither version would boot, so I don't think that the way I'm writing it is the problem.
I did just notice that if I just do a sudo fdisk -l without specifying the drive, I have 2 entries for my drive:

Startup Manager arrows but no drives (trying to boot from ext

Today my old eMac (ppc 10.4.11) that I will replace soon froze up and will boot only to a grey screen. I tried safe-boot and pram reset to no avail. I had earlier made a clone of the eMac drive* and would like to boot from that (via firewire). I option start up I'll get to the blue Startup Manager with the 2 arrows, a spinning wristwatch but no drive icon. Eventually the wristwatch stops spinning.
I also tried to hook up a stand-alone dvd drive** (tried the firewire 1st, then the USB port)port) with the original eMac install dvd but get the same result as the external boot clone. (arrows, a spinning wristwatch but no drive icon.)
Any ideas on what to do to revive this eMac before I toss it out?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
*This clone is old-ish, I think I'm pretty well backed up on recent files but would really like to do another review before I throw the eMac in the garbage.
**Don't know how to force open the dvd tray

Hold Mouse button down at boot to open the tray.
Seems the internal drive is bad & likely preventing recognizing the FW drive, but is the FW drive spinning up? try hitting the 3/4 circle arrow to have it look again for drives.

Black screen with blinking cursor while trying to boot from Win Install CD

I'm running Leopard with all updates on a brand new MacBook Pro.
I initially had no problems with Boot Camp - the Assistant partitioned my drive, I put in my Vista DVD and hit Start Installation and the MacBook rebooted from the Windows DVD just fine. I made a mistake, however, when I used my retail Leopard disc instead of the install DVDs from my new MacBook, so the wrong drivers got installed and things were a mess. It wasn't painful setting up Boot Camp, so I decided I'd just go back into Leopard, wipe the Windows partition, and retry.
The Boot Camp Assistant had no problem merging the boot camp partition back with the main one, then making a new boot camp partition (I'm not sure if this was necessary, but I did it). I then put in my Vista DVD again and hit Start Installation. The MacBook rebooted, but not into the DVD - it just sat at the black screen with the blinking cursor in the top left corner. After 10 minutes of nothing, I held the power button to shut the MacBook down and tried again - same thing. I booted back into Leopard and tried Start Installation again - same problem. I remerged the boot camp partition, restarted the MacBook, then made a new partition and tried the Vista DVD - again just that blinking cursor.
What went wrong and how do I fix it?

Try resetting the PMU. See link here.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7188736
I tried everything mentioned previously (in this thread AND the link thread) and the PMU reset (shutdown, pull out power cord and other cords, wait 30 seconds, plug back in and restart) let me continue to install windows after partitioning the HD. Good luck!

Macbook Pro crashes while trying to boot from install disc

I have a 2.6GHz 17" Intel C2D MacbookPro running 10.6.6
Over the last few weeks I been experiencing numerous crashes, often while watching flash video. It freezes, the screen distorts and flashes and I have to reboot holding the power button.
Most times I can't turn it back on, it just won't get past the boot up stage. I generally try and boot from the install disc and/or another computer via firewire target mode, run permissions, disc warrior etc and eventually it will boot on it's own accord.
Now it won't even boot to the install disc. (the 10.5.2 disc that came with the computer)
It just crashes, screen dims and the 4 language warning asks me to hold down the power button.
I do notice that usually when you get these crashes that the background is a solid grey. but these times it's a speckled white and grey?
Is my graphics card on the way out (or out already)
Here's the crash logs from the last 2 crashes when I've got it to boot again.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Best regards
Jesse

On the hand, I took it in to my local apple store. They rang me back this morning and said it that I need to replace the logic board. Which apparently also comprises the video card.
Yes, thus the link to the NVIDIA issue. NVIDIA is the maker of the GPU ("video card").
The quoted me $1000! I'm pretty bummed I need to spend that much on a 2 yr old machine. You should be able to expect more life than that.
If you're content to pay the $1000, no need to ask them to run the test for the NVIDIA issue. If you're not content, I would certainly ask them. Provide the link if they're unaware of it.
My only viable option is to buy the part off eBay and put it in myself.
Or have them test for NVIDIA issue. Or ask about a depot repair for $310.
