USB Boot Freeze: 10.6 + NetbookBootMaker 8.3 Alpha #182

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Insert USB Drive with 10.6 image and NetbookBookMaker 8.3 alpha
2.  Power on and enter BIO (does this in A04-A05-A06) change boot to USB 
to first option
3.  Attempt to boot from the USB drive.

What netbook are you using this on?
Dell Mini 10v

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
10.6 setup should start.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Currently on A06 Bios rocking a Dell Mini 10v with 2GB memory.

Please provide any additional information below.
I went though the process once before...and had both OSX 10.6.2 and 
Windows 7 installed and running.  I didn't have the option to use 
Chameleon to select my OS to boot as I figured I missed a step in the 
guide I was using.  

So I booted the USB stick with 10.6 and NetbookBookMaker 8.3 Alpha and 
loaded OS X 10.6 and was able to update to 10.6.2.

Next I loaded Windows 7...and all was good...W7 loads fine but I know I 
need to reload Chameleon so it will see both OSs.

I insert the USB stick and boot...but this time I only get the Darwin | 
which turns about a quarter of the way...and then freezes.  The cursor 
contiunes to blink under the | but it doesn't go any futher.

The Windows 7 USB stick will still boot...but I can't go any farther with 
the OS X + NetbookBootMaker 8.3 Alpha / Chameleon installation...thus I 
only have Windows 7.

Tried all 3 BIOs versions with 2 Different USB Sticks from 2 different 
manufactures...and nothing is helping it progress.

Thanks a lot for everything!!!

I deleted all the OSX partitions and it allowed me to boot the USB drive again. 

Virusdoc suggested to try that and it worked!

Now I can boot the USB stick again.

Thanks a lot!
