Thread: Can't boot stand-alone. Must use iBoot

---System Setup---

Asus Sabertooth 55i
Core i5 Sandy Bridge 2.9 Ghz
Sapphire Radeon 5770
4GB GSkill RAM
Western Digital Veloci-Raptor 300g

-------------------

The instillation of 10.6.8 went fine, I have it running well.

I ran MultiBeast and selected EasyBeast with System Utilities --> Would not boot from HDD.

I formatted HDD and re-installed to a clean version of 10.6.8, ran MultiBeast, restarted --> Would not boot from HDD.

I did the 4k Hard drive work around where you unmount the partition that 10.6.8 is installed on and mount the booth1 Chimera file --> Restarted and would not boot from HDD.

Booted in with iBoot, got a DSDT file for Sabertooth 55i off of the forums here, put it on my desktop and ran MultiBeast with UserDSDT and System Utilities --> Restarted and would not boot from HDD.

Added nullcpupowermanagement.kext with MultiBeast --> Restarted and would not boot from HDD.

When I boot with -v it gets partway through the sequence... I'd say 6 seconds in, as soon as the reporting starts on the second page it restarts.

***Edit: I also cannot boot into Snow Leopard with iBoot without using PCIRootUID=1 modifier.

I installed the Kext that removes the need to type PCIRootUID=1 in every boot. However when I booted I am stuck at the apple loading screen using iBoot***

So please, anything you can do to help me. Why won't it boot from HDD? It requires iBoot every time.

add flag to boot

-v
and post results of where it gets stuck

without iboot can you get to boot screen at all?

or is it boot0 error?

details of problem helps pics help more then words.
