Same for me as well:

localhost OSInstaller[244]: ./postinstall: cp: 
/Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdt.dsl:
No such file or directory

FYI installing on a Acer AspireRevo 1600-U910H USFF Atom 230

As an extra note as per my initial entry:
Notice the incorrect spelling in output:
'OSInstaller[241]: ./postinstall: cp: /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdl.dsl: No 
such file or directory'

Maybe has something to do with "latest_dsdL.dsl" might need to output 
"latest_dsdT.dsl" instead?

Ditto with the Asus 1000HE.  I've tried 0.8.3 with SL 10.6.0, as well as 0.8.4 
RC1 with 10.6.3.  Error message:
'OSInstaller[241]: ./postinstall: cp: /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdl.dsl: No 
such file or directory'

I finally figured out that I could quite the installer once this line appears 
in the log, reboot, and select the newly 
installed OSX drive from Chameleon.  OSX boots up from the HDD.  I ran NBI, but 
it hung on 'generating system 
specific dsdt.aml'.  Force Quit and reopening worked to install chameleon and 
generic extensions.  I can now 
boot straight to OSX without USB.

Exactly the same problem here on my Eee PC 1008HA.  Using NetbookBootMaker 
0.8.4 RC1
with Snow Leopard 10.6 retail install DVD I am seeing the same "./postinstall: 
cp:
/Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdt.dsl: No such file or directory" error.

What happens is the install progress bar gets to around 98% and states around 
10 mins
to go and progresses no further.  Looking at the Installer log file shows this 
error
repeated in an infinite loop.

As mjevange mentions, is this just a typo in "latest_dsd*l*.dsl"?

This Issue appears to be a duplicate of #178 and #231.

When I try to run NBI I get this error in the console:

6/17/10 11:42:09 
AM  [0x0-0x16016].com.meklort.NetbookInstaller[177] /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_
dsdl.dsl: No such file or directory

Notice it's dsdL and not dsdT

I did a quick sudo cp latest_dsdt.dsl latest_dsdl.dsl and the error in the 
console stopped but NBI just hangs now. 

I think there is a Typo for Unsupported Systems, can anyone else confirm?

1000HE having same problems for me as well.  It does appear ok if I restart, 
boot with USB, select my harddrive, then run NBI.  Can't do the generate dsdt 
either from netbook installer.

Same problem in Mini 110-1025DX

Original comment by ppaul...@gmail.com on 21 Jun 2010 at 6:40

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This is a really simple issue. There's a typo in line 741 of 
DSDT_Patcher/main.c (and the same typo in line 602 of 
NetbookInstaller/DSDTPatcher.m). The cp command on both should be copying 
latest_dsd*t*.dsl, but it's currently trying to copy the (nonexistent) file 
latest_dsd*l*.dsl.

This is breaking DSDT patching on unsupported systems (most popular one being 
the 1005HA).

Can we get a quick fix on this, please?

You can download the NBI084RC1 image from the dropbox link on this web site: 
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-10v-mac-os-x-discussion/20529-hackinto
sh-problems-10-6-3-a-2.html  and use hexedit.exe to fix the three typos.  If 
you boot off of a flash drive with this hex edited image, you get further, but 
you still get some error messages and the ultimately a hang.

If you reboot with the edited image and select the local drive to boot from, 
you "complete" the installation, but I'm not sure what NBI might have wanted to 
do if it completed normally.

Once the install is complete, you can use the standard netbookinstaller to put 
chameleon on your local drive to make it bootable.

Ok I did find the OSX version for HexEdit Here: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hexedit/files/HexEdit/HexEdit%20v2.20/HexEdit_22
0.dmg/download

Edited this files: (replaced dsdl w/ dsdt)
NetbookInstaller 0.8.4 
RC1/Contents/Resources/SupportFiles/DSDTPatcher/DSDTPatcher

Next I ran the patched NetbookInstaller (NBI084RC1 image from the dropbox link 
on this web site: 
http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/dell-mini-10v-mac-os-x-discussion/20529-hackinto
sh-problems-10-6-3-a-2.html).

Opened the Console and could see the same error, file not found due to the dsdl 
instead of dsdt. So I opened up the terminal to see if I could just change the 
name of the file that was misspelled. 

1- Open Terminal
2- sudo su
3- enter password
4- cd /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/
5- mv latest_dsdt.dsl latest_dsdl.dsl

NBI finished installing, rebooted and now able to boot from the hard drive

You can fix the ".dsdl" bugs in "NetbookBootMaker 0.8.4 RC1.app.zip" or 
"NetbookInstaller 0.8.4 RC1.app.zip" by doing the following:

1. Unzip "NetbookBootMaker 0.8.4 RC1.app.zip" or "NetbookInstaller 0.8.4 
RC1.app.zip" to an OSX desktop
2. tar up the "NetbookBootMaker 0.8.4 RC1.app" or "NetbookInstaller 0.8.4 
RC1.app" directory to "NetbookBootMaker 0.8.4 RC1.app.tar" or "NetbookInstaller 
0.8.4 RC1.app.tar"
3. Delete "NetbookBootMaker 0.8.4 RC1.app.zip" or "NetbookInstaller 0.8.4 
RC1.app.zip" from desktop
4. Hex Edit the resulting tar file for instances of ".dsdl"
5. Untar the "NetbookBootMaker 0.8.4 RC1.app.tar" or "NetbookInstaller 0.8.4 
RC1.app.tar" tar file
6. rezip the resulting app directory [NOTE: you might want to rename to 0.8.4 
RC1a

This works because tar files are not compressed like zip files.

can someone please provide a file that already has this change? I'm trying to

I don't know why this syntax error is considered a "medium" priority and hasn't 
gotten more attention.

I followed methods described in comment 17+16  and installation on asus 1001HA 
was completed till 100%. I also removed the package OSInstall.pkg to let only 
OSInstall.mpkg. 
@ralphacare: can you please tell how you proceed to replace dsdl by dsdt and 
where you are sticked ? Idea is to have .tar files instead of .zip files as 
HEXEDIT will allow you to replace each occurence of dsdl.

igilles69:

I followed the guide exactly on a SnowLeo Mac here at work.

Unless I made the tar file incorrectly... What handles or command line switches 
should I be using?

Original comment by ralph.c...@gmail.com on 1 Sep 2010 at 10:39

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Ok, I managed to tar the file up again and then I searched for "dsdl", not 
".dsdl" like comment #17 says. This may have been the error I made.

The extension is .dst so .dsdl is not what you should be searching for... it 
should be either "_dsdl" or "latest_dsdl".

I will see if it works when I get home.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
in fact this will work for NETBOOKMAKER if you also remove the OSInstall.pkg 
from your dongle, you will be able to go till the end of install process.

Regarding NETBOOKINSTALLER, even with dsdl modification, you will still have a 
hang at generation of dsdt.aml. I suggest you proceed like that:
1- run NETBOOKINSTALLER 
2- wait for the install to hang at dsdt.aml generation
3- open a terminal (do not close NBI!!!)
4- type "sudo su"
5- enter your root or admin password
6- type "cd /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/"
7- type "mv latest_dsdt.dsl latest_dsdl.dsl"
8- come back to NBI, it should normally continue so you should be able to end 
up NBI process

You will also have a hang on reboot after OSX update, just shut down and 
restart, it should be OK.

Well, none of these suggestions are working for me. By removing the 
OSInstall.pkg, I don't see how the install process proceeds properly. Yes, the 
installer finally shows success, but booting into the OS still crashes my 
netbook upon where the login screen/desktop should appear. Am I the only one 
having issues here??

So I made the modifications to the TAR image using HexEdit and upon running the 
newly modded USB drive it crashed at the apple logo screen.

Is there any way of running this in Verbose Mode so I can see what kernel panic 
I'm getting?

try to read the message error you get when booting OSX. If talking about I386, 
then you should boot using arch=i386 to use 32bit mode. If not, give us the 
error message.

hmmm, i tried that already, installation showed as completed, but the netbook 
crashed at the login screen/desktop stage. Should I be running NBI from the 
installation disk after installing OSX? If so, what boxes should I tick. I'll 
try again.

I live in Shenzhen, China, 2 subway stations from the electronics market here. 
I have a recently released 11.1" Macbook Air Clone. Atom N270, GMA950. I can't 
really give you more info on the components inside this box, since my Chinese 
is not great, and the merchants often haven't a clue what they are selling 
anyways. It seems they just sell whatever the factory sends them, lol. Windows 
7 runs great on this, and I want to eventually dual boot. Right now I am just 
trying to get OSX 10.6.3 working on a single partition. I am installing with an 
original 10.6.0 installer modified with the latest NetbookBootMaker that I 
patched as per the instructions above.

One more thing... Before making the hex edit in the NetbookBootMaker file, the 
log shows the install hanging here:

OSInstaller[241]: ./postinstall: cp: /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdl.dsl: No 
such file or directory

...now I get this error (after making the hex-edit change)

OSInstaller[249]: ./postinstall: cp: /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdt.dsl: No 
such file or directory

So, even patching the TAR file seems to have not helped my installation. 
Granted, the installer does not get caught in a loop anymore, but the installer 
still hangs with 10-7 mins left (depending on my install options from the 
beginning), and a boot has the computer crashing where the grey apple logo 
disappears and the computer tries to access the finder/login screen.

Once you get to that point, snow leopard is already installed (Note the 
"postinstall" message)

Reboot using your usb drive and use netbookinstaller to install the Chameleon 
boot loader

Once there, you need to find the appropriate kexts to support whatever hardware 
you have.  A good place to find kexts is at kexts.com

Problem replicated with NetbookInstaller 0.8.5pre i.e. same error occurs when 
using the latest NBI.

I get the same './postinstall: cp: /Volumes/ramdisk/dsdt/latest_dsdt.dsl: No 
such file or directory' error

NBI 0.8.5pre appears to have a different file structure than 0.8.4 versions so 
I can not find reference to the problematic latest_dsdl.dsl file. I am also 
unable to mount the ramdisk while installing so I am unable to attempt to 
change the file name and make the install proceed.

Any ideas?
